The Role of Southern Oregon's Coastal Islands in Prehistoric Subsistence

Creator:: Gard, Howard A.
Abstract:: The portion of the Oregon coast extending from Cape Blanco south into California has long been recognized as a distinct physiographic region, with probable ramifications for prehistoric subsistence and settlement patterns. Several researchers have proposed models outlining a greater reliance upon marine/littoral resources among groups within this region, while more...

Chronic coastal hazards and coastal construction setback modeling with Geographic Information Systems on Oregon's central coast

Creator:: Foisy, Jeffrey S.
Abstract:: With the current pressure for increased growth, the affects of climatic forcing events pose serious threats to Oregon's Coastal Communities. Mathematical methods have been implemented to establish setback distances for development adjacent to littoral cells. Using formulae developed by the Coastal Construction Setback Taskforce (CCST) under the Oregon Coastal Management...

Derivation of near-shore bathymetry from multispectral satellite imagery used in a coastal terrain model for the topographic analysis of human influence on coral reefs

Creator:: Hogrefe, Kyle Richard
Abstract:: The analysis of material and energy exchange between the marine and terrestrial components of island ecosystems enables research into the impact of human population and land use on the health of coral reef habitat. Satellite and acoustic remote sensing technologies enable the collection of data to produce high resolution bathymetry...

The cultural significance of mountain regions : implications for the Calapooya Divide, Oregon

Creator:: Starr, Karen J.
Abstract:: Altitudinal variations in upland regions of the earth create variable climatic zones and conditions. Plant and animal communities must adapt to these conditions, and when they reach their tolerance limits for environmental conditions at the upper levels of a zone, they cease to exist in the environment. Humans also utilize...

Rural Philomath Oregon 1850-1930 : geography and economy in oral history

Creator:: Russell, John A.
Abstract:: Ranching and lumbering were two of the primary economic practices in a small rural study area south of Philomath Oregon (in Benton County), from first Euro-American settlement through 1930. Ranching was common but lumbering was restricted by geographical and market transportation problems until after 1900. Catalysts for change came in...

Vegetation ecology and net primary productivity of selected freshwater wetlands in Oregon

Creator:: Boss, Theodore R. (Theodore Robert)
Abstract:: Vegetation ecology of eight Oregon freshwater wetlands was described and net aerial primary productivity estimated in four wetlands. Plant cover samples were used to classify 37 wetland and 11 terrestrial communities by agglomerative hierarchical clustering. Samples and species were ordinated. Direct measurements were made of sample relative elevation, inundation duration,...

A Preliminary Archaeological Predictive Model for the US 30 Transportation Corridor, Portland, Oregon to Astoria, Oregon

Creator:: Kachadoorian, Lydia A.
Abstract:: This thesis is a preliminary archaeological predictive model and project-planning tool created for the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) as part of a statewide planning effort to enhance the agency's ability to assess the potential impacts of highway projects on archaeological resources. This model addresses the archaeological sensitivity of the...

Resource conflicts and expansion opportunities of ski areas in Oregon and Washington

Creator:: Gilbert, Kirby Wayne
Abstract:: The ski areas of Oregon and Washington are similar in many [respects], especially in that they are predominately local day areas and are located on United States Forest Service lands. The demand for more ski facilities is apparent yet the number of new areas opening has decreased over the years....

Some impacts of tourism based growth in a small town : a case study of Sisters, Oregon

Creator:: Brandt, Eric H.
Abstract:: While many small towns today find themselves struggling in the face of economic stagnation or decline, others must deal with rapid growth and the threat it poses to their valued quality of life. The small central Oregon town of Sisters offers an example of a town whose previously declining economy...

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,...
