Expert systems in computer cartography

Creator:: Ulshoefer, Veit Stefan
Abstract:: The purpose of this paper is to describe the application of expert system concepts to cartographic problems. Expert systems, a subfield of artificial intelligence, are computer programs based on knowledge and symbolic reasoning. The basic principles of expert systems will be explained. Areas of cartography that are most suitable for...

Mobility Push Factors: Modeling the Influences of Natural Disasters on Migration Flows and Adaptation Interventions on Coastal Housing Prices

Creator:: Rose, Stefan A.
Abstract:: Natural disasters are an increasingly costly and frequent occurrence globally and in the United States (IPCC, 2012; IPCC, 2014; Berlemann & Steinhardt, 2017). Discrete disaster events, such as coastal flooding, have been shown to be push factors in temporary and long-term migration (Black et al., 2013). Policy efforts to adapt...

Stream temperature response to partial canopy removal in first and second order streams in the central Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Sullivan, Lawrence
Abstract:: Stream temperature response of first and second order streams to the Blue River Landscape Study (BRLS), an alternative land management strategy based on historic fire regimes, was analyzed in the central Oregon Cascades. The BRLS treatment prescription of a 50% canopy reduction and low intensity burn was applied with a...

Empirical Analysis of Processes Affecting Drainage Flows and Inversions in a Forested Mountain Landscape

Creator:: Malek, Ali
Abstract:: The objective of this dissertation was to understand the physical mechanisms affecting inversion events in a complex forested mountain landscape. This work was motivated by the long-term studies of climate at the Andrews Forest, short-term studies of vertical temperature, light, wind, and moisture gradient in old-growth trees, and interest in...

Biogeography of nonindigenous species: from description to prediction

Creator:: Reusser, Deborah A.
Abstract:: Nonindigenous species are a major threat to the ecological integrity and biodiversity of marine and estuarine ecosystems. To become a successful invader, species must pass through four phases: (1) survive transport, (2) survive release, (3) establish a population, and (4) expand their range. To better understand these processes, an integrated...

Extending the Ecosystem Management Decision Support system to enable data migration

Creator:: Crouse, Kenneth
Abstract:: In this work software is developed to take an ecosystem management tool used by the US Forest Service, the Ecosystem Management Decision Support (EMDS) system, and enhance its utility by capturing the results of an ecosystem assessment and saving them in a format that facilitates importation into other management tools,...

Introducing and validating a high-throughput bud break sensor

Creator:: Kleinknecht, George J.
Abstract:: Bud break is a key adaptive trait that can help us understand how plants respond to a changing climate from the molecular to landscape scale. Despite this, acquisition of bud break data is currently constrained by cost, scale, and a lack of information at the plant scale on the environmental...

Diversity, Generalization, and Specialization in Plant-Pollinator Networks of Montane Meadows, Western Cascades, Oregon

Creator:: Helderop, Edward
Abstract:: Despite the importance of plant-pollinator interactions for ecological communities, few long-term observational studies have been conducted of plant-pollinator networks. Using four years of plant-pollinator interaction data from 18 meadows in the Willamette National Forest, Oregon, this thesis examined how meadow size, the amount of nearby meadow habitat, weather, degree days,...

Comparing intercell distance and cell wall midpoint criteria for discrete global grid systems

Creator:: Gregory, Matthew Jay
Abstract:: Many diverse applications have begun to study processes and patterns at a global scale. To aid in this research, discrete global grid systems (DGGSs) are data models which enable environmental modeling, monitoring and sampling across the earth at a variety of spatial scales. A DGGS can be evaluated on a...

Influence of spatial and temporal factors on plants, pollinators and plant-pollinator interactions in montane meadows of the western Cascades Range

Creator:: Pfeiffer, Vera W.
Abstract:: Montane meadows comprise less than 5% of the landscape of the western Cascades of Oregon, but they provide habitat for diverse species of plants and pollinators. Little is known about plant-pollinator network structure at these sites. This study quantified plant-pollinator interactions over the summer of 2011, based on six observations...
