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...

Performance zoning as an alternative to Euclidean zoning

Creator:: Stockham, John R.
Abstract:: The term Euclidean zoning is derived from the famous case of Euclid vs. Ambler Realty Company in which the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the right of the town of Euclid to zone land on the basis of land use categories (e.g. residential, commercial, and industrial). Since Euclid, the field of...

Mapping glacier flow on the Juneau Icefield, Alaska-Canada

Creator:: Atwood, Nate N.
Abstract:: Field data collection techniques in combination with remote sensing techniques were used to interpret and map the complex flow pattern of the numerous glaciers comprising the Juneau lcefield, spanning the Alaska- Canada boundary range. The extensive nature of the icefield mandated the use of a variety of methods for surveying...

Geographic information systems : some considerations for use in geographic research and analysis

Creator:: Herstrom, Andrew A.
Abstract:: The major considerations for acquiring and using a geographic information system (G..I.S.) for regional or national geographical research and analysis are examined in this paper. After defining what a G.I.S. is, some of the more practical and useful functions of a G.I.S. in day-to--day geographical work are outlined. Finally, the...

Forest Fire Effects on Radiative and Turbulent Fluxes over Snow : Implications for Snow Hydrology

Creator:: Gleason, Kelly E.
Abstract:: As a result of a warming climate, subsequent declining snowpack, and a century of fire suppression, forest fires are increasing across the western United States. However, we still do not fully understand how forest fire effects snowpack energy balance, nor the volume and availability of snow melt and associated water...

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...

Eastward Routing of Glacial Lake Agassiz Runoff caused the Younger Dryas Cold Event

Creator:: Leydet, David J.
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is to analyze an abrupt case of climate change in the past as a means to understand the mechanisms that force climate change. By looking to past analogs of climate change, we hopefully will gain an understanding of these events, which could be used to...
