Pre-conference workshop on geographic information systems

Creator:: Webster, Janet G.
Abstract:: GIS is a buzzword these days at marine labs, field stations, university campuses and government agencies. The design and implementation of a GIS involves the use and organziation of data in ways that are familiar to library and information center staffs. Librarians should know what they are and how they...

Benefits of Geographic Information Systems for State and Regional Ocean Management

Creator:: Sowers, Derek C.
Abstract:: The current and potential benefits of using geographic information systems (GIS) to support state-level and regional-scale ocean management in the United States are evaluated. Specifically, the role of GIS in facilitating improved integration of management strategies for a variety of resource use issues across multiple management jurisdictions is examined, along...

Native wetland, riparian, and upland plant communities and their biota in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Titus, John H., Christy, John A., VanderSchaaf, Dick, Kagan, James S., and Alverson, Edward R.
Abstract:: As part of the Willamette Basin Geographic Initiative Program, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funded The Nature Conservancy of Oregon to inventory, classify, and map native wetland and riparian plant communities and their threatened biota in the Willamette Valley. Between October 1994 and September 1996, we evaluated 172 wetland and...

Applications of multi-media cartography in Klamath Basin restoration

Creator:: Wayne, Christopher
Abstract:: The Klamath Basin of Oregon and California has been the scene of extensive ecosystem restoration activities in recent years. The need for restoration is based on changes in land use that have adversely affected water quality and wildlife habitat. Many different kinds of restoration projects are occurring at many different...

Geographic Information System (GIS) resource inventories: the Marys River Project

Creator:: Chapman, Shannen S.
Abstract:: The Greenbelt Land Trust (GLT) (a grass-roots conservation group in Oregon) is interested in a conservation plan for the Marys River Corridor. To facilitate this effort, a resource inventory was required and a Geographic Information System (GIS) data base used to compile the inventory (called the Marys River Project (MRP))....

Production of an animated cartography sample for teaching and instruction, with musings on the nature and usefulness of animated maps

Creator:: Whaley, Kristine A.
Abstract:: Animated cartography is still a new field. It has been experimented with for years, but it has not gained general usage except partially in use by the news media. Nevertheless, certain subjects cry out for displaying the patterns of movement over time, such as historical patterns of migration and settlement,...

Geographic Information System model rating old-growth stand significance on the Olympic National Forest

Creator:: Wettengel, William M.
Abstract:: With increased attention being focused on the remaining old-growth forest resource in the Pacific Northwest a way to ecologically rate forest stands is needed to assist the U.S. Forest Service in its management decisions. A Geographic Information System (GIS) model was developed to rate old-growth stands in a 49,500 acre...

Identifying potential wetland restoration sites for estuary-wide restoration planning in Oregon : A pilot project in the Coos Estuary

Creator:: Fuss, J. David
Abstract:: Oregon's estuaries have been significantly altered by human activity, so that many former tidal wetlands no longer provide the functions, such as fish and wildlife habitat, erosion protection from storms, and water quality maintenance, that preserve the integrity of estuarine ecosystems. Oregon has been a leader in wetland protection and...
