Simulation of storm runoff in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Fedora, Mark A.
Abstract:: Simulation of storm hydrographs in the Oregon Coast Range was explored using the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) curve number methodology, and by developing and testing an antecedent precipitation index (API) method. Standard SCS procedures over-estimated peak discharge by about a factor of two (i.e., average over-prediction of 118 percent). When...

Modeling Elevation-Dependent Snow Sensitivity to Climate Warming in the Data Sparse Eastern Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Cooper, Matthew Guy
Abstract:: In the mountains of the Western US, shifts in the timing and magnitude of snow water equivalent (SWE) over the past century are well documented and attributed to climate warming, but the magnitude of sensitivity depends on elevation. We modeled the spatial distribution of SWE and its sensitivity to climate...

A water balance model for reforestation sites : description and sensitivity

Creator:: Costello, Craig
Abstract:: A model was developed for analysis of the soil water balance of individual reforestation sites in western Oregon. The numerical procedure for this model was programmed in compiled BASIC language and calculations for an entire season are made in about 180 seconds on an IBM AT microcomputer. The processes that...

Modeling surface water and groundwater interactions near Milton-Freewater, Oregon

Creator:: Petrides Jimenez, Aristides Crisostomos
Abstract:: The gravel aquifer of the Oregon side of Walla Walla River Basin has a strong hydrologic connection to surface water through a series of springs, unlined irrigation canals, the Walla Walla River, numerous wells and, since 2004, artificial recharge to the shallow aquifer using infiltration basins. The finite element Integrated...

Use of MIKE SHE for estimation of evapotranspiration in the Sprague River Basin

Creator:: Shakya, Suva R.
Abstract:: MIKE SHE is a fully distributed, physically-based hydrologic model that can simulate water movement over and under the Earth's surface. Evapotranspiration (ET) is one of the components of this model. MIKE SHE uses a modification of the Kristensen -Jensen (1975) method to calculate actual ET. This method is based on...

A spatially explicit model for allocating conservation efforts : the Grand Ronde River basin, Oregon

Creator:: Watanabe, Michio
Abstract:: The spatial and dynamic pattern of landscape changes has a profound effect on the supply of environmental services, including the provision of habitat for fish and wildlife. Spatial heterogeneity is a common feature of landscapes in the Pacific Northwest, most notably in areas important to the production of salmonid fish...

Transferability of models to predict selection of cover by coastal cutthroat trout in small streams in western Oregon, USA

Creator:: Andersen, Heidi V.
Abstract:: We assessed use and selection of cover by coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii) in six headwater streams in three watersheds in western Oregon, USA during the summer low flow period from 1 August and September 30, 2007. We tagged 1037 coastal cutthroat trout (>100 mm) with passive integrated transponder...

A spatially explicit method for determining the effects of watershed scale land use on stream conditions

Creator:: Kehmeier, Jonathan W.
Abstract:: The primary goal of this research was to identify the impacts that individual agricultural land uses have on fish communities in small streams located in the Willamette Valley of western Oregon. The diverse nature of the land use features of the valley provided a challenging but useful system for the...

Calibration and verification of HSPF model for Tualatin River Basin Water Quality

Creator:: Tang, Fei
Abstract:: The Tualatin River Basin is located in the Washington County, Oregon. The river was detected having high chlorophyll a concentration and low dissolved oxygen concentration during summer time, which violated DEQ water quality standards. A mathematical model (HSPF) was used to simulate physical, chemical and biological processes in the basin...

Using Remote Sensing and Process-based Growth Modeling to Predict Forest Productivity Across Western Oregon

Creator:: McAdam, Erick
Abstract:: Accurate measurement of forest productivity is fundamental to understand the carbon balance of forested ecosystems. Recent changes in climate highlight the importance of developing methods to measure forest productivity so that sound economic and environmental decision can be made. Efforts to measure forest productivity across the landscape using remote sensing...
