Models relating camping to river terrace characteristics along the Rogue Scenic Waterway

Creator:: Pfister, Robert E.
Abstract:: The degree to which camping is related to selected characteristics of river terraces along the Rogue Waterway, Oregon has been analyzed.

Resilience of large river basins : applying social-ecological systems theory, conflict management, and collaboration on the Mekong and Columbia Basins

Creator:: MacQuarrie, Patrick R.
Abstract:: River basins provide essential services for both humans and ecosystems. Understanding the connections between ecosystems and society and their function has been at the heart of resilience studies and has become an increasing important endeavor in research and practice. In this dissertation, I define basin resilience as a river basin...

Assessing the Role of Snow Cover for Regenerating Forests over Post-wildfire Landscapes in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Wilson, Andy C.
Abstract:: Forested, mountain landscapes in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are changing at an unprecedented rate, largely due to shifts in the regional climate regime. Documented climatic trends across the PNW include increasing wildfire frequency and intensity and an increasingly ephemeral snowpack, especially at moderate elevations. One relationship that has yet to...
