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...

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...

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...

Remote sensing methodology for bioenvironmental surveillance in the vicinity of the Boardman Coal-Fired Power Plant, Oregon

Creator:: Denkers, D. Scott
Abstract:: In 1979, the Geographic Applications Laboratory of the Department of Geography, Oregon State University, was retained by the Portland General Electric Company to form and supervise a program to monitor the bioenvironment in the vicinity of the Boardman Coal-Fired Power plant. This partially fulfills requirements of the Department of Energy...

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...

Effects of scale properties on biodiversity mapping in Oregon

Creator:: Kennelly, Patrick J., (Patrick Joseph)
Abstract:: The effect of scale is an important concern in mapping of biodiversity. Scale issues include the grid cell size used for analysis and the effect of the extent and internal boundaries. Because biodiversity analysis involves combinatorial processes, determining the proper scale is data dependent and cannot be predicted from the...

Airborne videography as a classification and validation technique for Landsat TM-based vegetation mapping

Creator:: Barrett, Charley, 1965-
Abstract:: The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's (ODFW) Ecological Analysis Center (EAC) is in the process of creating, from Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery, a vegetation map of Oregon that will meet the latest standards set by the National Gap Analysis Program. Since field verification is often expensive and by...

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...
