Monitoring individual particle transport in a gravel bedded stream using a passive radio transponder system, Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Childers, Elayne S.
Abstract:: Gathering empirical data on the factors and processes affecting bedload transport in the field is difficult. This project conducted during the winter of 1996 field tested a new passive method of positively tracking individual particle movement. The project was conducted in Oak Creek, a gravel bedded stream, located in Corvallis,...

Predicting sediment delivery from small catchments in the Western Cascades of Oregon using the U.S.F.S. disturbed Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model

Creator:: Geren, Barbara A.
Abstract:: The U.S. Forest Service on the Willamette National Forest currently employs the “Disturbed Water Erosion Prediction Project” (WEPP) model to determine potential suspended sediment delivery from timber harvests or other treatment scenarios given user-defined hillslope parameters. At the time of this study there was no known calibration or testing of...

Change detection of land cover in a meadow landscape : the“Ranches” meadow, Silver Falls State Park, Oregon

Creator:: Anderson, Carl G.
Abstract:: From a landscape ecology perspective, meadows are often seen as landscapes in transition. Succession and change in meadows may be investigated by considering the physical and anthropogenic factors that influence the landscape through time. What is often unknown is how changes occur and how physical and anthropogenic factors contribute to...

Developing a plan for the national coordination of geospatial technology education : a community college perspective

Creator:: Sullivan, Deidre E.
Abstract:: Geospatial technology is a rapidly growing and changing field. The term geospatial technology (GST) refers to geographical information systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GPS), and remote sensing (RS), all emerging technologies that assist the user in the collection, analysis, and interpretation of spatial data. The speed at which new fields...

Building and sharing spatial metaphors for thecatalogue of Oregon Marine and Coastal Information (COMCI)

Creator:: Cooper, Colin A.
Abstract:: Spatialization is an innovative way to expand searching capabilities for a marine/coastal reference database by using a metaphorical map framework to establish a sense of place for non-spatial information. Spatializing the Catalogue of Oregon Marine and Coastal Information (COMCI), a coastal reference database, enables the marine and coastal resource community...

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...

Modeling the Environmental Protection Agency's level IV ecoregions within the Klamath Mountains of Southern Oregon and Northern California : a Geographic Information System approach

Creator:: Zanger, Christopher
Abstract:: Ecoregions are regions of relative homogeneity with respect to specific ecosystem variables (Bailey 1976; Omernik 1995). There has been an increasing awareness that effective management of environmental resources must be undertaken with an ecosystem perspective (Omernik, 1995). Ecoregions serve as a spatial framework for assessing, managing, and monitoring ecosystems that...

Using an internet map server and coastal remote sensing for education

Creator:: Bower, Peter A.
Abstract:: An Internet Map Server (IMS) web site was constructed with the goal of helping middle- through high-school students learn about ocean processes. This IMS was developed in conjunction with the activities of the Science & Math Investigative Learning Experience (SMILE) program, and for eventual use with the Oregon Coastal Atlas,...

Comparison of MODIS binary and fractional snow cover mapping techniques in the Himalayan Region, Nepal

Creator:: Tuladhar, Preeti
Abstract:: Satellite remote sensing is an effective tool for mapping snow covered area. However, complex terrain and heterogeneous land cover, due to vegetation and patchy snow cover, present challenges to snow cover mapping. This research compares two techniques for mapping snow covered area: binary and enhanced fractional snow cover mapping techniques....

Do vigorous young forests reduce streamflow? Results from up to 54 years of streamflow records in eight paired-watershed experiments in the H. J. Andrews and South Umpqua Experimental Forests

Creator:: Perry, Timothy D.
Abstract:: This study quantified the magnitude and timing of summer streamflow deficits in paired-watershed experiments in the Cascade Range of Oregon where mature and old-growth conifer forests were subjected to clearcutting, patch cutting, and overstory thinning treatments in the 1960s and 1970s. Hydrologic effects of clearcutting, small-patch cutting, and overstory thinning...
