Assessment of LIDAR for identification of present and past forest roads

Creator:: Fitt, Brandon J.
Abstract:: In this study, LIDAR, light detection and ranging, was examined as to its ability to depict the existence of forest roads and 'legacy' roads. LIDAR is most often used to 'see' though the trees or vegetation to get an accurate representation of the terrain. As opposed to trying to remove...

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...

The geomorphic significance of log steps in forest streams of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Marston, Richard A.
Abstract:: A log step develops when large woody debris extends across the active channel, creating a change in the water surface elevation as the stream spills over the log step. By forming a series of vertical falls, log steps reduce the amount of potential energy available for conversion to kinetic energy...

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...

An assessment of a Stream Reach Inventory and Channel Stability Evaluation : predicting and detecting flood-induced change in channel stability

Creator:: Morét, Stephanie L.
Abstract:: Pre-flood (1995), and post-flood (1996) channel stability surveys were conducted on 22 reaches along Oak Creek, Benton County, Oregon in an effort to note if the flood of February 1996 altered the channel and if the channel stability survey that was being used accurately predicted the channels resistance to change...

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...

Locating villages in the floods : the use of RADARSAT imagery in the flood hazard management in Bangladesh

Creator:: Petry, Heather N.
Abstract:: Bangladesh lies almost entirely on the delta of three major rivers: the Padma (the Ganges), the Jamuna (the Brahmaputra), and the Meghna. A considerable portion of Bangladesh has been repeatedly devastated by floods associated with cyclonic storm surges along its coastal islands and riverine flooding along the rivers traversing the...

Morphometric properties of nivation hollows on Hart Mountain, Lake County, Oregon

Creator:: Rademacher, Christopher L.
Abstract:: Hart Mountain is a basaltic fault block mountain in the semi-desert region of the northern Basin and Range province in south-central Oregon. Geomorphic processes associated with lingering snowpatches have formed nivation hollows, which are small scale depressions in the hillsides. The lingering snow in the hollows prohibits shrub growth. Bedrock...
