A Spatial Assessment of Conservation Opportunities in the Willamette River Floodplain between Corvallis and Albany, Oregon

Creator:: Baker, Jeffrey M.
Abstract:: The Willamette River floodplain has been highly modified by urbanization, conversion of land to agriculture, construction of dams and revetments, and regulation of flow, all of which have reduced floodplain processes that provide valuable ecosystem services such as fish and wildlife habitat and flood storage. Efforts to protect and restore...

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...

An Interdisciplinary-Botanical Perspective for Cultural Resource Management: A Definition and the Application of Culturally Significant Plants in Identification, Interpretation, and Evaluation for the National Register of Historic Places

Creator:: Burk, Rene F.
Abstract:: Cultivated plants are often living artifacts that can aid in evaluation of historic or cultural landscapes. However, a working definition for “culturally significant plant” is currently lacking in the guidance literature for the cultural resource management practitioners. Based on a review of the literature on cultivated plants as indicators of...

The historic and contemporary ecology of western Cascade meadows : archeology, vegetation, and macromoth ecology

Creator:: Highland, Steven A.
Abstract:: Montane meadows in the western Cascades of Oregon occupy approximately 5% of the landscape, but contribute greatly to the region's biodiversity. Western Cascades meadows are dynamic parts of the landscape and have contracted by over 50% in the past two hundred years in the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest (hereafter Andrews...

Using a Two-Species Individual-Based Model to Examine the Population Responses of Northern Spotted Owls to Experimental Removals of Barred Owls in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Perlman, Kathryn R.
Abstract:: Management goals for restoring populations of the federally-threatened northern spotted owl currently include experimental lethal removals of barred owls from demographic study areas within the overlapping ranges of the two species to examine northern spotted owl population response. As lethal removals of a bird species are time- and cost-intensive, predictive...

Mapping the potential acidic deposition in southwestern California using ambient air concentrations of acid precursors

Creator:: Doherty, David D.
Abstract:: Attempts to map the distribution of acidic deposition have been inadequate, particularly in areas of seasonal or limited rainfall. Ambient air concentrations of acid precursors may be used to monitor and map the distribution of potential acidic deposition. A network of stations in California currently monitor these ambient air concentrations....

Evaluating the effectiveness of illuminated and shadowed contour lines

Creator:: Eynard, James D.
Abstract:: Illuminated contour lines, where line width and color are varied based on an angle of illumination, date back to the mid-nineteenth century, but their effectiveness compared to conventional contour lines has not been fully examined. Currently, illuminated contour lines are not widely used in computer-based cartography because they are not...

“We’re not masters of anything” : personal values and masculinities in agricultural decision making

Creator:: Cameron, Olivia Z.
Abstract:: The agricultural sector is one of the largest contributors to global climate change but is also one of the most vulnerable to its impacts. Farmers are at increasing risk of livelihood loss, which produces risks for their physical and emotional wellbeing on a global scale. Swift and effective adaptation is...

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...

Bridging Data and Theory: Developing Physics Informed Machine Learning for Snow Hydrology

Creator:: Steele, Hannah
Abstract:: Snow is a critical component of global climate regulation and provides water resources to over one billion people worldwide. Yet current measurement methods and modeling techniques lack the ability to fully capture snow characteristics such as snow water equivalent (SWE), snow depth, and density variable landscapes. In recent years, the...
