Infant mortality and socio-economic conditions in the United States

Creator:: Vanselow, Glenn William
Abstract:: The relationships between infant mortality and four socio-economic factors were determined for the United States using visual comparisons of isopleth maps and linear regression analysis. The four socioeconomic factors were per capita income, the percent of the population that is Negro, the per cent of the population that has a...

Public health hazards as a constraint on oyster production in the contiguous United States

Creator:: Rugger, Cynthia S.
Abstract:: Oyster production in the United States has declined from a leading nineteenth century fishery to a minor, failing industry. Oystermen must now depend on a diminished resource in an environment of competing and conflicting coastal uses. One of the most important influences on the industry's welfare is the sanitation of...

A survey and evaluation of land resource classification systems in the United States

Creator:: Aldrich, Frank T.
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the methods and criteria developed for rating actual and potential agricultural land in the United States. It is motivated by the apparent increasing competition for quality space created by the expanding population, and by the belief that land rating and classification are...

Post-fire vegetation response to snow in the western United States

Creator:: Blauvelt, Katie
Abstract:: The western United States is experiencing significant changes in wildfire and snow regimes as a result of warming temperatures. An amplification of wildfire activity and reduction in snow water equivalent, snow covered area, and earlier spring snowmelt are documented trends that are projected to continue into the future. With an...

The influence of aging dams and geography on the distribution of dam removals in the United States

Creator:: Ashley, Sara
Abstract:: Over 470 dams have been removed in the United States, and a significant increase in dam removals has occurred since the early 1990s. The aging of dams is often cited as the primary factor influencing removals; as dams surpass their functional life span, safety hazards, economic costs, and environmental concerns...

Spatial patterns of anomalous runoff to precipitation ratios for watersheds within the contiguous United States arranged by level one ecoregions

Creator:: Pittman, Jason W.
Abstract:: Mean annual runoff to precipitation (R/P) ratios were generated for 966 watersheds within the contiguous United States. The watersheds were plotted using Arc View GIS and used as part of an overlay analysis with Level 1 U.S. ecoregions. The ratios were statistically evaluated to determine anomalous R/P conditions within the...

The use of riparian open space as an alternative to structural flood control measures in the United States

Creator:: Olson, Thomas
Abstract:: Annual flood damages continue to rise in the United States in spite of massive investments in flood control structures since 1936. These increased losses can be attributed, in part, to the inherent Limitations in scope and nature of traditional "structural" approaches to flood control. Acquisition of flood plain lands is...

Post-Aggregate Aggregation : A Geographic Evaluation of Enhancement Reclamation at Aggregate Mines in the Western United States

Creator:: Morrison, Elizabeth A.
Abstract:: The aggregate industry is responsible for the extraction and production of crushed stone, sand, and gravel— the literal building blocks of our society. Across the U.S. there are tens of thousands of quarries and sand and gravel pits, the majority of which are left abandoned or with minimal reclamation efforts....

A point-data analysis of the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) and its relationship to seasonal precipitation in the northwest United States

Creator:: Worley, Timothy J.
Abstract:: El Niflo and La Nifia are oceanographic and atmospheric phenomena that have been catalogued for well over a centuly. In El Nifio years, Peru's otherwise thy west coast is subjected to torrential rainfall. Higher ocean temperatures off the coast are deemed the culprit. Attempts to quantify this began in the...

Developing "humane" interfaces to data clearinghouses for improving the delivery of spatial information to marine resource managers

Creator:: Walsh, Kuuipo
Abstract:: Web geographic information systems (GISs) and the Internet are now providing the connectivity necessary to support large-scale data access by a wide variety of users, including not just scientific researchers, but also policy-makers and marine resource managers. However, connectivity alone cannot ensure that those who need natural resource information will...
