A geospatial data catalog and metadata management tools for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Western Ecology Division

Creator:: Bradford, David L.
Abstract:: The EPA’s Western Ecology Division (WED) had been accumulating geographic information system (GIS) data files for up to 20 years. There was no index or catalog for these files; locating data became more difficult over time. More that 4 Tb of data existed on numerous disk volumes in hundreds of...

Modeling the Environmental Protection Agency's level IV ecoregions within the Klamath Mountains of southern Oregon and northern California

Creator:: Zanger, Christopher
Abstract:: Ecoregions are regions of relative homogeneity with respect to specific ecosystem variables (Bailey 1976; Omernik 1995). There has been an increasing awareness that effective management of environmental resources must be undertaken with an ecosystem perspective (Omernik, 1995). Ecoregions serve as a spatial framework for assessing, managing, and monitoring ecosystems that...

Effects of timing and duration of flooding on phosphorus release in four restored wetlands around Agency and Upper Klamath Lakes, Oregon

Creator:: Stevens, Carla J.
Abstract:: Upper Klamath Lake (UKL) and Agency Lake in south-central Oregon are hypereutrophic due to phosphorus (P) loading from both geologic and agricultural sources in the watershed. Restoring historic lake-fringe wetlands to provide P sinks around the lakes has been accepted as a favorable means of reducing lake P levels and...

Acid stabilization of autolyzed fish : storage and nutritional characteristics

Creator:: Culbertson, Jeffry Dean
Abstract:: The effects of ambient temperature storage on the chemical and nutritional characteristics of phosphoric and sorbic acid-stabilized fish autolysates were determined. Variations in sample composition due to autolysis, deboning, and acidification were also evaluated. Autolysates of English sole (Parophrys vetulus), true cod (Gadus macrocephalus), Dover sole (Microstomus pacificus), and orange...

Judicial deference and its potential effect on agency science and natural resource management

Creator:: Grisa, Amanda Marie Schenk
Abstract:: The USDA Forest Services' actions have come under greater scrutiny by a public that has become increasingly concerned with the legality of their actions. Often, challenges involve the quality of science used in the decision-making. Congress has mandated that the agency use the "best available science" in its decision making...

Evaluation of cathodic protection in reinforced concrete bridges

Creator:: Abooameri, Farid
Abstract:: Steel corrosion in reinforced concrete is a major concern to transportation agencies nationwide because of the expenses incurred for repair and ultimate shortening of bridge life. Cathodic protection (CP), as a remedy, has been applied to reinforced bridges in the US since 1974. However, application of this technique is largely...

Stakeholder evaluation of market based approaches towards managing the adverse impacts of commercial fishing on the marine environment

Creator:: Swart, Brycen
Abstract:: Over fishing, by-catch of non-target fish species, marine mammals, seabirds, and damage to benthic habitats remain serious problems in fisheries management. Management methods based on traditional command and control (CAC) approaches may meet with initial successes yet additional progress is often marginal, requiring managers to implement additional regulations to achieve...
