The wild and scenic river act : problems of implementation in Oregon

Creator:: Root, Ann L.
Abstract:: In 1968, Congress passed the Wild and Scenic River Act creating a system of rivers protected from dams and other development. By 1987, segments of four Oregon rivers were protected by the Wild and Scenic River System: the Rogue, Illinois, Owyhee, and a portion of the Snake along the Idaho...

Equal contrast tint progressions for computer cartography

Creator:: Bernert, Joseph A.
Abstract:: A psychophysical bisectioning experiment was performed to evaluate equal steps within tint progressions on a high resolution graphics terminal. In the bisectioning experiment each respondent partitioned a tint progression by interactively defining colors that were perceptually equidistant between two previously defined colors. Twenty test subjects performed the test on the...

Transboundary river floods : vulnerability of continents, international river basins and countries

Creator:: Bakker, Marloes H. N.
Abstract:: Floods are the most frequent and damaging of all types of natural disasters and annually affect the lives of millions all over the globe. However, researchers seem to have overlooked the fact that floods do not recognize national boundaries. Therefore, the phenomena of shared, or transboundary floods occurring in international...

Methodological considerations for implementing the U.S. Soil Conservation Service Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA) System in Oregon, with special reference to Marion County, Oregon

Creator:: Fastner, Christopher John
Abstract:: Oregon land use specialists believe that the present definitions of farm and forest land in the state planning goals are too broad. This results in poor quality resource lands being as strongly protected as those of top quality. With persistent growth pressure on rural lands, a means to distinguish among...

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...

Archaeological investigation and technological analysis of the Quartz Mountain Obsidian Quarry, central Oregon

Creator:: Hatch, John B.
Abstract:: The Quartz Mountain Obsidian Quarry is located in the Southeast corner of the Bend Fort Rock Ranger District in central Oregon, approximately forty-five miles southeast of Bend, Oregon. The research of the Quartz Mountain Obsidian Quarry began with a literature search of other quarry sites in the area and the...

Mining Landsat Time-series Imagery to Understand Spatiotemporal Dynamics of the Urban Landscape: A Perspective from Local Climate Zone Mapping

Creator:: Xu, Chunxue
Abstract:: We live on an Urban Planet. The current unprecedented urbanization is accompanied by intensive land cover transition and demographic shifts from rural to urban livelihoods. Cities serve as cultural, economic, political centers that facilitate wealth creation and innovation of the society, sustaining human from multi-dimensions with large ecological footprints far...

Reallocating resources, rebuilding community : the Klamath Basin agreements and the emergence of adaptive governance

Creator:: Chaffin, Brian C.
Abstract:: The concept of "adaptive governance" represents a spectrum of hybrid approaches to environmental governance employed to guide management of complex social-ecological systems under conditions of high uncertainty. While the concept of adaptive governance has benefited from over a decade of theoretical development, empirical examples of transitions towards adaptive governance are...

Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Broad-scale Predictive Models : Influences of Scale

Creator:: Hooper, Samuel
Abstract:: Developing accurate predictive distribution models requires adequately representing relevant spatial and temporal scales, as these scales are ultimately reflective of the relationships between distributions and influential environmental conditions. In this research, we considered both spatial and temporal scale and the influence each has on predicting broad-scale distributions of two disparate...
