The influence of aging dams and geography on the distribution of dam removals in the United States

Creator:: Ashley, Sara
Abstract:: Over 470 dams have been removed in the United States, and a significant increase in dam removals has occurred since the early 1990s. The aging of dams is often cited as the primary factor influencing removals; as dams surpass their functional life span, safety hazards, economic costs, and environmental concerns...

Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Broad-scale Predictive Models : Influences of Scale

Creator:: Hooper, Samuel
Abstract:: Developing accurate predictive distribution models requires adequately representing relevant spatial and temporal scales, as these scales are ultimately reflective of the relationships between distributions and influential environmental conditions. In this research, we considered both spatial and temporal scale and the influence each has on predicting broad-scale distributions of two disparate...

How well do American viticultural areas correspond with the soil classes in Oregon's northern Willamette Valley? A question for the wine industry

Creator:: Wood, Douglas T.
Abstract:: The specific geography of individual wine growing regions has long been understood to be a significant factor in predicting both a region’s success in producing high quality grapes, and the resulting demand for wines produced from that region's fruit. In the American wine industry, American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) are increasingly...

If you build it, will they come? Evolution towards the application of multi-dimensional GIS to fisheries-oceanography

Creator:: Vance, Tiffany C.
Abstract:: The development of new technologies in science is a balance between existence and use. There are three versions of this duality – something is built and users come, something is built and users don’t come, and, finally, potential users show up but the ballpark has not yet been built. In...

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...

Reallocating resources, rebuilding community : the Klamath Basin agreements and the emergence of adaptive governance

Creator:: Chaffin, Brian C.
Abstract:: The concept of "adaptive governance" represents a spectrum of hybrid approaches to environmental governance employed to guide management of complex social-ecological systems under conditions of high uncertainty. While the concept of adaptive governance has benefited from over a decade of theoretical development, empirical examples of transitions towards adaptive governance are...

Optimizing map projection selection for world maps and web maps

Creator:: Šavrič, Bojan
Abstract:: The selection process for map projections is a mystery to many mapmakers and GIS users. Map projections ought to be selected based on the map’s geographic extent and the required distortion properties, with the goal of minimizing the distortion of the mapped area. Despite some available selection guidelines, the selection...

Recreation potentials of the islands and marshes adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway

Creator:: Burgess, Linda Louise
Abstract:: Few Americans are aware of the tremendous recreation potentials along the banks of the Intracoastal Waterway, mainly because they are unaware of the existence and extent of the toll-free Waterway. This study attempts to categorize and locate some of the attractions that can be explored along the two thousand miles...

Watershed and climate influences on flood frequency distributions in the Willamette River basin

Creator:: Tolle, Timothy Victor
Abstract:: Problem areas identified are: The needs a) to develop curve fitting procedures to estimate flood flow distributions; b) to incorporate precipitation data into frequency analysis procedures; and c) to better define flood potentials for ungauged streams. Closely related to the above, it is noted that variables commonly used to estimate...

Advancements in the Monitoring of Forests and Quantification of Live Aboveground Biomass Using Moderate Resolution Spaceborne Multispectral Imagery and Synthetic Aperture Radar Data

Creator:: Kilbride, John B.
Abstract:: The objective of this dissertation is to enhance the monitoring of forest ecosystems through the utilization of remotely sensed data to address the exigencies posed by the Anthropocene. On a global scale, rising temperatures and fluctuating precipitation patterns have strained forests and produced shifts in natural disturbance regimes. Additionally, the...
