Riparian canopy and channel response to hillslope disturbance in Elk River Basin, southwest Oregon

Creator:: Ryan-Burkett, Sandra E.
Abstract:: Elk River is a sixth order stream, draining a 200 square kilometer basin in the Klainath Mountain province of southwestern Oregon. Timber harvesting began in the basin during the 1950's, with peak removal of wood occurring in the mid to late 1960's. This activity lead to an increase in the...

A comparative study of Oregon and New Zealand as tourist destinations : tourism resources, perceptions, and travel patterns

Creator:: Oppermann, Martin
Abstract:: Tourism has become an important factor in Oregon's and New Zealand's economies. Both destinations are trying to attract even more tourists. However, many other destinations are also competing for a bigger share of the tourism market. Tourism itself is a multi-faceted phenomenon and the travel destination decision is of some...

Thirty-five years of forest succession in southwest Oregon : vegetation response to three distinct logging treatments

Creator:: Arthur, Aaron Stone
Abstract:: This study examined patterns and controls on 35-years of forest succession following logging in the 236 ha South Umpqua Experimental Forest within the Umpqua National Forest in southwestern Oregon. Prior to logging, the overstory in all three watersheds (~50% cover) was composed of Douglas-fir (30-40% cover), grand fir (2 to...

Using an internet map server and coastal remote sensing for education

Creator:: Bower, Peter A.
Abstract:: An Internet Map Server (IMS) web site was constructed with the goal of helping middle- through high-school students learn about ocean processes. This IMS was developed in conjunction with the activities of the Science & Math Investigative Learning Experience (SMILE) program, and for eventual use with the Oregon Coastal Atlas,...

Building and sharing spatial metaphors for thecatalogue of Oregon Marine and Coastal Information (COMCI)

Creator:: Cooper, Colin A.
Abstract:: Spatialization is an innovative way to expand searching capabilities for a marine/coastal reference database by using a metaphorical map framework to establish a sense of place for non-spatial information. Spatializing the Catalogue of Oregon Marine and Coastal Information (COMCI), a coastal reference database, enables the marine and coastal resource community...

Microcomputer simulation for subsurface water potential on hillslope

Creator:: Malstaff, Greg
Abstract:: This research paper focuses upon subsurface flow because of its dominant influence on the other types of hilislope water flow processes. The basic theory of water movement is quickly discussed in order to build the reader's general background knowledge. With this background, the journey starts into the poorly understood realm...

The changing glaciers of Mt. Hood, Oregon and Mt. Rainier, Washington : implications for periglacial debris flows

Creator:: Ellinger, Jonathan R.
Abstract:: Mountain glaciers are receding worldwide with numerous consequences including changing hydrology and geomorphology. This study focuses on changes in glacier area on Mt. Hood, Oregon and Mt. Rainier, Washington where damaging debris flows have occurred in glaciated basins. Landsat imagery is used to map debris-free ice on a decadal time...

Vulnerability of port and harbor communities to earthquake and tsunami hazards in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Wood, Nathan J.
Abstract:: Earthquakes a . tsunamis pose significant threats to port and harbor communities in the Pacific Northwest. Developing effective mitigation and preparedness plans requires a comprehensive understanding of community vulnerability. Research presented here focuses on the vulnerability of ports and harbors to earthquake and tsunami hazards and includes a regional study...

Plowzone Archaeology : The Analysis of Site 35JA85, Jackson County, Oregon

Creator:: Lebow, Clayton Gale
Abstract:: In 1976, cultural resource technicians for the Rogue River National Forest located a prehistoric archaeological site, 35JA85, while performing a survey for the proposed J. Herbert Stone Nursery. The site, situated next to Jackson Creek in the Bear Creek Valley southwestern Oregon, is approximately three miles northwest of Medford, and...

The Tlegetlinten Site (35CU59) and its place in southwest Oregon prehistory

Creator:: Tisdale, Lucille
Abstract:: Archaeological research in the lower Rogue River Basin between Galice Creek on the middle Rogue River and Gold Beach at the mouth of the Rogue has been minimal. Tlegetlinten (35CU59), a site located at the confluence of the Rogue and Illinois rivers is one of only three sites that have...
