The influence of aging dams and geography on the distribution of dam removals in the United States

Creator:: Ashley, Sara
Abstract:: Over 470 dams have been removed in the United States, and a significant increase in dam removals has occurred since the early 1990s. The aging of dams is often cited as the primary factor influencing removals; as dams surpass their functional life span, safety hazards, economic costs, and environmental concerns...

Demographic effects on school support in Oregon

Creator:: Kepler, Richard J.
Abstract:: The differences in the per student cost of education and the taxes to pay for that education can be attributed, in part, to the rate of population growth within a school district. The lowest coats and taxes are found in those school districts with the fastest growing populations. As the...

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...

Advancements in the Monitoring of Forests and Quantification of Live Aboveground Biomass Using Moderate Resolution Spaceborne Multispectral Imagery and Synthetic Aperture Radar Data

Creator:: Kilbride, John B.
Abstract:: The objective of this dissertation is to enhance the monitoring of forest ecosystems through the utilization of remotely sensed data to address the exigencies posed by the Anthropocene. On a global scale, rising temperatures and fluctuating precipitation patterns have strained forests and produced shifts in natural disturbance regimes. Additionally, the...

Recreation potentials of the islands and marshes adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway

Creator:: Burgess, Linda Louise
Abstract:: Few Americans are aware of the tremendous recreation potentials along the banks of the Intracoastal Waterway, mainly because they are unaware of the existence and extent of the toll-free Waterway. This study attempts to categorize and locate some of the attractions that can be explored along the two thousand miles...

An analysis of two post-Mazama prehistoric flaked stone scatters in the upper Deschutes River basin of central Oregon

Creator:: McFarland, Janine Ruth
Abstract:: During the summer of 1986, an archaeological testing project was completed at seven prehistoric campsites primarily located in the upper Deschutes River Basin of central Oregon. Testing was focused on two low-density "lithic scatters", an archaelogical site type which is especially abundant in this obsidian-rich region but which, to date,...
