A reconstruction of changes in land use/land cover in Vermont relative to sensitivity of surface waters to acidic deposition

Creator:: Clarke, Sharon Elaine
Abstract:: Patterns of land use/land cover explain some of the spatial variability in sensitivity of surface waters to acidic deposition. Historic changes in land use/land cover may further explain some of the spatial variability. A map of land use/land cover changes needs to be compiled before this relationship can be analyzed....

Basin level ecological regions of the upper Grande Ronde River

Creator:: Thiele, Sandra Anne
Abstract:: Ecological regionalization is a form of spatial classification, where boundaries are drawn around areas relatively homogeneous in landscape characteristics. In the delineation of ecological regions, or ecoregions, the process includes the analysis of ecosystem structure and function. Ecoregions have been developed at national and state scales for research and resource...

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...

What the public wants : an analysis of voter preference on the issue of comprehensive planning in Oregon

Creator:: Bartsch, Ellen J.
Abstract:: Voter preference on the issue of comprehensive land use planning in Oregon was analyzed through various population characteristics in order to determine the factors contributing to public preference in this issue and how they were distributed spatially. Two statistical models were developed to analyze the correlations between voting outcome in...

Off-shore oil exploration in the Arctic Ocean a comparative analysis of newspaper information and public attitude

Creator:: Tombropoulos, Charles B.
Abstract:: This research questions the effectiveness of newspapers as a vehicle of environmental information by determining whether the public attitude in Alaska towards off-shore oil exploration was consistent with that expressed in the local newspapers. All newspaper articles about off-shore oil exploration published in Alaska between 1980 and May 1987 were...

A preliminary investigation into the hydrology of the Jackson/Frazier Wetland, Oregon

Creator:: Drost, Monica Buffkin
Abstract:: The Jackson/Frazier Wetland is a small wetland in Benton County, Oregon. It has one main inf lowing stream, Jackson/Frazier Creek, and one main outfiowing stream, a man-made drainage ditch. Streamflow measurements were collected for both streams over a four month period of November 1983 to February 1984. This data was...

Origin of the Tucannon phase in Lower Snake River prehistory

Creator:: Lucas, Steven W.
Abstract:: Approximately 5,500 years ago a discreet period of wetter and cooler environmental conditions prevailed across the southern Columbia Plateau. This period was marked by the first prominent episodes of erosion to occur along the lower Snake River following the height of the Altithermal and eruption of Mt. Mazama during the...

Assessing the design of international water supply and hydropower arrangements for managing certain climate change scenarios

Creator:: Zentner, Matthew A.
Abstract:: Increased variability of rainfall and flow from climate change has the potential to stress existing transboundary water sharing agreements and make meeting the needs of all riparians difficult. Water treaties have been theorized as valuable tools for mitigating conflict in times of climate stress, but the relationship between the design...

It Depends: Defining Cooperation and Evaluating Effectiveness in Transboundary Waters

Creator:: McCracken, Melissa J.
Abstract:: With the increasing international focus on transboundary cooperation as a part of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Framework, there is global recognition of transboundary water cooperation as a tool for improved governance and management of transboundary surface and groundwaters. Yet, there is not an agreed upon definition of transboundary water...
