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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

A geographic information system and hydrophysical evaluation watershed analysis methodology: Ribeira da Boca Larga, Santiago Island, Republic of Cape Verde

Creator:: Riegelmann, Edward A.
Abstract:: The Cape Verde Islands, off the coast of West Africa, are subject to violent precipitation events that cause extensive soil erosion and degradation of the landscape. A systematic approach to the collection, analysis, and dissemination of hydrophysical and geographic data was needed to effectively analyze the cause and effect variables...

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...

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...

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...
