The late spring secondary precipitation maximum in the interior Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Quinn, Robert
Abstract:: The Late Spring Secondary Precipitation Maximum in the Interior Pacific Northwest results from a complex system of climatic controls. The Secondary Maximum is most strongly developed over the high plateau of Oregon immediately in the lee of the Cascade Mountains. Local topographic organization exerts strong control over the magnitude and...

Investing upstream : a social-ecological systems perspective on water utility investments in ecosystem services

Creator:: Bennett, Drew E.
Abstract:: The concept of ecosystem services broadens perspectives on nature to include not only intrinsic value but also the utilitarian value it provides to society. Viewing nature through this lens informs our understanding of how particular ecological processes benefit different actors. In this research, I examine how water utilities in the...

U.S. Forest Service wilderness management: problems and management methods of four wilderness areas in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Werner, Ann Claire
Abstract:: Increasing wilderness use, and the uneven distribution of use within wilderness areas, have contributed to management problems. Problems associated with some heavily visited areas are in conflict with the intent of the Wilderness Act of 1964. One of the constraints hindering optimal management has been the decentralized nature of the...

Assessing the Role of Snow Cover for Regenerating Forests over Post-wildfire Landscapes in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Wilson, Andy C.
Abstract:: Forested, mountain landscapes in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are changing at an unprecedented rate, largely due to shifts in the regional climate regime. Documented climatic trends across the PNW include increasing wildfire frequency and intensity and an increasingly ephemeral snowpack, especially at moderate elevations. One relationship that has yet to...

A method for remotely monitoring glaciers with regional application to the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Medley, Brooke
Abstract:: An integrative method for monitoring glacier geometry change and mass balance is presented and applied to the Pacific Northwest, USA. Acting as a baseline for interpretation of future changes in glacier size and shape, we first derive a new inventory of regional glacier cover using remotely sensed data. To investigate...

Ku on the Columbia : Hawaiian laborers in the Pacific Northwest Fur Industry

Creator:: Rogers, Donnell J.
Abstract:: Archaeological investigations can reveal persistent traditions of ethnic groups. Hawaiians were employed in the fur trade of the Columbia River from 1810 through 1850. The Hudson's Bay Company employed them at Ft. Vancouver, Washington from 1825 through the end of this period. Data from the excavations of the servant's village...

Biophysical spectral regionalization of the Pacific Northwest using Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer Imagery

Creator:: Greninger, Jon F.
Abstract:: Satellite imagery has become an efficient and time effective tool that may aid in the development of regional terrestrial and aquatic resource management schemes. A methodology utilizing National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) imagery, 1.1 kilometer spatial resolution at nadir, was developed for delineating...

A point-data analysis of the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) and its relationship to seasonal precipitation in the northwest United States

Creator:: Worley, Timothy J.
Abstract:: El Niflo and La Nifia are oceanographic and atmospheric phenomena that have been catalogued for well over a centuly. In El Nifio years, Peru's otherwise thy west coast is subjected to torrential rainfall. Higher ocean temperatures off the coast are deemed the culprit. Attempts to quantify this began in the...

Tribal Tourism Development on American Indian Reservations in the Western United States

Creator:: Browne, Rita-Jean
Abstract:: In their search for viable economic development opportunities, many American Indian tribes have focused their attention toward tourism development on their reservation lands. In many cases, the greatest potential for economic development and attracting income to the reservations lies in tourist trade. Although tourism may not be a tribe's primary...
