  • A study of the geomorphological processes at the Siltcoos foredune breaching experiment site

    Creator:
    Hanna, James M.
    Abstract:
    The focus of this study was to examine and record the physical changes brought about by the breaching of the Siltcoos Foredune. The origin of the dunes and the physical processes that operate there must be considered before effects due to the breach can be studied. A series of field...

  • A channel stability inventory for two streams on the eastern slopes of the Coast Range, Oregon

    Creator:
    Sachet, James A.
    Abstract:
    Stream channel stability for two tributaries of Rock Creek in the Oregon Coast Range is evaluated by application of a Stream Reach Inventory. Stability nomographs are constructed for graphical analysis of erosion potential. Results indicate that channel stability can be classified. One stream is rated as 'Poor' in resistance to...

  • Monitoring sand dune processes at the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area : can pre-vegetated conditions be restored?

    Creator:
    Mitteager, Wendy Ann
    Abstract:
    The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area is managed by the Siuslaw Forest division of the United States Forest Service (USFS). This area has gradually been overcome by vegetation since the 1950's, originating with the exotic European Beach Grass (Ammophila arenaria). The invasion of this exotic vegetation has resulted in a...

  • Developing a Geographic Information System county template to support tsunami evacuation route planning on the Oregon Coast

    Creator:
    Gomez, Kyle R.
    Abstract:
    Tsunamis pose a major threat to Oregon's coastal communities. Evacuation is the best method to mitigate for tsunamis. Planning for tsunami evacuation is underway in Oregon's coastal communities. Current methodologies use tsunami inundation models and population for evacuation planning. Tsunamis from a Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) earthquake will create more...

  • Cirque orientation in the major highlands of Oregon

    Creator:
    McEwan, Duncan
    Abstract:
    Cirque aspects and elevations in the major highlands of Oregon indicate a pattern of climate during the Pleistocene similar to that of today. Mean cirque floor elevation increases toward the drier interior. Concentrations of cirques facing northeast, and steep gradients of cirque floor trend surfaces to the southwest, indicate a...

  • An Investigation of Photographic Band-Ratioing

    Creator:
    Fisher, Scott William
    Abstract:
    A photographic band-ratioing technique was investigated. The data source consisted of 70 mm Landsat Multispectral Scanner (MSS) negatives. The process would require combining registered positive and negative transparencies to achieve a ratio modulation in the resulting print. This would also require compensation for atmospheric effects on the original negatives by...

  • Design criteria for a surface coal mine reclamation plan in northwest Colorado

    Creator:
    Marston, Richard Alan
    Abstract:
    The surface mining of coal has accelerated in northwest Colorado to the point where public pressure plus impending state and federal regulations dictate the need for comprehensive reclamation plans. A large coal company operating in Moffat County has solicited recommendations concerning soils, hydrogeology, geomorphology, aesthetics, wildlife, vegetation, microclimatology, and legal...

  • Storm-induced mass wasting in forested areas: conditions and characteristics for three Western Oregon study sites

    Creator:
    Robben, Joshua L.
    Abstract:
    Much of the rich forestlands of Oregon are subject to frequent mass wasting events, resulting in severe environmental and economic damages. Extensive research has shown that this landslide hazard is often exacerbated by many management activities. Following a severe storm event which triggered thousands of landslides, the Oregon Department of...

  • Mapping glacier flow on the Juneau Icefield, Alaska-Canada

    Creator:
    Atwood, Nate N.
    Abstract:
    Field data collection techniques in combination with remote sensing techniques were used to interpret and map the complex flow pattern of the numerous glaciers comprising the Juneau lcefield, spanning the Alaska- Canada boundary range. The extensive nature of the icefield mandated the use of a variety of methods for surveying...

  • One approach to the development of a simple Geographic Information System for management of natural resource areas

    Creator:
    Gaston, Greg G.
    Abstract:
    This project explored one set of tools and procedures that appeared to have the potential to make the handling of the spatial data necessary for resource management more efficient and effective. This project used data from the Nature Conservancy's Lawrence Memorial Grassland Preserve and was designed to explore a low...
