As part of the U. S. GLOBEC NorthEast Pacific Program we made repeated seasonal hydrographic surveys in the northern California Current system (Figure 1) between July 1997 and September 2003. These surveys included early spring sampling along a pair of hydrographic sections, one north (at 44.6ºN) and one south (at...
The Crook County Wildfire Protection Plan documents the community planning process in Crook County and includes the following components:
-- Background information on the Community Wildfire Protection Plan purpose and process, community profile information and fire behavior in Crook County;
-- Risk assessment of communities and critical infrastructure;
-- Recommendations...
The Grant County CWPP is the result of a countywide effort initiated to reduce forest fire risk to citizens, the environment, and quality of life within Grant County. Citizens, fire districts, county staff or elected officials, and agency representatives have worked together to create a plan that would be successful...
The mission of the Greater La Pine Community Wildfire Protection Plan is to protect against loss of life, property and natural resources as the result of wildland fire. This CWPP outlines priorities, strategies and action plans for fuels reduction treatments in the wildland urban interface. It also addresses special areas...
In March of 2005, Jefferson County decided to complete a Community Wildfire Protection Plan. The CWPP for Jefferson County covers the entire county except for the area covered by the Greater Sisters Country CWPP in the southwest corner of Jefferson County. It also includes that portion of Crooked River Ranch...
The Clackamas CWPP is a consolidated reference documenting wildfire hazards, prevention and response efforts, and resource sharing information for all participating local, state and federal fire agencies. It improves upon historical fire planning efforts by providing a more localized and accurate approach for determining wildfire hazards and implementing best practices...
Oregon’s Protection from Fire Program is the largest program within the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF). The program provides wildfire protection on about 15.8 million acres of mostly privately-owned Oregon forestland. Private and state interests in protecting Oregon forests from fire have been intertwined since the early 1900s when ODF...

I propose that the film represents consumer culture as a totalizing system. This representation is evident in the setting of the film and in the Narrator's attempt to escape from...
The data set presented here includes the discrete depth profile data and time series data
from the vertical profiling cruises carried out as a portion of the “Coastal Ocean Advances in Shelf Transport” (COAST) project. The primary purpose for collection of this data set was to calibrate the optical parameters...
The College of Forestry Integrated Research Project (CFIRP) is an on-going experiment in the eastern Coast Range foothills of western Oregon. Started in 1989, a team of scientists, resource managers, and students at Oregon State University designed and implemented silvicultural alternatives to clearcutting. These silvicultural practices aimed to create and...
In an initial research proposal of December 1969, the scientists of the Coniferous Forest Biome (CFB), an ecosystem study centered in the Pacific Northwest and part of the larger International Biological Programme (IBP), expressed optimism that computer simulations and systems modeling could transform empirical knowledge of the carbon, water, and...
