Creator:: Istok, J. D.
Abstract:: The mineralogy of soils involved in mass movement in Oregon's coast range was examined to determine relationships between clay mineralogy and landscape instability. The objectives were: 1) to determine what kind of materials constitute the less than 2μ fraction of soils involved in different categories of mass movement, and 2)...

Creator:: Andrews, Shannon B.
Abstract:: Algae have shown great potential as a source for renewable fuels. However, current production schemes have not been able to prove a sustainable energy return on investment due in part to the high costs of nutrient addition and the energy required for drying the biomass. Integrated algae-dairy production systems have...

Creator:: Hodgins-Carlson, Terry Anne
Abstract:: Published literature about six Pacific Northwest stream systems was contrasted to provide a regional perspective on channel response to disturbance. This investigation was prompted by a combination of recent environmental legislation, mounting social pressures to plan projects at a drainage basin scale, and the difficulty in defining and predicting the...

Creator:: Lenhard, Robert J. (Robert James)
Abstract:: Capillary pressure-saturation data obtained for unconsolidated porous media with different liquids are examined to investigate the effects of clay-liquid interactions on liquid retention. Liquid retention functions are assumed to reflect the effective pore-size distributions. The hydraulic variables, capillary pressure and saturation, are transformed to account for changes in liquid retention...

Creator:: Taskey, Ronald D. (Ronald David), 1944-
Abstract:: Soil erosion by mass wasting is the major problem on forest lands of the Pacific Northwest, The clay fractions of soils from a large number of sites in Oregon's Western Cascades were characterized in order to determine the relationships of various clay materials to mass movements. Each site was either...

Creator:: Glasmann, Joseph Reed
Abstract:: Clay mineral genesis was studied in soils representative of several different geomorphic surfaces in western Oregon, ranging in age from Pliocene-early Pleistocene to late Pleistocene. Soil solution studies, clay mineralogy, and soil raicromorphology were employed to provide evidence of clay mineral synthesis and interpret soil genesis. Soils at each study...
