Analysis of land use/land cover and the frequency of bankfull flow in selected salmon habitat recovery streams in the Pacific Northwest using GIS

Creator:: Whelan, Franziska
Abstract:: Bankfull discharge is an important indicator of streamfiow and affects physical instream habitat. Geographic Information Systems (G IS), hydrologic modeling, and statistical analysis were utilized to assess the relationship of bankfull discharge recurrence intervals and land use / land cover watershed wide and for stream adjacent buffers and bands of...

The visualization of perspective systems and iconology in Dürer’s cartographic works : an in-depth analysis using multiple methodological approaches

Creator:: Wörz, Adèle Lorraine
Abstract:: This dissertation uses a new methodological approach for an in-depth analysis of three cartographic works. Studies within the discipline of the history of cartography have followed various methodologies throughout the past century. This dissertation argues that in order to come to a more complete understanding of how maps were produced...

Acoustic monitoring of earthquakes along the Blanco Transform Fault Zone and Gorda plate and their tectonic implications

Creator:: Dziak, Robert P.
Abstract:: Hydroacoustic tertiary (T-) waves are seismically generated acoustic waves that propagate over great distances in the ocean sound channel with little loss in signal strength. Hydrophone recorded T-waves can provide a lower earthquake detection threshold and an improved epicenter location accuracy for oceanic earthquakes than land-based seismic networks. Thus detection...

Technology and meaning in natural resource management : the story-making role of GIS in the CLAMS project

Creator:: Duncan, Sally
Abstract:: The working hypothesis for this study is that the introduction of GIS technology into the ancient procedures of map-making has changed the map-making context sufficiently to require a revision of the way we think about, learn from, and use maps, specifically in the public involvement process in natural resource management....

Foraging ecology, diving behavior, and migration patterns of harbor seals (Phoca vitulina richardii) from a glacial fjord in Alaska in relation to prey availability and oceanographic features

Creator:: Womble, Jamie N.
Abstract:: Understanding the movement behavior and foraging strategies of individuals across multiple spatial and temporal scales is essential not only for understanding the biological requirements of individuals but also for linking individual strategies to population level effects. Glacial fjords scattered throughout south-central and southeastern Alaska host some of the largest seasonal...

The historic and contemporary ecology of western Cascade meadows : archeology, vegetation, and macromoth ecology

Creator:: Highland, Steven A.
Abstract:: Montane meadows in the western Cascades of Oregon occupy approximately 5% of the landscape, but contribute greatly to the region's biodiversity. Western Cascades meadows are dynamic parts of the landscape and have contracted by over 50% in the past two hundred years in the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest (hereafter Andrews...

My journey with preservice teachers : reflecting on teacher characteristics that bridge multicultural education theory and classroom practice

Creator:: Moule, Jean Golson
Abstract:: In the past decade, issues related to cultural diversity and pluralism have risen to the forefront in education. The increasing cultural diversity in American classrooms and communities requires preservice teachers to be ready to promote multiple perspectives within their curricula and among their students. The purpose of this study was...

Effects of scale properties on biodiversity mapping in Oregon

Creator:: Kennelly, Patrick J., (Patrick Joseph)
Abstract:: The effect of scale is an important concern in mapping of biodiversity. Scale issues include the grid cell size used for analysis and the effect of the extent and internal boundaries. Because biodiversity analysis involves combinatorial processes, determining the proper scale is data dependent and cannot be predicted from the...

Structural and functional comparison of human-impacted and natural forest landscapes in the western Cascades of Oregon

Creator:: Pennington, Deana D.
Abstract:: This study compared effects of human and natural wildfire disturbance on age class distribution and associated ecosystem properties of forests in a 15,670 km2 area of the western Cascades of Oregon. The study site is characterized by three forest use types: low elevation, intensively harvested private industrial lands; mid elevation...
