Creator:: Rogers, James
Abstract:: Three special cases of the resection problem of surveying are examined and solved. The coordinates of unknown points are found with respect to given points in a rectangular coordinate system. This is accomplished in the case of (a) one unknown point and three given points (Snell's problem), (b) two unknown...

Creator:: Yao, Neng-chun G.
Abstract:: The effects of five data processing methods on the accuracy of geostrophic computations are analyzed using hydrographic data collected from a set of 24 hour triangular stations off the Oregon coast. Sources of error are assessed by comparison with an available in situ Salinity/Temperature/Depth record (STD) trace at a control...

Creator:: Norton, Robert Leon
Abstract:: Land use planning, zoning, and subdivisions are integrally tied to the land resource. The need for a land surveyor and for statutes which govern his operation when working in these areas is stressed. A brief history of Vermont and Oregon, illustrating the role of land surveys on settlement, is given....

Creator:: Simpson, Chase H.
Abstract:: Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), also known as drones, are an increasingly popular method of collecting surveying and mapping data. Two common drone-based mapping techniques are lidar and structure from motion (SfM) photogrammetry, and a frequently-heard (yet nearly impossible to answer) question is: “which is better?” The most common metric for...

Creator:: Hess, Daniel M.
Abstract:: Shallow landslides are a prevalent concern in mountainous regions that can result in severe societal, economic, and environmental impacts. The challenge is further compounded as the size and location of a potential slide is often unknown. This study presents a generalized approach for the evaluation of shallow landslide susceptibility using...
