  • Using a Geographic Information System to identify and reduce uncertainty in hydroelectric-site inventories

    Creator:
    Ellison, Bradley A.
    Abstract:
    Power planning efforts in Oregon require accurate information about hydroelectric potential. Potential uses for Geographic Information Systems (GISs) are being investigated by three Oregon planning agencies. This paper presents a method in which a 616 is used to help identify and reduce uncertainty in previous hydroelectric inventories. Uncertainty with respect...

  • Lower Salmon River Cultural Resource Management Plan

    Creator:
    Sisson, David A.
    Abstract:
    Cultural resource inventories have identified,205 individual sites on public land along the Lower Salmon River, Idaho. These sites represent a rich and diverse record of the human occupation and utilization of the river canyon during the past 10,000 years. Each of these 205 sites contains its own unique record of...

  • A Preliminary Archaeological Predictive Model for the US 30 Transportation Corridor, Portland, Oregon to Astoria, Oregon

    Creator:
    Kachadoorian, Lydia A.
    Abstract:
    This thesis is a preliminary archaeological predictive model and project-planning tool created for the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) as part of a statewide planning effort to enhance the agency's ability to assess the potential impacts of highway projects on archaeological resources. This model addresses the archaeological sensitivity of the...

  • An Exploration of Climate Change, Conservation, and Cooperation, in Three Essays

    Creator:
    Johnson, Steven Mana'oakamai
    Abstract:
    The defining feature of our planet are the oceans, which make up 70% of the Earth’s surface. The importance of the ocean cannot be understated: 50% of oxygen originates from phytoplankton; heat is absorbed and redistributed by ocean currents; and hundreds of millions of people rely on the ocean for...

  • Ku on the Columbia : Hawaiian laborers in the Pacific Northwest Fur Industry

    Creator:
    Rogers, Donnell J.
    Abstract:
    Archaeological investigations can reveal persistent traditions of ethnic groups. Hawaiians were employed in the fur trade of the Columbia River from 1810 through 1850. The Hudson's Bay Company employed them at Ft. Vancouver, Washington from 1825 through the end of this period. Data from the excavations of the servant's village...

  • Geographic variations in water quality and recreational use along the upper Wallowa River and selected tributaries

    Creator:
    McDowell, Theodore R.
    Abstract:
    Physical, chemical and bacterial water quality parameters of the upper Wallowa River were sampled periodically between July 2, 1978 and June 9, 1979 at nine stream and lake sampling sites. Water upstream from Wallowa Lake was typified by low nutrient concentrations ( generally below detectable limits except for nitrates), low....

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Chilling as a factor in crop location with particular reference to deciduous orchards in California

    Creator:
    Aron, Robert Henry
    Abstract:
    Several empirical formulas that may be used to estimate available chilling are presented in this study. Many climatic parameters were considered in the derivation of these formulas. One equation employing only maximum and minimum temperatures had a coefficients of correlation (R) and R² values of .978 and .957, respectively. This...
