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...
Resource Type:: Capstone Project

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...
Resource Type:: Capstone Project

Creator:: Young, Stephen L.
Abstract:: An emergency management system integrating remote sensing and geographic information systems applied to emergency preparation, response, and recovery could have reduced casualties and damage after the August 17, 1999 Kocaeli, Turkey earthquake. Model system components include a horizontally and vertically distributed knowledge base, LIDAR 3D urban modeling, automatic feature extraction,...
Resource Type:: Capstone Project

Creator:: Fiske, Gregory J.
Abstract:: The Geographic Information System (GIS) is an invaluable tool in manipulating and interpreting world scale datasets. In recent years it has become the standard link between water resource study and the ever-increasing numbers of high quality data sets. This paper describes the use of Geographic Information Systems for gathering and...
Resource Type:: Capstone Project

Creator:: Fitt, Brandon J.
Abstract:: In this study, LIDAR, light detection and ranging, was examined as to its ability to depict the existence of forest roads and 'legacy' roads. LIDAR is most often used to 'see' though the trees or vegetation to get an accurate representation of the terrain. As opposed to trying to remove...
Resource Type:: Capstone Project

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...
Resource Type:: Capstone Project

Creator:: Gutierrez, Carmelita
Abstract:: Spectral profiles, transformed divergence values, and feature space derived from Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) data were used to analyze the ability of four false color composites to discriminate between different classes of salt-affected soils. To compare the spatial distribution of salt-affected soil classes, maps were generated for each false color...
Resource Type:: Capstone Project

Creator:: Atwood, Nate N.
Abstract:: Field data collection techniques in combination with remote sensing techniques were used to interpret and map the complex flow pattern of the numerous glaciers comprising the Juneau lcefield, spanning the Alaska- Canada boundary range. The extensive nature of the icefield mandated the use of a variety of methods for surveying...
Resource Type:: Capstone Project

Creator:: Lashlee, Jon D.
Abstract:: Chameleon is a physics-based landscape modeling software system designed for modeling and simulations applications. Hyperspectral laboratory, field, and imaging spectrometer measurements are collected as empirical foundation data. Linear spectral unmixing is performed to decompose each image pixel into spectral endmembers. Mathematical manipulation of these fractional abundances and introduction of new...
