Using educational tools and integrative experiences via geovisualizations that incorporate spatial thinking, real world science and ocean literacy standards in the classroom : a case study examined

Creator:: Kinzel, Michelle Rene
Abstract:: The field of geography has been transformed in recent years through the use of spatial tools such as geographic information systems (GIS) satellite and acoustic remote sensing, the global positioning system (GPS), Internet mapping and more. Studying geography and earth science in the digital age now requires a sophisticated and...

Comparative analysis of Google Earth versus traditional paper maps in middle school earth science education

Creator:: Edstrom, Jillian Aasta
Abstract:: As GIS becomes more prominent in academic classrooms at all levels of education, the subject of geography and its related disciplines can be approached with a geospatial technology perspective, using new tools and lesson plans. The implementation of Google Earth in classrooms is just one example of this. Research was...

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...

Comparative analysis of winter storm episodes and significant wave events: Newport, Oregon 1982-1990

Creator:: Assail, N. Daniela
Abstract:: Data on ocean wave height and energy have been gathered via microseismometer at Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Oregon since 1971. Data on wave characteristics at Newport for the winter seasons (November through March) from 1982 to 1990 were analyzed to ascertain any relationships with winter storm events. Newport...

Identifying and planning for environmental hazards in Lincoln City, Oregon

Creator:: Anderson, Sterling Marshall
Abstract:: Lincoln City, Oregon is an area of active environmental processes and increasing development. To reduce conflict, a larger data base on environmental hazards was required. Previous studies in the area, remote sensing techniques and. field research were used to accomplish this end. Within Lincoln City, numerous environmental hazards were identified...

Building and sharing spatial metaphors for the Catalogue of Oregon Marine and Coastal Information

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 (COMC1), a coastal reference database, enables the marine and coastal resource community...

Monitoring sand dune processes at the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area : can pre-vegetated conditions be restored?

Creator:: Mitteager, Wendy Ann
Abstract:: The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area is managed by the Siuslaw Forest division of the United States Forest Service (USFS). This area has gradually been overcome by vegetation since the 1950's, originating with the exotic European Beach Grass (Ammophila arenaria). The invasion of this exotic vegetation has resulted in a...

Developing a Geographic Information System county template to support tsunami evacuation route planning on the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Gomez, Kyle R.
Abstract:: Tsunamis pose a major threat to Oregon's coastal communities. Evacuation is the best method to mitigate for tsunamis. Planning for tsunami evacuation is underway in Oregon's coastal communities. Current methodologies use tsunami inundation models and population for evacuation planning. Tsunamis from a Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) earthquake will create more...
