Modeling the Environmental Protection Agency's level IV ecoregions within the Klamath Mountains of southern Oregon and northern California

Creator:: Zanger, Christopher
Abstract:: Ecoregions are regions of relative homogeneity with respect to specific ecosystem variables (Bailey 1976; Omernik 1995). There has been an increasing awareness that effective management of environmental resources must be undertaken with an ecosystem perspective (Omernik, 1995). Ecoregions serve as a spatial framework for assessing, managing, and monitoring ecosystems that...

Using remote sensing, in situ observations, and geographic information systems to map benthic habitats at Heceta Bank, Oregon

Creator:: Whitmire, Curt E.
Abstract:: Dramatic declines in many species of demersal fishes off the West Coast have resulted in the designation of nine commercially important species as being overfished. While the causes of those declines are not clearly understood, the fact remains that a paucity of life history and abundance data exists for many...

A novel landscape ecology approach for determining microhabitat correlations and faunal patchiness in extreme environments:pilot study for the Southern East Pacific Rise at 17-18° S

Creator:: Wargo Rub, Michelle
Abstract:: Since their discovery in 1977, hydrothermal vent communities have offered scientists a unique glimpse into a world that is supported primarily by chemically derived energy rather than direct energy from the sun. Furthermore, studies of hydrothermal vent ecosystems have introduced scientists to amazing animals that have successfully adapted to living...

Integration of submersible transect data andhigh-resolution sonar imagery for a habitat-based groundfish assessment of Heceta Bank, Oregon

Creator:: Nasby, Nicole M.
Abstract:: Dramatic declines in several groundfish populations have occurred along the U.S. West Coast during the last decade (PFMC 1999, Sampson 1997, Ralston 1998, Bloeser 1999). One problem exacerbating these declines is insufficient stock assessments, especially for species of west coast rockfish (Family Scorpaenidae, Genus Sebastes) which comprise the core of...

Spatial interpolation in other dimensions

Creator:: Martin, Peter
Abstract:: The purpose of this work is to broaden the theoretical foundations of interpolation of spatial data, by showing how ideas and methods from information theory and signal processing are applicable to the the work of geographers. Attention is drawn to the distinction between what we study and how we represent...

Using an internet map server and coastal remote sensing for education

Creator:: Bower, Peter A.
Abstract:: An Internet Map Server (IMS) web site was constructed with the goal of helping middle- through high-school students learn about ocean processes. This IMS was developed in conjunction with the activities of the Science & Math Investigative Learning Experience (SMILE) program, and for eventual use with the Oregon Coastal Atlas,...

Developing "humane" interfaces to data clearinghouses for improving the delivery of spatial information to marine resource managers

Creator:: Walsh, Kuuipo
Abstract:: Web geographic information systems (GISs) and the Internet are now providing the connectivity necessary to support large-scale data access by a wide variety of users, including not just scientific researchers, but also policy-makers and marine resource managers. However, connectivity alone cannot ensure that those who need natural resource information will...

The implementation of two distributed databases of water-related information

Creator:: Ward, Brian S.
Abstract:: One of the most pressing concerns in the Geographic Information Science community is the distribution of spatial datasets over the Internet. Two projects of the Department of Geosciences at Oregon State University are in the process of distributing data. The Oregon Coast Geospatial Clearinghouse was implemented with the goal of...

Metadata for the Oregon Coast Geospatial Clearinghouse: concept, implementation, and maintenance

Creator:: Duvall, Gillien N.
Abstract:: Geographical data and information are virtually unlimited in their quantity and are oftentimes scattered throughout a multitude of locations and stored in various formats on a wide variety of platforms. The Oregon Coast Geospatial Clearinghouse (OCGC) is a web-based central repository for metadata (data about data) corresponding to collected data...

Arc Marine as a spatial data infrastructure : a marine data model case study in whale tracking by satellite telemetry

Creator:: Lord-Castillo, Brett K.
Abstract:: The Arc Marine data model is a generalized template to guide the implementation of geographic information systems (GIS) projects in the marine environment. Arc Marine developed out of a collaborative process involving research and industry shareholders in coastal and marine research. This template models and attempts to standardize common marine...
