One approach to the development of a simple Geographic Information System for management of natural resource areas

Creator:: Gaston, Greg G.
Abstract:: This project explored one set of tools and procedures that appeared to have the potential to make the handling of the spatial data necessary for resource management more efficient and effective. This project used data from the Nature Conservancy's Lawrence Memorial Grassland Preserve and was designed to explore a low...

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...

Biophysical spectral regionalization of the Pacific Northwest using Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer Imagery

Creator:: Greninger, Jon F.
Abstract:: Satellite imagery has become an efficient and time effective tool that may aid in the development of regional terrestrial and aquatic resource management schemes. A methodology utilizing National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) imagery, 1.1 kilometer spatial resolution at nadir, was developed for delineating...

Regional patterns of alkalinity in Oregon streams: an overview of ecological regionalization

Creator:: Henderson, Sandra
Abstract:: While many geographers believe that the regional concept is central to geographic study, no definitive regional scheme exists. The criteria considered in each regional study will relate to a stated objective or study. Ecological regionalization is a major contribution by geographers to environmental studies. By examining spatial patterns of factors...

Mapping from airphotos to determine disturbance in streamside land use

Creator:: Ely, Jane F.
Abstract:: High resolution land use/land cover information from stream riparian areas is useful in understanding instream biotic assemblages, and is often not available for geographical research. A classification system was developed which provides the types of information about the riparian buffer thought to be important in providing good habitat for, or...

An ecological assessment of riparian land-use regulation, Lane County, Oregon

Creator:: Verret, Gregory Joseph
Abstract:: Riparian areas contribute to numerous ecological-maintenance functions and so are often the focus of protection efforts by land and resource management agencies. The riparian land-use regulations of one jurisdiction, Lane County, Oregon, are assessed for effectiveness in protecting ecological functions. Evaluation of the current condition of five elements of riparian...

Improving the representation of large landforms in analytical relief shading

Creator:: Marston, Brooke E.
Abstract:: Relief shading is the most common type of cartographic relief representation for print and digital maps. Manual relief shading results in informative and visually pleasing representations of terrain, but it is time consuming and expensive to produce. Current analytical relief shading can be created quickly, but the resulting maps are...

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...

Spatial interpolation in other dimensions

Creator:: Martin, Peter
Abstract:: The purpose of this work is to broaden the theoretical foundations of interpolation of spatial data, by showing how ideas and methods from information theory and signal processing are applicable to the the work of geographers. Attention is drawn to the distinction between what we study and how we represent...
