During 1975 and 1976 a sedimentation study was conducted in the Bear Creek watershed, located in the southeastern corner of central Oregon's Crook County. A Rocky Mountain infiltrometer was used to simulate high intensity rainfall over 468 sedimentation plots. Rainfall and runoff were measured and a sample of the runoff...
Oregon Biography Index is intended to serve primarily as a starting point in locating biographies of Oregonians. We have indexed 47 historical volumes which are either entirely devoted to biographies or have large self-contained biographical sections. The profiles in the books vary widely in accuracy and detail. Birth dates of...
An estuary, unlike the open ocean, is a dynamic system that is continuously undergoing changes in its physical and chemical properties. Marked fluctuations in the levels and kinds of nutrients, temperature, and salinity are normally found in estuarine environments. These changes occur principally as a result of freshwater intrusions, tidal...
For twenty-two years, I observed trees and shrubs planted for windbreaks in eastern Oregon. In this paper some conclusions are drawn, although I will be the first to emphasize that the knowledge we need and do not have would fill a much more extensive report. My observations and field work...
Starting in the 1960's, the demand for recreational properties nationwide experienced a great surge. [Reilly, 1973; David, 1969; Hoover, n.d.; ASPO, 1976]
A number of studies have been done of the impact of recreational subdivisions on local taxes. [Tillson, et. al. 1972; Thompson and Myrick, 1975; LeJeune, 1972; Moss and...
This study is composed of two parts. Section I deals with
developed moorages and marinas--where they are; what services are
offered in each, and how well the existing supply of permanent moorages
serves the boating public. Section II examines the need for temporary
'harbors of refuge' in the area, what...
This paper is an attempt to summarize our actual knowledge about the marine resources available in the area. It also analyzes the situation of the fishery and the principal aspects involved in a possible plan for an integral fisheries development of the Oceanic region around the islands. This plan could...
A student in the Marine Resource Management program is encouraged to select course work in any school and department at Oregon State University. At the same time, the student selects and develops a personalized scientific orientation from the multi-disciplinary curriculum and faculty in the School of Oceanography. Recommended or required...
The purpose of this report is to present procedures by which applicants and reviewers can calculate initial dilution and describe the zone of initial dilution surrounding the discharge site. These calculations would be required under regulations proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on April 25, 1978 (1) implementing section...
