  • Monitoring a wetland wastewater treatment system at Cannon Beach, Oregon

    Creator:
    Franklin, Kenneth T.
    Abstract:
    Since 1984, the city of Cannon Beach has used a 7 ha, two-cell red alder/twinberry/slough sedge palustrine wetland to treat chlorinated effluent from a four-cell aerated/facultative lagoon system. For three years effluent has met summer wastewater discharge limitations (10 mg/L BOD5 and 10 mg/L TSS). Field research in 1986 concerned...

  • Searching for Early Archaeological Sites Along the Central Oregon Coast: A Case Study From Neptune State Park (35LA3), Lane County, Oregon

    Creator:
    Jenevein, Steven A.
    Abstract:
    Locating archaeological sites that predate the arrival of modern sea level has been difficult along the Oregon coast. This is in part believed to be the result of geologic processes that have influenced the preservation, distribution, and visibility of sites within the Oregon coastal landscape. Because of these changes, researchers...

  • 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...

  • Geographic information systems : suitability to a land use planning problem

    Creator:
    Harmon, Robert C.
    Abstract:
    Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a burgeoning field with its roots in geography. It is increasingly being used by a large variety of disciplines, including land use planning, as a decision support tool to help solve complex spatial problems. At Oregon State University, researchers have developed an analog model which...

  • Problems associated with changing land tenure in the Calapooia Drainage Basin

    Creator:
    Thomason, Dennis Richard
    Abstract:
    The land tenure system in the United States contains a variety of tenure types. A major characteristic of this tenure system is the continual change of tenure types within a given region. As these tenure types change, problems of a cultural, economic, and legal nature are created and interact with...

  • Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Broad-scale Predictive Models : Influences of Scale

    Creator:
    Hooper, Samuel
    Abstract:
    Developing accurate predictive distribution models requires adequately representing relevant spatial and temporal scales, as these scales are ultimately reflective of the relationships between distributions and influential environmental conditions. In this research, we considered both spatial and temporal scale and the influence each has on predicting broad-scale distributions of two disparate...
