Looking for Fish of the Right Age : Developing Predictive Modeling for Submerged Sites Using GIS, Salmon Genetics, and the Human Ecology of Salmon

Creator:: Krier, Jon C.
Abstract:: A major challenge to the study of the peopling of the Americas is that much of the Bering Land Bridge (Beringia), the geographic area that people migrating from Northeast Asia into North America would presumably have passed through, is now submerged due to sea-level rise since the last glacial maximum....

Central place foraging and the winter village: a settlement pattern analysis in the lower Salmon River Canyon in Idaho

Creator:: Carlisle, Kendra
Abstract:: Hunter-gatherers depend on naturally occurring resources and, in order to survive, must overcome resource procurement challenges inherent in their environment. One challenge relates to the temporal and spatial availability of resources, which hunter-gatherers address, in part, through the strategic use of space to position themselves for optimal access to necessary...

Food systems in the Marys River region and reinhabitation

Creator:: Burke, Erik P.
Abstract:: Reinhabitation is an approach to building local cultures and economies within industrial society. The food system is a vital starting point. What are the principles of reinhabitory food systems? What are the possibilities for a locally adapted food system in the Marys River region of western Oregon? I describe past...

Urban residents and non-point source pollution : an examination of practices, influences, and values in the Tualatin watershed

Creator:: Nielson, Lisa M.
Abstract:: In July of 2001, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) activated the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDLs) provisions of the Clean Water Act. As the first river in Oregon to implement TMDL regulations, people and agencies in the Tualatin basin face many challenges. Non-point source pollution affects water quality in the...

Colonization, Statemaking, and Development: A Political Ecology of the Saru River Development Project, Hokkaido, Japan

Creator:: Ioannides, Michael J.
Abstract:: Although dam construction has been an integral tool in development initiatives for nearly a century, dams can have significant negative impacts on local residents, particularly those who are permanently displaced from their homes and must be resettled elsewhere. Dams have unique impacts on indigenous peoples. As a result, many dam...

Geoarchaeological research within five river miles of the Upper Klamath River Canyon : use of pedogenic properties to calculate alluvial terrace age

Creator:: Hescock, Sara
Abstract:: Soil is a valuable medium when investigating the past-- from understanding rates of development, landform evolution, to the construction of various predictive models. Landforms and sediments provide insight into depositional environments and soil morphology indicates pedogenic change within those landforms. The rate at which pedogenesis occurs has been quantitatively measured...

Little houses on the prairie : a predictive model of French-Canadian settlement in Oregon's Willamette Valley

Creator:: Kinoshita, Jun R.
Abstract:: Using GIS, this study creates a predictive model of a distinct population of French-Canadian settlers, highlighting shared environmental characteristics of known sites that may have factored into their decision-making process as they chose locations for their farmsteads. While traditional historic and archaeological research has been conducted on French Prairie, the...

Conservation programs from the farmer's perspective : where is the greener grass?

Creator:: Gibson, Jennifer S.
Abstract:: On the national level, landowners demand for conservation programs like EQIP and WRP has far outstripped federal funding in 2001. Yet within Oregon's Willamette Valley, both EQIP and CREP have had a rough time gaining momentum. Much of the past research on rural landowners' conservation participation has relied on surveys...

Diversity at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site : processes of diversification in historical interpretation, visitor services, and workforce management

Creator:: Langford, Theresa E.
Abstract:: Issues of diversity are receiving significant attention within the National Park Service recently, due in large part to a growing awareness that its future as a relevant and viable agency is dependent upon improving its response to and management of diversity. A diversity assessment of Fort Vancouver National Historic Site...

A GIS investigation of indigenous intensification of native food plants : humans as environmental variable in maxent habitat suitability modeling of Camassia in Oregon

Creator:: Elliott, Braden T.
Abstract:: This thesis merges the fields of Ecology and Anthropology by applying Habitat Suitability Modeling to the relationship between people and plants in the Pacific Northwest. In it, I create and optimize two Maxent habitat suitability models for camas (Camassia spp.) in Oregon. The first model describes the physical environment of...
