Risky business : evaluating the vulnerability and impacts from simulated oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico

Creator:: Nelson, Jake R.
Abstract:: Exploration and production of oil in the Gulf of Mexico has seen an astonishing increase since the first well was drilled in 1936. Much of the current exploration is occurring in waters greater than 5000 feet. The largest and most unprecedented oil spill in the United States occurred on April...

Modeling the Environmental Protection Agency's level IV ecoregions within the Klamath Mountains of southern Oregon and northern California

Creator:: Zanger, Christopher
Abstract:: Ecoregions are regions of relative homogeneity with respect to specific ecosystem variables (Bailey 1976; Omernik 1995). There has been an increasing awareness that effective management of environmental resources must be undertaken with an ecosystem perspective (Omernik, 1995). Ecoregions serve as a spatial framework for assessing, managing, and monitoring ecosystems that...

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,...

“We’re not masters of anything” : personal values and masculinities in agricultural decision making

Creator:: Cameron, Olivia Z.
Abstract:: The agricultural sector is one of the largest contributors to global climate change but is also one of the most vulnerable to its impacts. Farmers are at increasing risk of livelihood loss, which produces risks for their physical and emotional wellbeing on a global scale. Swift and effective adaptation is...

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...

Optimizing Reservoir Operations to Adapt to 21st Century Expectations of Climate and Social Change in the Willamette River Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Moore, Kathleen M.
Abstract:: Reservoir systems in the western US are managed to serve two main competing purposes: to reduce flooding during the winter and spring, and to provide water supply for multiple uses during the summer. Because the storage capacity of a reservoir cannot be used for both flood damage reduction and water...

Increasing the usefulness of high-altitude color infrared photography for the inventory, monitoring, and management of western wildland resources

Creator:: Colwell, Robert R.
Abstract:: This report describes the latest in a series of studies sponsored by the Nationwide Forestry Applications Program. Each such study has attempted to enhance the interpretability of remotely-sensed imagery. In this case the image type of specific interest is high-altitude color infrared (CIR) photography. This is a resource management tool...

Flow From Flexibility : Identifying Opportunities For Streamflow Restoration in a Transboundary Municipal Watershed Through Water Budgeting

Creator:: Pierson, Jessica S.
Abstract:: Municipal watersheds attempt to balance growing and conflicting demands for water for human use and for ecosystems. The Mill Creek basin, a 295 km2 basin in southeast Washington, exemplifies these conflicts. Since the late 1800s, the City of Walla Walla has withdrawn water from Mill Creek for municipal use. However,...

The problems and issues of implementing Oregon's minimum stream flow program

Creator:: Stafford, Bret William
Abstract:: Oregon's minimum stream flow program attempts to preserve adequate flows of water for the instream needs of aquatic life and pollution abatement. Conflicts with consumptive uses of water have indicated that improvements are needed in the program. The conflicts are explored and specific improvements suggested.
