Increasing the usefulness of high-altitude color infrared photography for the inventory, monitoring, and management of western wildland resources

Creator:: Colwell, Robert R.
Abstract:: This report describes the latest in a series of studies sponsored by the Nationwide Forestry Applications Program. Each such study has attempted to enhance the interpretability of remotely-sensed imagery. In this case the image type of specific interest is high-altitude color infrared (CIR) photography. This is a resource management tool...

The mapping of eelgrass in Willapa Bay, WA and an evaluation of coastal change analysis program mapping guidelines

Creator:: Hazen, Christopher J.
Abstract:: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) is developing a nationally standardized database on landcover and habitat change in the coastal regions of the United States. The Willapa Bay eelgrass mapping project was granted to the Columbia River Estuary Study Task force (CREST) of Astoria,...

Terrain sensitivity of Oregon coastal sand areas

Creator:: Starr, Richard Merritt
Abstract:: Based on a pilot study completed near Heceta Beach, Oregon, guidelines have been proposed for the development of Oregon coastal sand areas. The guidelines, in the form of performance standards are designed with respect to the variability of coastal sand areas. Landscape units and vegetation associations were grouped to reflect...

The feasibility of applying air photo interpretation to the locating, analyzing and development of wind power sites

Creator:: Maule, Peter Anthony
Abstract:: If wind power is to become a viable energy alternative, a rapid and reliable cost effective methodology must be established, whereby large areas can be surveyed for windy sites and those sites can be evaluated. Based primarily on locating wind deformed vegetation, this paper establishes the feasibility of using air...

A map enhancement for terrain visualization under Night Vision Goggle compatible lighting systems

Creator:: Thompson, Wiley C.
Abstract:: For the Army aviator, Night Vision Goggle (NVG) flight in the tactical rotarywing profile is a very demanding, task saturated environment. Map navigation is just one of the many tasks that must be accomplished during flight. The dim, monochromatic lighting required for NVG flight alters map colors, decreases image detail...

Utilizing GIS for the collection of key variables in the analysis of an international freshwater basin spatial database

Creator:: Fiske, Gregory J.
Abstract:: The Geographic Information System (GIS) is an invaluable tool in manipulating and interpreting world scale datasets. In recent years it has become the standard link between water resource study and the ever-increasing numbers of high quality data sets. This paper describes the use of Geographic Information Systems for gathering and...

Hillslope mass movements and environmental relations - Moss Creek, Oregon

Creator:: Stauch, Carola A.
Abstract:: A slide inventory was conducted for a small watershed in the northern Oregon Coast Range. Data on geology, topography and climate were used to evaluate land stability in the Moss Creek basin. As expected, a strong correlation with slope steepness was shown. In addition, failures predominantly occurred on slopes with...

Use of GIS to determine effectiveness of natural attenuation

Creator:: Sharma, Ritu
Abstract:: Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant (LAAP), located near Shreveport, Louisiana, is a government-owned contractor-operated plant. Its purpose is to manufacture, load and assemble ammunition items. Area P has been used over the past 40 years to dump explosive-laden wastewater into 16 unlined lagoons. In 1989 LAAP was placed on the National...

A comparison of false color composites in mapping and discriminating between salt-affected soils in Kings County, California

Creator:: Gutierrez, Carmelita
Abstract:: Spectral profiles, transformed divergence values, and feature space derived from Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) data were used to analyze the ability of four false color composites to discriminate between different classes of salt-affected soils. To compare the spatial distribution of salt-affected soil classes, maps were generated for each false color...

An analysis of suspected neoglacial ice-cored impounding Carver Lake, South Sister region, High Cascades, Oregon

Creator:: Rector, Michel L.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to determine if the ntoraines damming proglacial Carver Lake are ice-cored. The methodology to be employed consists of interpretation of aerial photographs and field observations. The results of these studies will be compared. to past research of known ice-cored moraines in other regions of...
