  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Landsliding processes occurring on a McDonald-Dunn Forest hillslope

    Creator:
    Shively, David D.
    Abstract:
    Landslide processes occurring on a hillslope in McDonald-Dunn Forest on the eastern slope of the Oregon Coastal Range are described in terms of type, magnitude. minimum age and site characteristics. Debris flows and debris avalanches are the dominant types of slope movement occurring in the study area. Landslide events classified...

  • 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....

  • Terrain analysis and Geographic Information Systems

    Creator:
    Bruzese, Victoria M.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this paper is to define terrain analysis, as it relates to military applications; to review the historical development of the central ideas of terrain analysis, which has led to the development of three computer programs that are designed to make terrain analysis an automated process rather than...

  • 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...

  • Vegetation classification of wild turkey habitat in Umpqua National Forest using color aerial photography

    Creator:
    Hazell, Bret Jack
    Abstract:
    This project focuses on the classification of vegetation as a habitat for wild turkeys. The vegetation classification discussed here is only one part of a study looking at habitat requirements, seasonal use patterns, and brood-rearing habits of wild turkeys in Southern Oregon. The vegetation classification was performed for an 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...

    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...
