Volcanic vulnerability : Determining the relationship between urban proximity to volcanoes and human development

Creator:: Hogue, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: Many studies have looked at human settlements around individual volcanoes for volcanic risk analyses, but few have done a comparative study to identify possible global patterns. With the use of Landsat ETM+ data, this study identifies and compares urban proximity to the Decade Volcanoes to identify volcanic settlement patterns. These...

Feasibility of supplementary sampling of the commercial groundfish landings in Oregon using seafood plant workers

Creator:: Builder, Tonya L.
Abstract:: Fishery dependent data--length distributions, sex ratios, maturity schedules, and species composition of landed catches--are necessary for stock assessments. These data are currently collected by state port biologists using a sampling design that randomly selects samples from a small percentage of a very large target population. Sampling programs may need to...

Habitat mapping and identifying suitable habitat of Redfish Rocks Pilot Marine Reserve, Port Orford, Oregon

Creator:: Amolo, Rizaller C.
Abstract:: Establishment of marine protected areas (MPAs) has been documented to effectively manage marine resource's diversity and enhance fisheries productivity. However, there must be a critical consideration of how these sites are selected and the actual description of the site itself. Its effectiveness is greatly dependent on understanding these habitats and...

Locating villages in the floods : the use of RADARSAT imagery in the flood hazard management in Bangladesh

Creator:: Petry, Heather N.
Abstract:: Bangladesh lies almost entirely on the delta of three major rivers: the Padma (the Ganges), the Jamuna (the Brahmaputra), and the Meghna. A considerable portion of Bangladesh has been repeatedly devastated by floods associated with cyclonic storm surges along its coastal islands and riverine flooding along the rivers traversing the...

Using Data Loss and Duplication Maps to study data use associated with nearest-neighbor resampling

Creator:: Perigny, Mathew
Abstract:: Nearest-neighbor resampling is a common procedure used by cartographers to reproject raster data sets. This type of resampling is useful because it retains the data from the original raster data set. However, during nearest-neighbor resampling some of the original data will be lost as it is reprojected, while other data...

Marine habitat use of black-footed and Laysan albatrosses during the post-breeding season and their spatial and temporal overlap with commercial fisheries

Creator:: Fischer, Karen Naess
Abstract:: Incidental bycatch in commercial fisheries has been identified as a threat to black-footed albatrosses (Phoebastria nigripes) and Laysan albatrosses (P. immutabilis). Effective long-term conservation of these albatrosses necessitates a thorough understanding of their marine distribution, which marine habitats are selected during foraging, and where they are most likely to interact...

Foraging ecology, diving behavior, and migration patterns of harbor seals (Phoca vitulina richardii) from a glacial fjord in Alaska in relation to prey availability and oceanographic features

Creator:: Womble, Jamie N.
Abstract:: Understanding the movement behavior and foraging strategies of individuals across multiple spatial and temporal scales is essential not only for understanding the biological requirements of individuals but also for linking individual strategies to population level effects. Glacial fjords scattered throughout south-central and southeastern Alaska host some of the largest seasonal...

The historic and contemporary ecology of western Cascade meadows : archeology, vegetation, and macromoth ecology

Creator:: Highland, Steven A.
Abstract:: Montane meadows in the western Cascades of Oregon occupy approximately 5% of the landscape, but contribute greatly to the region's biodiversity. Western Cascades meadows are dynamic parts of the landscape and have contracted by over 50% in the past two hundred years in the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest (hereafter Andrews...
