  • Analysis of riparian vegetation age structure and forest land ownership in the Central Oregon Cascades

    Creator:
    Purnell, Christopher S.
    Abstract:
    Vegetation along the banks of mountain streams in the western Oregon Cascades comprises an integral part of the transition zone between land and water based ecosystems, and as such, is a vitally important and unique natural resource. Forestry is a major land use in this region, and harvesting riparian vegetation...

  • Practitioner’s hands and academic eyes : a practical approach to improving disaster preparedness and response

    Creator:
    Thompson, Wiley C.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation primarily uses observations made during the 2005 Kashmir earthquake relief effort and available disaster literature to address problems that impede effective and efficient disaster preparedness and response. Three manuscripts form the body of the dissertation. The manuscripts are thematically linked through the Emergency Management Cycle. Each manuscript examines...

  • From myth to reality: mapping the Northwest 1790 to 1850

    Creator:
    Mathewson, Sandy
    Abstract:
    The prevailing image of the Northwest at the beginning of the nineteenth century, as portrayed on maps published at the time, was based more on myth and wishful thinking than on geographic fact. During the next fifty years these myths were exploded as exploration of this previously unknown territory progressed,...

  • 4D data visualization incorporating time into 3D animations

    Creator:
    Boright, Jonathan
    Abstract:
    ArcView 3D Analyst is a powerful geospatial tool, and has proven very useful in 3D visualization and analysis. In most cases, 3D data models are temporally static, representing only one instance in time. For many applications, the 'missing' time dimension is of great significance, and there is a need to...

  • Interactive choropleth mapping using high resolution color graphics

    Creator:
    Spielman, Julie B.
    Abstract:
    A program, Color Choropleth Mapping System (CCMS), has been developed to provide high quality color choropleth maps at the Geography Department at Oregon State University. The program operates interactively and is menu-driven. When developing the software for mapping programs, programmers need to be aware of cartographic theory, as well as...

  • The influence of map complexity on interpolation accuracy.pdf

    Creator:
    Young, Brian K.
    Abstract:
    In this paper "map complexity" refers to the inherent intricacy of a mapped geographic pattern. Map complexity and sample size are two variables shown to influence the accuracy of interpolated dasymetric maps. An automated experiment was designed to investigate the precise relationship among map complexity, sample size, and the accuracy...

  • The use of GIS in the analysis and prediction of available salmon habitat in an Oregon coastal stream

    Creator:
    Newton, Ann M.
    Abstract:
    Because of declines in salmon populations in recent years, the health of salmon habitat, in particular, is the focus of many resource agencies. The objective of this study is to use GIS to predict the location of suitable habitat. With data from an extensive set of stream surveys, GIS was...

  • An inventory of Oregon county land use maps with recommendations for future standardization

    Creator:
    Batch, Donna Jeanne
    Abstract:
    An inventory of existing land use maps developed by Oregon county planning departments has been made through use of questionnaires and interviews. The degree of consistency has been examined with regard to the types of base maps, scales, projections, base information, and classification schemes employed. Recommendations have been made for...

    Abstract:
    Cartographic generalization results In locational Inaccuracies of the generalized feature. The cartographer expresses the amount of generalization and the locational inaccuracy of the feature through map design and choice of map scale. This information is often lost when the map is digitized. In the environment of geographic Information systems, the...
