Beyond Cooperation : Environmental Justice in Transboundary Water Management

Creator:: Watson, Julie Elkins
Abstract:: Since the Wolf, Yoffe, and Giordano 2003 Basins at Risk study, examining human interactions with transboundary water resources through a lens of conflict and cooperation has been a dominant paradigm. The Basins at Risk (BAR) method involves categorizing events on a scale from most conflictive (e.g. war or extensive casualties)...

Terrain analysis and Geographic Information Systems

Creator:: Bruzese, Victoria M.
Abstract:: The purpose of this paper is to define terrain analysis, as it relates to military applications; to review the historical development of the central ideas of terrain analysis, which has led to the development of three computer programs that are designed to make terrain analysis an automated process rather than...

Oregon's early peoples and their relation to the environment : an interpretive approach

Creator:: Possiel, William John
Abstract:: The dramatic upsurge of contract-supported archaeological activity, generated by legislative action, has precipitated an increase in information about Oregon's prehistoric peoples. This information, however, has not been presented in a format which can be easily understood by the general public. This study presents an account of early peoples in Oregon,...

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...

Upper Deschutes River Basin Prehistory: A Preliminary Examination of Flaked Stone Tools and Debitage

Creator:: Taggart, Michael W.
Abstract:: The prehistory of Central Oregon is explored through the examination of six archaeological sites and two isolated finds from the Upper Deschutes River Basin. Inquiry focuses on the land use, mobility, technological organization, and raw material procurement of the aboriginal inhabitants of the area. Archaeological data presented here are augmented...

The distribution of geologic and artifact obsidian from the Silver Lake/Sycan Marsh geochemical source group, South-Central Oregon

Creator:: Thatcher, Jennifer J.
Abstract:: Geochemical characterization methods are commonly used in the reconstruction of prehistoric raw material use and procurement systems. Trace element studies of lithic source material and artifacts, specifically those made of obsidian, can reveal important information about the environmental and cultural factors which influence the prehistoric distribution of raw material. The...

Relationships between vegetation and terrain variables in southeastern Arizona

Creator:: Mouat, David A.
Abstract:: A study to determine the relationship between plant species and eight terrain variables and between thirty-one vegetation types and the terrain variables was conducted in a 4, 000 square mile area south and east of Tucson, Arizona. The eight terrain variables included elevation, parent material, macrorelief, landform type, drainage density,...

Watershed and climate influences on flood frequency distributions in the Willamette River basin

Creator:: Tolle, Timothy Victor
Abstract:: Problem areas identified are: The needs a) to develop curve fitting procedures to estimate flood flow distributions; b) to incorporate precipitation data into frequency analysis procedures; and c) to better define flood potentials for ungauged streams. Closely related to the above, it is noted that variables commonly used to estimate...

Vulnerability and adaptation of Pacific Northwest shellfisheries to ocean acidification

Creator:: Katz, Brian G.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to understand the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of shellfish stakeholders in the Pacific Northwest who are adapting to ocean acidification (OA). This study developed a geovisualization tool of existing environmental data for assessing species-specific risk profiles to OA (based on their exposure and sensitivity),...

Chilling as a factor in crop location with particular reference to deciduous orchards in California

Creator:: Aron, Robert Henry
Abstract:: Several empirical formulas that may be used to estimate available chilling are presented in this study. Many climatic parameters were considered in the derivation of these formulas. One equation employing only maximum and minimum temperatures had a coefficients of correlation (R) and R² values of .978 and .957, respectively. This...
