Spatial distribution and the probability of occurrence of beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) in Alaskan Arctic

Creator:: Romeo, Lucy F.
Abstract:: The known distribution of beluga whales ranges from sub-Arctic to Arctic waters where they migrate in pods in response to environmental factors such as the presence of sea ice and prey. This study uses bivariate and multivariate analysis techniques to measure how environmental covariates are associated with the spatial-temporal distribution...

Interactive mapping on the World Wide Web

Creator:: Musser, Karl
Abstract:: The World Wide Web is a promising new media for cartography. It allows the creation of interactive maps that can be accessed by the general public. There is a wide variety both in methods used and in the overall quality of current Web sites. This report reviews the state of...

Determination of geographic information system database characteristics : an application of the information integration theory

Creator:: Brooks, Kris
Abstract:: The development of a geographic information system (GIS) requires the development of large databases of spatially related information. Scale, resolution and the classification of thematic data can vary considerably in terms of the level of detail at which the data are compiled and converted to machine readable form. The level...

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...

The visualization of perspective systems and iconology in Dürer’s cartographic works : an in-depth analysis using multiple methodological approaches

Creator:: Wörz, Adèle Lorraine
Abstract:: This dissertation uses a new methodological approach for an in-depth analysis of three cartographic works. Studies within the discipline of the history of cartography have followed various methodologies throughout the past century. This dissertation argues that in order to come to a more complete understanding of how maps were produced...

Searching for Early Archaeological Sites Along the Central Oregon Coast: A Case Study From Neptune State Park (35LA3), Lane County, Oregon

Creator:: Jenevein, Steven A.
Abstract:: Locating archaeological sites that predate the arrival of modern sea level has been difficult along the Oregon coast. This is in part believed to be the result of geologic processes that have influenced the preservation, distribution, and visibility of sites within the Oregon coastal landscape. Because of these changes, researchers...

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...

Assessing the design of international water supply and hydropower arrangements for managing certain climate change scenarios

Creator:: Zentner, Matthew A.
Abstract:: Increased variability of rainfall and flow from climate change has the potential to stress existing transboundary water sharing agreements and make meeting the needs of all riparians difficult. Water treaties have been theorized as valuable tools for mitigating conflict in times of climate stress, but the relationship between the design...

The geomorphic significance of log steps in forest streams of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Marston, Richard A.
Abstract:: A log step develops when large woody debris extends across the active channel, creating a change in the water surface elevation as the stream spills over the log step. By forming a series of vertical falls, log steps reduce the amount of potential energy available for conversion to kinetic energy...

Spatial expressions of farm size changes in the Polk and Linn counties of Oregon

Creator:: Van Otten, George A.
Abstract:: The spatial organization of farm units in Polk and Linn counties in the mid-Willamette Valley has undergone significant change over the past 30 years. Whereas most study areas operations in the 1930's and 1940's consisted of small family owned farms with contiguous land bases, present mid-Willamette Valley units vary considerably...
