A Classification of Stone Features and an Examination of Their Positional Attributes

Creator:: Green, Phillip C. (Phillip Cody), 1950-
Abstract:: The analysis of prehistoric stone features has suffered for two separate but related reasons. The first is the lack of stringency in defining the terms attributed to these structures and, second, the perception of a lack of formal attributes exhibited by them. These two factors have made it impossible to...

A comparison of false color composites in mapping and discriminating between salt-affected soils in Kings County, California

Creator:: Gutierrez, Carmelita
Abstract:: Spectral profiles, transformed divergence values, and feature space derived from Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) data were used to analyze the ability of four false color composites to discriminate between different classes of salt-affected soils. To compare the spatial distribution of salt-affected soil classes, maps were generated for each false color...

A method for remotely monitoring glaciers with regional application to the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Medley, Brooke
Abstract:: An integrative method for monitoring glacier geometry change and mass balance is presented and applied to the Pacific Northwest, USA. Acting as a baseline for interpretation of future changes in glacier size and shape, we first derive a new inventory of regional glacier cover using remotely sensed data. To investigate...

A systems model of the post-diluvial expansion of the National Flood Insurance Program in Lewistown, Pennsylvania

Creator:: Bresenhan, Thomas Patrick
Abstract:: Expansion of the National Flood Insurance Program is described in the context of a modification of Kates' Systems Model of Human Adjustments to Natural Hazards for a small central Pennsylvania town (1970 population=ll,O98) that became eligible for flood insurance four months after experiencing five million dollars in flood damage and...

A technique for predicting the urban structure of a region

Creator:: Warwick, William Michael
Abstract:: The two classic theories of the distribution of cities in an urban system are the rank size rule and central place theory. The rank size relationships, as incorporated into G. K. Zipf's Principle of Least Effort, is seen as the result of a balancing of the opposing forces of urban...

Advancements in the Monitoring of Forests and Quantification of Live Aboveground Biomass Using Moderate Resolution Spaceborne Multispectral Imagery and Synthetic Aperture Radar Data

Creator:: Kilbride, John B.
Abstract:: The objective of this dissertation is to enhance the monitoring of forest ecosystems through the utilization of remotely sensed data to address the exigencies posed by the Anthropocene. On a global scale, rising temperatures and fluctuating precipitation patterns have strained forests and produced shifts in natural disturbance regimes. Additionally, the...

An analysis of conflict for the Columbia River salmon fishery

Creator:: Brown, Dennis E.
Abstract:: This paper is an analysis of the resource use conflict of the Columbia River salmon fishery. The report discusses the physical setting of the Columbia River, the biology of anadromous salmon, the history of the resource use, hazards to the salmon, fishing techniques, and salmon usage today with its conflicts,...

An analysis of two post-Mazama prehistoric flaked stone scatters in the upper Deschutes River basin of central Oregon

Creator:: McFarland, Janine Ruth
Abstract:: During the summer of 1986, an archaeological testing project was completed at seven prehistoric campsites primarily located in the upper Deschutes River Basin of central Oregon. Testing was focused on two low-density "lithic scatters", an archaelogical site type which is especially abundant in this obsidian-rich region but which, to date,...

An application of photogrammetric techniques to the measurement of historic photographs

Creator:: Strausz, David A. Jr
Abstract:: The application of the collinearity solution by resection of the interior and exterior orientation parameters of historical photographs is investigated. The spatial coordinates of seven or more identifiable control points in the field of view of an historical photograph, combined with image coordinates of the control point images, allow solution...

Analysis of growth rates of residential land values on and near the regulated flood plain

Creator:: Warnick, Larry James
Abstract:: Flood plain regulations are one of six major adjustments used to cope with flood hazard in the United States. This adjustment was essentially neglected in the national flood hazard policies until Congress enacted the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968. The implementation of regulations, as called for in the Act,...
