The use of riparian open space as an alternative to structural flood control measures in the United States

Creator:: Olson, Thomas
Abstract:: Annual flood damages continue to rise in the United States in spite of massive investments in flood control structures since 1936. These increased losses can be attributed, in part, to the inherent Limitations in scope and nature of traditional "structural" approaches to flood control. Acquisition of flood plain lands is...

A mathematical transformation of multi-angular remote sensing data for the study of vegetation change

Creator:: Friedel, Robert G.
Abstract:: Vegetation change is an important factor affecting the global carbon cycle, land-atmosphere interaction, and terrestrial ecology. The study of vegetation change on a global scale can be used to evaluate the impact of global climate change on terrestrial ecosystems. Satellite remote sensing can monitor vegetation change at the global scale,...

Mapping Wildlife-Relevant Snow Properties in Arctic-Boreal North America; Novel Modelling, Remote-Sensing, and Ground Observation Approaches

Creator:: Cosgrove, Christopher Liam
Abstract:: Arctic-boreal regions are exhibiting the symptoms of profound ecological shifts as they experience pronounced warming. Wildlife in high-latitudes are one such harbinger of change, and their populations are undergoing range-shifts, declines, and extinctions in response to their rapidly altering habitats. As the circumpolar and boreal north is snow-covered for up...

Upper Deschutes River Basin Prehistory: A Preliminary Examination of Flaked Stone Tools and Debitage

Creator:: Taggart, Michael W.
Abstract:: The prehistory of Central Oregon is explored through the examination of six archaeological sites and two isolated finds from the Upper Deschutes River Basin. Inquiry focuses on the land use, mobility, technological organization, and raw material procurement of the aboriginal inhabitants of the area. Archaeological data presented here are augmented...

A survey and evaluation of land resource classification systems in the United States

Creator:: Aldrich, Frank T.
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the methods and criteria developed for rating actual and potential agricultural land in the United States. It is motivated by the apparent increasing competition for quality space created by the expanding population, and by the belief that land rating and classification are...

The impacts of local community use of Mount Elgon Forest in Uganda

Creator:: Alupo, Judith
Abstract:: Understanding the impacts with uncontrolled exploitation of forest resources is crucial for the proper management of Mt. Elgon forest reserve. The types and frequency of tree cutting; their spatial variation with distance from the Mt. Elgon National Park boundary; their distribution among girth classes and species were determined from 15...

Historic attempts to cope with level variability of Great Salt Lake, Utah: a case study in social and environmental relationships

Creator:: Richards, Paul C.
Abstract:: The Great Salt Lake is typical of Great Basin and other arid land saline lakes in morphological and chemical characteristics. As with other terminal lakes, the level of Great Salt Lake is determined by the variable weather patterns that are typical of arid and semi-arid regions. Because of it's flat,...

Interacting effects of climate, forest dynamics, landforms, and river regulation on streamflow trends since 1950 : examples from the Willamette Basin and forested headwater sites in the US

Creator:: Hatcher, Kendra L.
Abstract:: Streamflow patterns are a result of the interaction of many factors, including climate, vegetation, geology, and topography. Analyses indicate that streamflow patterns have changed around the United States over the past century, raising questions about the possible role of climate variability as a driver of water yield. This thesis examines...
