  • 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...

  • Geographical geomorphology : historical development, contemporary problems, and future prospects

    Creator:
    Beach, Gary L.
    Abstract:
    Geographical geomorphology is a young science with a long, complex history closely paralleling the growth and development of geology. From an enthusiastic beginning under the tutelage of William Morris Davis, geographical geomorphology rapidly lost its influence and stature in geography. Today there is a sense of purpose and direction that...

  • 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...

  • Cirque orientation in the major highlands of Oregon

    Creator:
    McEwan, Duncan
    Abstract:
    Cirque aspects and elevations in the major highlands of Oregon indicate a pattern of climate during the Pleistocene similar to that of today. Mean cirque floor elevation increases toward the drier interior. Concentrations of cirques facing northeast, and steep gradients of cirque floor trend surfaces to the southwest, indicate a...

  • An analysis of suspected neoglacial ice-cored impounding Carver Lake, South Sister region, High Cascades, Oregon

    Creator:
    Rector, Michel L.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study is to determine if the ntoraines damming proglacial Carver Lake are ice-cored. The methodology to be employed consists of interpretation of aerial photographs and field observations. The results of these studies will be compared. to past research of known ice-cored moraines in other regions of...

  • Design criteria for a surface coal mine reclamation plan in northwest Colorado

    Creator:
    Marston, Richard Alan
    Abstract:
    The surface mining of coal has accelerated in northwest Colorado to the point where public pressure plus impending state and federal regulations dictate the need for comprehensive reclamation plans. A large coal company operating in Moffat County has solicited recommendations concerning soils, hydrogeology, geomorphology, aesthetics, wildlife, vegetation, microclimatology, and legal...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Terrain analysis : historical perspective and future direction

    Creator:
    Lane, Forest J.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study is to review the historical development of the central ideas of military geography and terrain analysis and to examine these new research initiatives from that perspective. Although the mobility and technological aspects of warfare have changed rapidly, the essential geographic nature of warfare has remained...
