Using educational tools and integrative experiences via geovisualizations that incorporate spatial thinking, real world science and ocean literacy standards in the classroom : a case study examined

Creator:: Kinzel, Michelle Rene
Abstract:: The field of geography has been transformed in recent years through the use of spatial tools such as geographic information systems (GIS) satellite and acoustic remote sensing, the global positioning system (GPS), Internet mapping and more. Studying geography and earth science in the digital age now requires a sophisticated and...

The Potential of Dynamic Segmentation for Aquatic Ecosystem Management : Pacific Lamprey Decline in the Native Lands of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (Oregon, USA)

Creator:: Palacios, Kelly C.
Abstract:: The Lamprey Eel Decline project conducted by the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (CTSI) combined traditional ecological knowledge, scientific research and geographic information science. CTSI wanted to learn why the Pacific lamprey (Lampetra tridentata), a culturally and ecologically important species, was declining in the streams within their native land area....

Lahar hazard mapping of Mount Shasta, California : a GIS-based delineation of potential inundation zones in Mud and Whitney Creek basins

Creator:: McClung, Steven C.
Abstract:: Mount Shasta, the southernmost stratovolcano in the Cascade Range (41.4°N) has frequently produced lahars of various magnitudes during the last 10,000 yr. These include large flows of eruptive origin, reaching more than 40km from the summit, and studies have shown that at least 70 debris flows of noneruptive origin have...

Spatial Variability Mapping of pH in Oregon Organic Farms using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Geospatial Interpolation Models

Creator:: Stewart, Julie A.
Abstract:: This internship project (Dr. Dawn Wright—Department of Geoscience) was a synthesis of several aspects of the research process. The documentation of methods consisted of: primary data collection of soil samples, geographical coordinates, georeferencing, basemap creation, laboratory machine operation, laboratory methods, laboratory quality control planning, statistical analysis, and geo-statistical analysis using...

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...

Biogeography of nonindigenous species: from description to prediction

Creator:: Reusser, Deborah A.
Abstract:: Nonindigenous species are a major threat to the ecological integrity and biodiversity of marine and estuarine ecosystems. To become a successful invader, species must pass through four phases: (1) survive transport, (2) survive release, (3) establish a population, and (4) expand their range. To better understand these processes, an integrated...

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...

Integrating GIS and community mapping into secondary science education:a web GIS approach

Creator:: O'Dea, Elizabeth K.
Abstract:: Geographic information systems (GISs) offer a useful tool for educators to teach students about local and global communities in various subjects. GISs are increasingly being used in K-12 education, but that growth is hindered due to many teachers’ limited access to time or resources necessary to adequately learn a GIS...

The marine geomorphology of American Samoa : shapes and distributions of deep sea volcanics

Creator:: Roberts, Jed T.
Abstract:: The geologic processes at work in American Samoa have long been a point of scientific debate. Of its numerous volcanic formations, few breach sea level, leaving an enormous proportion of their mass unavailable to traditional observation. This study aims to describe the deep sea geomorphology of American Samoa through compilation,...

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...
