Sediment accumulation within weathering pits on Dance Hall Rock, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Utah

Creator:: Taddie, Marissa C.
Abstract:: The purpose of this paper was to examine if the depth and degree of circularity of weathering pits affects the accumulation of sediment. Thirty pits were surveyed over two one-week periods on Dance Hall Rock. Weathering pits were measured to determine their maximum width, minimum width, vertical depth, and depth...

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...

Age structure, developmental pathways, and fire regime characterization of Douglas-fir/western hemlock forests in the central western Cascades of Oregon

Creator:: Tepley, Alan J.
Abstract:: Descriptions of the fire regime in the Douglas-fir/western hemlock region of the Pacific Northwest traditionally have emphasized infrequent, predominantly stand-replacement fires and an associated linear pathway of stand development, where all stands proceed along a common pathway until reset by the next fire. Although such a description may apply in...

The evolution of Mexican forest policy and its influence upon forest resources

Creator:: Crocker, Marvin D., 1934-
Abstract:: During the Colonial Period, in Mexico there was no rational forest development policy and, as a result, forest resources were squandered and to a considerable extent destroyed. During the Nineteenth Century, a rational forest policy began to be promoted, but in the end, it was translated into a policy of...

Boring to the Core: The Archaeology, History, and Dendrochronology of a Railroad Logging Camp, Ladee Flat, Clackamas County, Oregon

Creator:: Paullin, Pamela K.
Abstract:: Although the timber industry was the major economic force in the lives of several generations of Oregon families, very little archaeological investigation has been done on the dozens of abandoned logging camps that are scattered throughout the forests of the Pacific Northwest. This project focuses on Camp 1, a 1920s...

Transboundary groundwater and international law: past practices and current implications

Creator:: Matsumoto, Kyoko
Abstract:: Despite their significance, physical interactions between surface and groundwater have largely been ignored in international water law. While surface water has been given considerable attention as a transboundary natural resource, groundwater has not received the same recognition. International legal doctrines regarding water, such as the 1997 United Nations Convention on...

Historical landscape reconstruction and perceptual geography of Mount Hood, Oregon

Creator:: Belgam, Daniel R.
Abstract:: This research seeks to understand the influences of perception on land use around the Mount Hood area of Oregon and evaluate how it has evolved over the past 4,000 years. The study addresses three specific questions: 1) How has the study area evolved over time into the modern landscape? 2)...

Forest Fire Effects on Radiative and Turbulent Fluxes over Snow : Implications for Snow Hydrology

Creator:: Gleason, Kelly E.
Abstract:: As a result of a warming climate, subsequent declining snowpack, and a century of fire suppression, forest fires are increasing across the western United States. However, we still do not fully understand how forest fire effects snowpack energy balance, nor the volume and availability of snow melt and associated water...

Change detection of land cover in a meadow landscape : the“Ranches” meadow, Silver Falls State Park, Oregon

Creator:: Anderson, Carl G.
Abstract:: From a landscape ecology perspective, meadows are often seen as landscapes in transition. Succession and change in meadows may be investigated by considering the physical and anthropogenic factors that influence the landscape through time. What is often unknown is how changes occur and how physical and anthropogenic factors contribute to...

Protected-area effectiveness near dynamic colonization zones : Forest clearance in and around Amboró National Park, Bolivia

Creator:: Bucklin, David N.
Abstract:: Protected natural areas are important reserves for biodiversity, and in the tropics, often play a role in deterring deforestation. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of a protected-area with a two-tiered management regime in Bolivia, Amboró National Park and Integrated Management Natural Area (IMNA), in deterring clearance of forest. Four satellite...
