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...

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,...

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...

The origin and characteristics of soil mounds and patterned ground in North Central Oregon

Creator:: Nelson, Clark A.
Abstract:: Sections of the landscape in north central Oregon are dominated by numerous soil mounds surrounded by stone rings. Mounds vary in size and shape depending on slope and mound density. Internal soil mass is free of stones to the bedrock level and is covered by successive layers of volcanic ash....

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...
Resource Type:: Capstone Project
Full Text:: separability data, no false color composite provided an overall improvement in discriminating between salt

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...
Resource Type:: Capstone Project

Determination of Coastal changes in Lincoln County, Oregon using aerial photographic interpretation

Creator:: Smith, Elaine C.
Abstract:: In order for proper land use planning to occur in coastal Lincoln County, Oregon, coastal erosion rates should be determined. This has been accomplished by identifying the location of the Lincoln County coast in 1939, 1959, and 1973 and measuring the amount of change occurring between the years. The area...

Landslide hazards in The Dalles, Wasco County, Oregon

Creator:: Sholin, Michael Hugh
Abstract:: Human activity has led to the reactivation of portions of a Pleistocene landslide complex in The Dalles, Oregon. Slope movements are in rocks of the Chenowith formation: agglomerate, conglomerate, tuff breccia, sandstone, and siltstone. Slope movements occur in at least two distinct areas in The Dalles. At one, the shear...
