Mapping Santa Cruz Island, California soils using a Geographic Information System and field survey

Creator:: Butterworth, Joel B.
Abstract:: Soils of Santa Cruz Island, California were mapped at the subgroup taxonomic level using a Geographic Information System (GIS) and field survey. Lithologic substrate, vegetative cover, slope gradient and slope aspect comprised the GIS data layers; these correspond to the soil-forming factors that were hypothesized to exert the greatest influence...

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...

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...

Monitoring individual particle transport in a gravel bedded stream using a passive radio transponder system, Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Childers, Elayne S.
Abstract:: Gathering empirical data on the factors and processes affecting bedload transport in the field is difficult. This project conducted during the winter of 1996 field tested a new passive method of positively tracking individual particle movement. The project was conducted in Oak Creek, a gravel bedded stream, located in Corvallis,...

A hydrological study of the Coast Fork/Middle Fork Willamette River Confluence Area

Creator:: Rogers, Valerie M.
Abstract:: The main purpose of this project is to describe the hydrologic characteristics, with and without regulation by dams, of the Coast and Middle Forks of the Willamette River, including the floodplain, from the confluence to approximately eight miles upstream. The research is intended to assess the future potential of the...

Sediment accumulation within weathering pits on Dance Hall Rock, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Utah

Creator:: Taddie, Marissa C.
Abstract:: The purpose of this paper was to examine if the depth and degree of circularity of weathering pits affects the accumulation of sediment. Thirty pits were surveyed over two one-week periods on Dance Hall Rock. Weathering pits were measured to determine their maximum width, minimum width, vertical depth, and depth...

Eolian landforms and wind power prospecting in the Central Columbia River Basin

Creator:: McClenahan, Michael R.
Abstract:: Sand dunes are used as indicators of wind power potential and examples are presented of their application as a prospecting technique at four study sites in the Central Columbia River Basin. Aerial reconnaissance is combined with interpretation of photography and topographic maps as a basis of sand dune analysis. Sand...

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...

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...

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...
