The application of spatial data analysis and visualization in the development of landscape indicators to assess stream conditions

Creator:: Buckley, Aileen R.
Abstract:: The main theme of this research is the application of geographic techniques in a study involving environmental monitoring and analysis of the associations between landscape and in-stream characteristics in the Pacific Northwest. The geographic techniques used in this study include (1) geographic information systems (GIS) coupled with statistical analysis and...

Multivariate thematic map visualization of the Oregon 2001 drought

Creator:: Theirl, David M.
Abstract:: The visualization of climate patterns is a major theme in cartography. Short-term dramatic weather events such as hurricanes and tornado outbreaks are mapped and displayed immediately in order to capitalize on the sensational nature of the events, and to quickly and accurately convey the information to emergency workers and the...

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...

Identification of irrigation practices using photographic and optical-mechanical scanning remote sensing techniques

Creator:: Naim, Shamim
Abstract:: Irrigation is essential for profitable agriculture in the western United States. It is the largest consumer of water and power in Oregon. Conflicting uses of water and power and their scarcity demands judicious planning for allocation of these resources. Creditable baseline data are not only needed for irrigated crop acreages,...

Modeling the Environmental Protection Agency's level IV ecoregions within the Klamath Mountains of Southern Oregon and Northern California : a Geographic Information System approach

Creator:: Zanger, Christopher
Abstract:: Ecoregions are regions of relative homogeneity with respect to specific ecosystem variables (Bailey 1976; Omernik 1995). There has been an increasing awareness that effective management of environmental resources must be undertaken with an ecosystem perspective (Omernik, 1995). Ecoregions serve as a spatial framework for assessing, managing, and monitoring ecosystems that...

Biophysical spectral regionalization of the Pacific Northwest using Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer Imagery

Creator:: Greninger, Jon F.
Abstract:: Satellite imagery has become an efficient and time effective tool that may aid in the development of regional terrestrial and aquatic resource management schemes. A methodology utilizing National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) imagery, 1.1 kilometer spatial resolution at nadir, was developed for delineating...

Determination of geographic information system database characteristics : an application of the information integration theory

Creator:: Brooks, Kris
Abstract:: The development of a geographic information system (GIS) requires the development of large databases of spatially related information. Scale, resolution and the classification of thematic data can vary considerably in terms of the level of detail at which the data are compiled and converted to machine readable form. The level...

Development of a GIS for the Marys River Watershed for fish and wildlife analysis

Creator:: Callahan, Brady
Abstract:: GIS technology has reached a point where it can be utilized by nonprofessionals in a desktop environment. This paper reviews the implementation of a pilot project for developing a localized-natural resource GIS. The resulting GIS was custom designed to answer questions posed by fish and wildlife biologists who need to...

Geographic information systems : some considerations for use in geographic research and analysis

Creator:: Herstrom, Andrew A.
Abstract:: The major considerations for acquiring and using a geographic information system (G..I.S.) for regional or national geographical research and analysis are examined in this paper. After defining what a G.I.S. is, some of the more practical and useful functions of a G.I.S. in day-to--day geographical work are outlined. Finally, the...

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...
