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...

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...

The marine geomorphology of American Samoa : shapes and distributions of deep sea volcanics

Creator:: Roberts, Jed T.
Abstract:: The geologic processes at work in American Samoa have long been a point of scientific debate. Of its numerous volcanic formations, few breach sea level, leaving an enormous proportion of their mass unavailable to traditional observation. This study aims to describe the deep sea geomorphology of American Samoa through compilation,...

Spatio-Temporal Analysis and Modeling in the Marine Environment : Humpback Whale Genetic Variability and Seabird Distributions in the Northeastern Pacific Ocean

Creator:: Dick, Dorothy Marie
Abstract:: The rapid decline of marine ecosystems worldwide and the failure of traditional single species management pushed for the development of ecosystem-based conservation measures such as marine protected areas (MPA) to slow the loss of marine biodiversity. One approach to MPA creation advocates targeting marine megafauna (e.g., marine mammals, seabirds, sharks,...

An earthquake emergency management model integrating remote sensing with geographic information systems: lessons learned from the 1999 Kocaeli, Turkey earthquake

Creator:: Young, Stephen L.
Abstract:: An emergency management system integrating remote sensing and geographic information systems applied to emergency preparation, response, and recovery could have reduced casualties and damage after the August 17, 1999 Kocaeli, Turkey earthquake. Model system components include a horizontally and vertically distributed knowledge base, LIDAR 3D urban modeling, automatic feature extraction,...

Oregon's Mid-Willamette Valley wetlands : agricultural uses, alternative uses, problems and trends

Creator:: Tsutsui, Setsuo Harry
Abstract:: The wetlands are distinguished from other lands of the Mid-Willamette Valley by excessive soil moisture. The wetlands, as defined for this study, consist of 20 soil series (in 22 soil mapping units) which are classified by the Soil Conservation Service as having excessive wetness as the major factor limiting their...

Spatial expressions of farm size changes in the Polk and Linn counties of Oregon

Creator:: Van Otten, George A.
Abstract:: The spatial organization of farm units in Polk and Linn counties in the mid-Willamette Valley has undergone significant change over the past 30 years. Whereas most study areas operations in the 1930's and 1940's consisted of small family owned farms with contiguous land bases, present mid-Willamette Valley units vary considerably...
