Agricultural resources and socio-economic affluence of Oregon counties

Creator:: Benson, Barry Ralph
Abstract:: Limited measures of socio-economic affluence among some Oregon counties reflect deficiency in the availability and development of agricultural resources. Seventeen indicators qualify county census data into comparable relative values. Rank correlation analysis of the relationship between agricultural resources and socio-economic affluence demonstrates a significant correlation coefficient at the 95 percent...

Identification of irrigation practices using photographic and optical-mechanical scanning remote sensing techniques

Creator:: Naim, Shamim
Abstract:: Irrigation is essential for profitable agriculture in the western United States. It is the largest consumer of water and power in Oregon. Conflicting uses of water and power and their scarcity demands judicious planning for allocation of these resources. Creditable baseline data are not only needed for irrigated crop acreages,...

Off-shore oil exploration in the Arctic Ocean a comparative analysis of newspaper information and public attitude

Creator:: Tombropoulos, Charles B.
Abstract:: This research questions the effectiveness of newspapers as a vehicle of environmental information by determining whether the public attitude in Alaska towards off-shore oil exploration was consistent with that expressed in the local newspapers. All newspaper articles about off-shore oil exploration published in Alaska between 1980 and May 1987 were...

Automated web-based analysis and visualization of spatiotemporal data

Creator:: Keon, Dylan B.
Abstract:: Most data are associated with a place, and many are also associated with a moment in time, a time interval, or another linked temporal component. Spatiotemporal data (i.e., data with elements of both space and time) can be used to assess movement or change over time in a particular location,...

Advancements in the Monitoring of Forests and Quantification of Live Aboveground Biomass Using Moderate Resolution Spaceborne Multispectral Imagery and Synthetic Aperture Radar Data

Creator:: Kilbride, John B.
Abstract:: The objective of this dissertation is to enhance the monitoring of forest ecosystems through the utilization of remotely sensed data to address the exigencies posed by the Anthropocene. On a global scale, rising temperatures and fluctuating precipitation patterns have strained forests and produced shifts in natural disturbance regimes. Additionally, the...

The effectiveness of the Special Farm Use Assessment Program in Jefferson County, Oregon - a comparative study

Creator:: Hunter, Steven Robert
Abstract:: Oregon's Special Farm Use Assessment program is investigated in this paper for its effectiveness in preserving farmland from urban sprawl. Basic research for this study was conducted in Jefferson County, a rural central Oregon county. Data from a similar study conducted in Washington County, an urbanizing northern Willamette Valley county,...

Meteorological conditions associated with rain-related periglacial debris flows on Mount Hood, Oregon and Mount Rainier, Washington

Creator:: Parker, Lauren E.
Abstract:: In November of 2006 an intense rainstorm of tropical origin, known colloquially as the "Pineapple Express," inundated the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, initiating numerous periglacial debris flows on several of the stratovolcanoes in the Cascade Range of Oregon and Washington. These debris flows rapidly aggrade channels, deposit...

Thornthwaite's moisture index as a measure of the intensity to which harvested cropland is devoted to corn under natural climatic conditions

Creator:: Hall, Robert Newell
Abstract:: Moisture has long been identified as one of the major limiting factors in the distribution of agricultural land use practices. However, the importance of any environmental element can only be determined by considering how it is affected by its relationship with other elements of the environment. Thornthwaite's moisture index attempts...

Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Broad-scale Predictive Models : Influences of Scale

Creator:: Hooper, Samuel
Abstract:: Developing accurate predictive distribution models requires adequately representing relevant spatial and temporal scales, as these scales are ultimately reflective of the relationships between distributions and influential environmental conditions. In this research, we considered both spatial and temporal scale and the influence each has on predicting broad-scale distributions of two disparate...

Cirque orientation in the major highlands of Oregon

Creator:: McEwan, Duncan
Abstract:: Cirque aspects and elevations in the major highlands of Oregon indicate a pattern of climate during the Pleistocene similar to that of today. Mean cirque floor elevation increases toward the drier interior. Concentrations of cirques facing northeast, and steep gradients of cirque floor trend surfaces to the southwest, indicate a...
