Resource applications of Geographic Information Systems: the development of the roads layer for the Siuslaw National Forest

Creator:: Cogswell, Megan L.
Abstract:: The U.S. Forest Service has been actively using new information technologies since the formation of the agency. Currently forests are using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for mapping, data storage, modeling, and spatial analysis. The Siuslaw National Forest has an active GIS with many data layers. A project to correct the...

A Methodology to directly input data from an uncontrolled aerial photograph into a vector based geographic information system

Creator:: Sneed, Jacquelin M.
Abstract:: Historically the U.S. Forest Service has used uncorrected aerial photographs to delineate proposed and past management activities on the land base it manages. Transferring a boundary from an image not planimetrically correct to a planimetrically corrected image introduces errors. Positional accuracy of boundaries affects the number of acres the Forest...

Monitoring sand dune processes at the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area : can pre-vegetated conditions be restored?

Creator:: Mitteager, Wendy Ann
Abstract:: The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area is managed by the Siuslaw Forest division of the United States Forest Service (USFS). This area has gradually been overcome by vegetation since the 1950's, originating with the exotic European Beach Grass (Ammophila arenaria). The invasion of this exotic vegetation has resulted in a...

Geographic Information System model rating old-growth stand significance on the Olympic National Forest

Creator:: Wettengel, William M.
Abstract:: With increased attention being focused on the remaining old-growth forest resource in the Pacific Northwest a way to ecologically rate forest stands is needed to assist the U.S. Forest Service in its management decisions. A Geographic Information System (GIS) model was developed to rate old-growth stands in a 49,500 acre...

Evaluation of high-altitude color infrared photography for forest inventory

Creator:: Kelley, Thomas H.
Abstract:: High-altitude color infrared photography is found to be an effective tool for forest inventory in the Umpqua National Forest of southwestern Oregon. Intelligent resource management requires the rapid, accurate, and economical inventory results that can be supplied by remote sensing. Color infrared film is shown to possess properties that make...

A study of the geomorphological processes at the Siltcoos foredune breaching experiment site

Creator:: Hanna, James M.
Abstract:: The focus of this study was to examine and record the physical changes brought about by the breaching of the Siltcoos Foredune. The origin of the dunes and the physical processes that operate there must be considered before effects due to the breach can be studied. A series of field...
