  • Monitoring a wetland wastewater treatment system at Cannon Beach, Oregon

    Creator:
    Franklin, Kenneth T.
    Abstract:
    Since 1984, the city of Cannon Beach has used a 7 ha, two-cell red alder/twinberry/slough sedge palustrine wetland to treat chlorinated effluent from a four-cell aerated/facultative lagoon system. For three years effluent has met summer wastewater discharge limitations (10 mg/L BOD5 and 10 mg/L TSS). Field research in 1986 concerned...

  • The origin and characteristics of soil mounds and patterned ground in North Central Oregon

    Creator:
    Nelson, Clark A.
    Abstract:
    Sections of the landscape in north central Oregon are dominated by numerous soil mounds surrounded by stone rings. Mounds vary in size and shape depending on slope and mound density. Internal soil mass is free of stones to the bedrock level and is covered by successive layers of volcanic ash....

  • Shoreline response to jetty extension and natural forcing events at Siuslaw Bay, Oregon 1981-1990

    Creator:
    Carstarphen, Camela A.
    Abstract:
    This paper investigated observed morphologic changes in sand accretion and erosion due to sedimentary processes at the jetty entrance to the Siuslaw River near Florence, Oregon. Ten years of data on morphologic change in sand and sediment distribution, collected semiannually between 1981-1990, was used to analyze the nearshore sedimentation processes...

  • The effects of lineage on spatial data quality

    Creator:
    Blair, Brent R.
    Abstract:
    When the Spatial Data Transfer Standard is adopted as a Federal Information Processing Standard, a Quality Report containing sections on lineage, accuracy, logical consistency, and completeness will be required of agencies producing digital cartographic data. This Quality Report diverges significantly from the "U.S. National Map Accuracy Standards", in place for...

  • Multi-Centennial Response of ENSO Under Varying Atmospheric CO2

    Creator:
    Alder, Jay R.
    Abstract:
    The El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) affects millions of people via global teleconnections in the form of drought and torrential rainfall that impact agriculture and food production in many countries. Yet how ENSO will respond to a warming world is uncertain and a greatly debated topic. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate...

  • The feasibility of implementing a campfire closure in a heavily used portion of Eagle Cap Wilderness

    Creator:
    Orr, Taylor
    Abstract:
    Gathering and burning firewood in heavily used subalpine areas contributes to campsite deterioration. Forest Service policy directs wilderness managers to implement the principle of nondegradation. As a result, campfires may be prohibited in areas where fire-related impacts are significant. The Lakes Basin and Ice Lake Travel Zones in the Eagle...
