Caution! High Water: A Historical Archaeological Investigation of the Champoeg Townsite (ORMA26) after the 1861 Flood

Creator:: Hill, Cayla L.
Abstract:: The Champoeg townsite first developed due to its ideal settlement and trade location within the Willamette Valley, becoming the ‘legal birthplace of Oregon’ in 1843. However, by 1860 Champoeg’s significance had begun to decline, and in December of 1861 a devastating flood wiped out the townsite. Archaeological excavations took place...

Sustainable Management of the Water-Energy-Food Nexus: From Traditional to Integrated Hydro-Irrigation-Restoration Systems

Creator:: Fernandez-Guajardo, Patricia T.
Abstract:: A growing number of scholars and policymakers are advocating for the integrated management of water, energy, and food production. The integrated water-energy-food (WEF) nexus approach suggests that systems able to capture and effectively deal with the interdependencies of such coupled systems are more likely to yield long-term sustainable outcomes. In...

Geographic variations in water quality and recreational use along the upper Wallowa River and selected tributaries

Creator:: McDowell, Theodore R.
Abstract:: Physical, chemical and bacterial water quality parameters of the upper Wallowa River were sampled periodically between July 2, 1978 and June 9, 1979 at nine stream and lake sampling sites. Water upstream from Wallowa Lake was typified by low nutrient concentrations ( generally below detectable limits except for nitrates), low....

The ecological legacy of Indian burning practices in southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Carloni, Kenneth R.
Abstract:: Two research questions are posed: (1) How have ecosystem conditions changed through time in southwestern Oregon? (2) How have culture-driven and climate-driven processes contributed to ecosystem change in southwestern Oregon? A brief introduction to the Little River study area is followed by a cultural and ecological history of the watershed....

Weather as an influencing factor in the use of Oregon's coastal recreation areas

Creator:: Rense, William Childs, 1944-
Abstract:: The role of weather in influencing tourist-recreation visitation to the Oregon coast during the six-month summer season of May through October has been investigated by this research. In addition, the normal day-to-day fluctuations in coastal visitation has been determined. Based upon the normal visitation, the tourist-recreation season on Oregon's coast...

How We’ve Rebuilt : Collaboration, Community, Institutions, and Adaptation Following Catastrophic Wildland Fire in the United States

Creator:: Fishler, Hillary K.
Abstract:: In the study of rebuilding and recovery after natural disasters in the United States, little attention is paid to understanding how and why people rebuild following recurring, small-scale events, like wildfire. Hazard and risk literature, instead, is focused on understanding how larger communities with greater resources, economics, and social capital,...

Nonhuman Livelihoods in the Columbia River Basin: A study of salmon-sea lion-human relations

Creator:: Copeland, Kellen
Abstract:: This work explores contemporary human-nonhuman relations in the Columbia River Basin of the Pacific Northwest United States. Specifically, it draws from Columbia sea lions to illustrate how salmon-sea lion-human relations are entangled in the North American Wildlife Management model of nonhuman genocide. It follows a multispecies ethnographic design where over...

Hydrology and geomorphic evolution of basaltic landscapes, High Cascades, Oregon

Creator:: Jefferson, Anne (Anne Jarvis)
Abstract:: The basaltic landscapes of the Oregon High Cascades form a natural laboratory for examining how geologic setting and history influence groundwater flowpaths, streamflow sensitivity to climate, and landscape evolution. In the High Cascades, highly permeable young basaltic lavas form extensive aquifers. These aquifers are the dominant sources of summer streamflow...
