Agricultural resources and socio-economic affluence of Oregon counties

Creator:: Benson, Barry Ralph
Abstract:: Limited measures of socio-economic affluence among some Oregon counties reflect deficiency in the availability and development of agricultural resources. Seventeen indicators qualify county census data into comparable relative values. Rank correlation analysis of the relationship between agricultural resources and socio-economic affluence demonstrates a significant correlation coefficient at the 95 percent...

Identification of irrigation practices using photographic and optical-mechanical scanning remote sensing techniques

Creator:: Naim, Shamim
Abstract:: Irrigation is essential for profitable agriculture in the western United States. It is the largest consumer of water and power in Oregon. Conflicting uses of water and power and their scarcity demands judicious planning for allocation of these resources. Creditable baseline data are not only needed for irrigated crop acreages,...

An evaluation of the Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS-1) multispectral scanner as a tool for the determination of lacustrine trophic state

Creator:: Boland, Dale H. P.
Abstract:: This study evaluates the Earth Resources Technology Satellite- One (ERTS-1) multispectral scanner (MSS) as a means of predicting lacustrine trophic state and the magnitude of selected trophic state indicators. Numerical classificatory methods are employed to ascertain the trophic character of 100 lakes in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and New York using...

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....

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...

Meteorological conditions associated with rain-related periglacial debris flows on Mount Hood, Oregon and Mount Rainier, Washington

Creator:: Parker, Lauren E.
Abstract:: In November of 2006 an intense rainstorm of tropical origin, known colloquially as the "Pineapple Express," inundated the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, initiating numerous periglacial debris flows on several of the stratovolcanoes in the Cascade Range of Oregon and Washington. These debris flows rapidly aggrade channels, deposit...

Thornthwaite's moisture index as a measure of the intensity to which harvested cropland is devoted to corn under natural climatic conditions

Creator:: Hall, Robert Newell
Abstract:: Moisture has long been identified as one of the major limiting factors in the distribution of agricultural land use practices. However, the importance of any environmental element can only be determined by considering how it is affected by its relationship with other elements of the environment. Thornthwaite's moisture index attempts...

Improving forest resources in Nepal

Creator:: Ross, Marc Ellis
Abstract:: Deforestation and accompanying environmental deterioration is a threat to the economic growth and to the survival of the Himalayan kingdom of Nepal . There is need for a comprehensive forest rehabilitation program tailored to the different conditions of the Terai plain, Middle Hills and the Highland Himalaya regions of the...

The impact of land management decisions on dune processes on the Clatsop Plains: a case study of Camp Rilea, Oregon

Creator:: Flitcroft, Rebecca L.
Abstract:: This project explores the impact of land use decisions on dune processes at the Oregon National Guard's Camp Rilea. located on the north coast of Oregon. It used a combined analysis of historical and modern data sources to assess the impact of land use practices. Historical sources including the journals...

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...
