The Airborne Data Acquisition and Registration (ADAR) remote sensing system captured one-meter resolution imagery of 25 different riparian sites in drift Creek Basin of coastal northwestern Oregon, USA. The multispectral, digital data characterized riparian areas with the intent to develop ecological indicators for long-term monitoring.
The Mixteco primarily reside in the Mexican State of Oaxaca in Southwestern Mexico. They have been arriving in larger numbers then ever before to this part of the North American continent in the last twenty years.Their experience is composed of different dynamics compared to those of their mainstream Mexican counterpart....
PURPOSE: To determine physical, plankton and nutrient/chemical conditions over the continental margin for climate change studies in NE Pacific. In particular, to make CTD and CTD/rosette and net tow stations along 5 lines (off Newport, Heceta Head, Coos Bay, the Rogue River and Crescent City, OR, to deploy drifters at...
PURPOSE: To determine physical, plankton and nutrient/chemical conditions over the continental margin for climate change studies in NE Pacific. In particular, to make CTD and CTD/rosette and net tow stations along the Newport Hydro line, to make continuous bio-acoustic observations between the 50-500m. isobath, and to make continuous observations of...
An average of approximately 200,000 pounds of bay clams were harvested annually in Oregon for the years 1943-49, inclusive. The commercial harvest of bay clams is composed of the gaper, cockle, and softshell clams. The recreational, or noncommercial, harvest of bay clams is composed mainly of the gaper, cockle, softshell,...
Tillamook Bay chum salmon are caught commercially by gill-nets, both set and drift, and from 1928 through 1949 the landings have averaged 819,689 pounds per season. More chum salmon are caught on Tillamook Bay than on the rest of the Oregon coastal rivers combined. These fish enter the ocean only...
The West Fork Cow Creek Watershed assessment has two goals:
1) To describe the past, present, and potential future conditions that affect water quality and fish habitat within the West Fork Cow Creek Watershed; and
2) To provide a research-based action plan that suggests voluntary activities to improve fish habitat...
The Tiller Region assessment has two goals:
1) To describe the past, present, and potential future conditions that affect water quality and fish habitat within the Tiller Region; and
2) To provide a research-based action plan that suggests voluntary activities to improve fish habitat and water quality within the Tiller...
Concerns about the extent to which major Pacific Northwest floods over the last decade might have been exacerbated by logging have heightened the need for a better scientific understanding of the role of forest maturity on snow accumulation and melt. To address this need, a multi-scale field and modeling study...
This paper describes the application of aerial photography and GIS technology to develop flexible and transferable methods for multi-spatial scale characterization and analysis of riparian corridors. Relationships between structural attributes of riparian corridors and indicators of stream ecological conditions are not well established. As part of a research project focused...
A series of stereo photographs displays a range of residue loadings for cleancut units in three general forest types common to coastal Oregon forest lands: Douglas-fir--western hemlock (second-growth), western hemlock--Sitka spruce, and red alder. Postburn residue levels are also represented for the Douglas-fir--western hemlock, and red alder types. Information with...
Large fallen trees in various stages of decay contribute much-needed diversity of ecological processes to terrestrial, aquatic, estuarine, coastal beach, and open ocean habitats in the Pacific Northwest. Intensive utilization and management can deprive these habitats of large fallen trees. The publication presents sound information for managers making resource management...
A fully illustrated key is presented for identifying genera of oribatid mites known from or suspected of occurring in the Pacific Northwest. The manual includes an introduction detailing sampling methodology; an illustrated glossary of all terminology used; two color plates of all taxa from the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest; a...

This report summarizes accomplishments of the McKenzie River Focus Watershed Council (MWC) in the areas of coordination and administration during Fiscal Year 2000. Coordination and administration consist of prioritization and planning for projects; project management and implementation; procurement of funding for long-term support of the Council; and watershed education/outreach program...
