The feasibility of applying air photo interpretation to the locating, analyzing and development of wind power sites

Creator:: Maule, Peter Anthony
Abstract:: If wind power is to become a viable energy alternative, a rapid and reliable cost effective methodology must be established, whereby large areas can be surveyed for windy sites and those sites can be evaluated. Based primarily on locating wind deformed vegetation, this paper establishes the feasibility of using air...

Videographic and GPS techniques for monitoring active glacial surge: Bering Glacier, Alaska

Creator:: Thatcher, P. Anthony
Abstract:: Aerial videography in combination with GPS were used to monitor the active surge of Alaska's Bering Glacier. The large aerial extent of the study area and the unpredictable weather in coastal Alaska required innovative techniques to be used in order to successfully monitor the surge environment. A portable aerial videographic...

The measurement of scenic preferences: a case study in Alaska

Creator:: Karle, David Anthony
Abstract:: The semantic differential technique was used to quantify four interest groups' perceptions of twenty-six Alaskan scenes. The scenes represented both panoramic views and views of Mount McKinley from different sites in southcentral Alaska. The perceptions were measured on six semantic scales ("ugly-beautiful", "dislike-like", "unpleasantpleasant", "unstimulating-stimulating", "level-mountainous", and 'monotonous-varied"), and the...

Identifying and planning for environmental hazards in Lincoln City, Oregon

Creator:: Anderson, Sterling Marshall
Abstract:: Lincoln City, Oregon is an area of active environmental processes and increasing development. To reduce conflict, a larger data base on environmental hazards was required. Previous studies in the area, remote sensing techniques and. field research were used to accomplish this end. Within Lincoln City, numerous environmental hazards were identified...

The marine geomorphology of American Samoa : shapes and distributions of deep sea volcanics

Creator:: Roberts, Jed T.
Abstract:: The geologic processes at work in American Samoa have long been a point of scientific debate. Of its numerous volcanic formations, few breach sea level, leaving an enormous proportion of their mass unavailable to traditional observation. This study aims to describe the deep sea geomorphology of American Samoa through compilation,...

A point-data analysis of the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) and its relationship to seasonal precipitation in the northwest United States

Creator:: Worley, Timothy J.
Abstract:: El Niflo and La Nifia are oceanographic and atmospheric phenomena that have been catalogued for well over a centuly. In El Nifio years, Peru's otherwise thy west coast is subjected to torrential rainfall. Higher ocean temperatures off the coast are deemed the culprit. Attempts to quantify this began in the...

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...

Small mammal assemblages in natural and restored wet prairies: an evaluation of habitat in Oregon's Willamette Valley

Creator:: Slane, Lori B.
Abstract:: This study was conducted to explore differences in diversity and abundance of small mammal populations in natural and restored wet prairies in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Mammals were live-trapped in eight Willamette Valley wet prairies (four natural remnants and four restorations) during the summer of 2000; population abundance estimates for each...

Regional variation of pull factors for retail sales in Oregon's nonmetropolitan counties 1979, 1982, 1984

Creator:: Corcoran, Patrick
Abstract:: The performance of pull factors for total retail sales in Oregon's nonmetropolitan counties during the economic cycle of boom, bust, and recovery of the early 1980s is examined for geographic patterns. One regional pattern and several county patterns are identified and discussed. Counties having the highest and lowest pull factors,...

Bayocean Spit, Tillamook, Oregon; early economic development and erosion history

Creator:: Terich, Thomas
Abstract:: Bayocean sand spit lies along the northern Oregon coast approximately 70 miles south of the Columbia River. Work was begun on the construction of a large recreational resort on the spit in the early 1900's. At the outset, the resort appeared to have a promising future. However, a three-year delay...
