A method of economic analysis and data required to determine justifiable expenditures for protection of tangible forest values from fire

Creator:: Miller, Charles Wilbur
Abstract:: An attempt was made to determine the justifiable expenditure for the protection of tangible timber values from fire. Upon finding the data inadequate for such a determination, the decision was reached to continue the analysis, determine the data deficiencies, and then make recommendations that would enable these data deficiencies to...

HazAr: Immersive Safety Training

Creator:: Shinde, Akshay
Abstract:: Safety at home and other indoor venues is one of the most important aspects of everyday life. Yet according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), in 2018, approximately 3000 people died in home fires, while 11.7 thousand people were injured. Most household fires start as cooking accidents, which can...

An Agent-based Evacuation Modeling of Underground Fire Emergency

Creator:: Xu, Yue
Abstract:: Increasingly congested surface transportation network in urban areas and grow-ing land values make underground transportation systems more attractive for high-ways (i.e., tunnels) and metro system compared to other options [1]. An underground transportation system can preserve the land above for recreational parks, commer-cial buildings, residential homes, or other purposes while...

Temporal and spatial variability of historic fire frequency in the southern Willamette Valley foothills of Oregon

Creator:: Robbins, Danielle
Abstract:: A crossdated fire history was reconstructed for a 1562 km2 area in the southern Willamette foothills of Oregon, using fire scars and tree origin years from twelve sites. The purpose of this study was to determine fire frequency for each site and to quantify temporal and spatial variability of fire...

Analysis of Fire Severity in Southwestern Oregon Using Aerial LiDAR

Creator:: Wolken, Karin M.
Abstract:: Acquiring, maintaining, disseminating, and utilizing quality data is key to adequate understanding and management of ecosystems. Modern remote sensing technology provides us an increasingly cost effective, unique opportunity for acquiring highly detailed information across every square meter of a landscape. The plethora of data available to scientists allows for use...

Priority evaluation of fire hazard in the Douglas Forest Protective Association district in Oregon

Creator:: Mohr, Francis R.
Abstract:: This study analyzes past forest fire behavior on a selected area in the Oregon Cascades in an attempt to evaluate level of fire hazard on selected vegetational areas. Vegetational areas were defined in five broad classes: Merchantable Douglas-fir Stands, Non-merchantable Douglas-fir Stands, Oak- Madrone Stands, Non- forest Lands, and Non-stocked...

Chaparral history, dynamics, and response to disturbance in southwest Oregon : insights from age structure

Creator:: Duren, Olivia
Abstract:: Fuels management on Bureau of Land Management lands in SW Oregon, USA, is motivated by the needs to reduce fire hazard and restore ecosystems thought to be impacted by fire suppression. Chaparral is one of the most characteristic vegetation communities of SW Oregon's interior valleys, and extensive acreages within this...

Fire regime parameters and their relationships with topography in the east side of the Southern Oregon Cascade Range

Creator:: Foster, John S.
Abstract:: The fire regimes of a 9,000 hectare study area on the east side of the Southern Oregon Cascades are described. Fire regime parameters included are frequency, extent, and predictability of fire return interval. Severity of two fires is mapped by type of evidence. Changes in fire regime due to fire...

The Past, Present, and Future of Fire and Ponderosa Pine Stand Dynamics in the Metolius Research Natural Area, Central Oregon

Creator:: Johnston, Kayla M.
Abstract:: The Metolius Research Natural Area (RNA), located 29 km northwest of Sisters, Oregon, was originally established in 1931 to maintain a ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. Ex Laws) and dry, mixed-conifer forest with the aim to meet objectives of preserving natural conditions, providing for research opportunities, and preserving gene pools...
