Weighing the Benefits of Returning Fire to the Landscape: Strategic Fire Management Workloads

Creator:

Goodwin, Ian

Abstract:

The accumulation of fuels in fire prone landscapes, and changing climatic conditions, have resulted in increasingly volatile fire behaviors. As a result, social and operational risk, management expenditures, and budgetary requirements for responsible agencies are increasing. The United States Forest Service (USFS) manages 193 million acres across the United States...

Masters Thesis
Tethering and Biochar: Two Emergent Technologies with Implications for Fuels Treatments on Federal Forest Lands

Creator:

Petitmermet, Joshua H.

Abstract:

Two manuscripts are presented, each examining the potential impacts of emerging technologies on the economic feasibility of fuels reduction treatments on federal forest lands. Both manuscripts were prepared as part of the larger effort funded by the Institute for Working Forest Landscapes under the “Opportunities for biochar production to reduce...

Masters Thesis
Development of a cable logging system analysis package for micro-computers

Creator:

Chung, Joosang

Abstract:

A computer program package to estimate cable yarding payload capability was made. The package was intended to expand applicability of existing packages and to be user friendly. It has six system options: live skyline, standing skyline, running skyline, slackline, multispan and highlead. In the standing skyline and multispan analyses, load...

Capstone Project
Rigid link and catenary skyline analysis programs for microcomputers

Creator:

Kendrick, David E.

Abstract:

Skyline logging is a commonly used method of harvesting logs, particularly on steep slopes. Logging systems planners frequently solve two kinds of skyline analysis problems. The first is the maximum payload problem and the second is the standing skyline load path problem. Computer assisted skyline analysis techniques have been available...

Resource Type:

Capstone Project
Tactical forest planning using the scheduling and network analysis program (SNAP II)

Creator:

Mafera, Thomas E.

Abstract:

Approximately 750 million acres, or one-third, of the total area in the United States is in forest land. The United States Forest Service, a 34,000 person agency of the Department of Agriculture, is responsible for the management of roughly 20 percent of the forest land in the United States. The...

Capstone Project
Estimating large woody debris recruitment from adjacent riparian areas

Creator:

Minor, Kathleen P.

Abstract:

Large woody debris recruitment to streams from adjacent riparian forests influences stream channel morphology, sediment routing, and fish habitat. A mathematical model was developed to 1) determine whether the trees in a stand adjacent to a stream, upon falling, would provide large woody debris of a specified size to the...

Capstone Project
Alternative timber transportation system for Pakistan

Creator:

Iqbal, Mohammad

Abstract:

In Pakistan, forest land is either owned by government or at least managed by provincial forest service if it is private land. Timber is logged by contractors and delivered by small four wheel drive trucks over low standard roads to a transfer yard, where it is unloaded to await transport...

Capstone Project
SkidPC 2000: a mobility, production, and rut depth simulation program

Creator:

Spong, Ben D.

Abstract:

SkidPC 2000, written in Visual Basic Version 6.0, is an updated version of the 1987 DOS program that calculates the mobility and productivity of ground-based logging vehicles over a ground profile. As in the original program, the user enters the vehicle and operational conditions and the program will calculate the...

Capstone Project
Timber transportation optimization and vehicle routing: a GIS application in South Africa

Creator:

Oberholzer, S. Francois

Abstract:

Evaluating different timber transport configurations for a large road network is a challenging task. Road curves are often too sharp to allow access to certain configurations. This paper evaluates the feasibility of using a geographical information system (GIS) road data set as a basis for determining the accessibility of plantation...

Capstone Project
Selecting wire rope design factors in cable yarding: a review and proposal

Creator:

Rheinberger, Steven Joseph

Abstract:

Traditional rationale for design factors is briefly reviewed. Methodologies for determining these traditional design factors are lacking and are usually based upon subjective reasons which result in applying a design factor of 3.0 in all cases (western United States). Factors which affect wire rope life are discussed. These factors include...
