Vulnerability and adaptation of Pacific Northwest shellfisheries to ocean acidification

Creator:: Katz, Brian G.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to understand the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of shellfish stakeholders in the Pacific Northwest who are adapting to ocean acidification (OA). This study developed a geovisualization tool of existing environmental data for assessing species-specific risk profiles to OA (based on their exposure and sensitivity),...

Archaeological Investigations at the Seal Rock Site, 35LNC14 : A Late Prehistoric Shell Midden Located on the Central Oregon Coast

Creator:: Clark, Linda Ann
Abstract:: Seal Rock (35LNC14) is a late prehistoric shell midden site located on the central Oregon coast. Information derived from the faunal remains, radiocarbon dates, and location and size of the midden deposits suggest the site represents a late littoral stage of cultural adaptation. Analyses of lithic artifacts, and bone and...

Exploring pathways to adaptive collaborative management : a multi-case study of the National Riparian Service Team's place-based riparian assistance

Creator:: Smedstad, Jill A.
Abstract:: Adaptive collaborative (co-) management has received increased recognition as a novel approach to environmental governance that combines the dynamic learning features of adaptive management with the linking and network features of collaborative management. This approach is concerned with fostering sustainable livelihoods and ecological sustainability in the face of uncertainty and...

Federal consistency and the Coastal Zone Management Act: the 1990 amendments and their affect on Alaska

Creator:: Easter, David
Abstract:: Under the Coastal Zone Management Act, participating states were given two incentives to design programs for managing their coastal resources. One of these incentives was "federal consistency" which allowed states to review either direct federal actions or projects involving federal licenses, permits, or funding for consistency with the state coastal...

Remote sensing methodology for bioenvironmental surveillance in the vicinity of the Boardman Coal-Fired Power Plant, Oregon

Creator:: Denkers, D. Scott
Abstract:: In 1979, the Geographic Applications Laboratory of the Department of Geography, Oregon State University, was retained by the Portland General Electric Company to form and supervise a program to monitor the bioenvironment in the vicinity of the Boardman Coal-Fired Power plant. This partially fulfills requirements of the Department of Energy...

Interacting effects of climate, forest dynamics, landforms, and river regulation on streamflow trends since 1950 : examples from the Willamette Basin and forested headwater sites in the US

Creator:: Hatcher, Kendra L.
Abstract:: Streamflow patterns are a result of the interaction of many factors, including climate, vegetation, geology, and topography. Analyses indicate that streamflow patterns have changed around the United States over the past century, raising questions about the possible role of climate variability as a driver of water yield. This thesis examines...

Assessing the Role of Snow Cover for Regenerating Forests over Post-wildfire Landscapes in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Wilson, Andy C.
Abstract:: Forested, mountain landscapes in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are changing at an unprecedented rate, largely due to shifts in the regional climate regime. Documented climatic trends across the PNW include increasing wildfire frequency and intensity and an increasingly ephemeral snowpack, especially at moderate elevations. One relationship that has yet to...

Biophysical spectral regionalization of the Pacific Northwest using Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer Imagery

Creator:: Greninger, Jon F.
Abstract:: Satellite imagery has become an efficient and time effective tool that may aid in the development of regional terrestrial and aquatic resource management schemes. A methodology utilizing National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) imagery, 1.1 kilometer spatial resolution at nadir, was developed for delineating...

Understanding Patterns of Timber Harvest and their Drivers : A Quantitative Assessment of Forest Governance in the Western Cascades of Oregon

Creator:: Harris, Tyler C.
Abstract:: Effective forest governance is central to the efficient, sustainable, and equitable use of forest resources, yet challenges in assessing forest governance impede efforts to improve it. Contemporary forest governance involves decisions by multiple stakeholders across multiple sectors of economy and society, from local to global scales – making forest governance...

Resource conflicts and expansion opportunities of ski areas in Oregon and Washington

Creator:: Gilbert, Kirby Wayne
Abstract:: The ski areas of Oregon and Washington are similar in many [respects], especially in that they are predominately local day areas and are located on United States Forest Service lands. The demand for more ski facilities is apparent yet the number of new areas opening has decreased over the years....
