Giving color to Oregon's gray water market : an analysis of price determinants for water right

Creator:: Landry, Clay J.
Abstract:: Many parts of the West are experiencing substantial growth pressures that have increased the demand for water. These new demands come at a time when most of the water in the West has been fully appropriated by traditional uses such as agriculture, mining, and industry. Some attempts are being made...

Lahar hazard mapping of Mount Shasta, California : a GIS-based delineation of potential inundation zones in Mud and Whitney Creek basins

Creator:: McClung, Steven C.
Abstract:: Mount Shasta, the southernmost stratovolcano in the Cascade Range (41.4°N) has frequently produced lahars of various magnitudes during the last 10,000 yr. These include large flows of eruptive origin, reaching more than 40km from the summit, and studies have shown that at least 70 debris flows of noneruptive origin have...

Nitrogen dynamics across silvicultural canopy gaps in young forests of western Oregon

Creator:: Thiel, Aaron L.
Abstract:: Silvicultural canopy gaps are emerging as an alternative management tool to accelerate development of complex forest structure in young, even-aged forests of the Pacific Northwest. I investigated patterns of nitrogen (N) availability along transects through 0.1 and 0.4 ha silvicultural gaps in three 50-70 year old Douglas-fir forests of western...

Seasonal movement patterns and habitat use of westslope cutthroat trout in two headwater tributary streams of the John Day River

Creator:: Starcevich, Steven J.
Abstract:: Radiotelemetry was used to study the seasonal movements and habitat use of adult westslope cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarki lewisi in Roberts Creek and Rail Creek, headwater tributaries of the John Day River, Oregon, from September 2000 to December 2001. The objectives were to (1) describe adult cutthroat trout life history...

Non-linear nitrogen dynamics and calcium depletion along a temperate forest soil nitrogen gradient

Creator:: Sinkhorn, Emily R.
Abstract:: Understanding how N availability influences base cation stores is critical for long-term ecosystem sustainability. Indices of nitrogen (N) availability and the distribution of nutrients in plant biomass, soil, and soil water were examined across ten young, unpolluted Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) stands in the Oregon Coast Range spanning a three-fold soil...

Do vigorous young forests reduce streamflow? Results from up to 54 years of streamflow records in eight paired-watershed experiments in the H. J. Andrews and South Umpqua Experimental Forests

Creator:: Perry, Timothy D.
Abstract:: This study quantified the magnitude and timing of summer streamflow deficits in paired-watershed experiments in the Cascade Range of Oregon where mature and old-growth conifer forests were subjected to clearcutting, patch cutting, and overstory thinning treatments in the 1960s and 1970s. Hydrologic effects of clearcutting, small-patch cutting, and overstory thinning...

Tree species-soils relationships in old-growth forests of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Cross, Alison
Abstract:: Tree species directly and indirectly affect soil nutrient cycles. I sought to characterize soils and foliage associated with four common canopy tree species (Douglas-fir, western hemlock, western redcedar, and bigleaf maple) in mixed-species old-growth forests of the Oregon Coast Range and to determine whether and how soils differ among the...

Four centuries of soil carbon and nitrogen change after severe fire in a Western Cascades forest landscape

Creator:: Giesen, Thomas William
Abstract:: Fire is a major disturbance process in many forests. Long-term studies of the biogeochemical effects of fires, especially on soils, are very rare. Consequently, long-term effects of fire on soils are often hypothesized from short-term effects. In a chronosequence study, I studied 24 western Cascades (Oregon) forest stands thought to...

Comparitive snow accumulation and melt during rainfall in forest and clearcut plots in western Oregon

Creator:: Berris, Steven Neil
Abstract:: A study was conducted to compare snow accumulation and melt during rainfall in adjacent forest and clearcut plots in the transient snow zone of the western Cascade Range in Oregon. Snow accumulation differences were determined by comparing the water equivalents of forest and clearcut snowpacks. During rain-on-snow periods, energy balances...

A domain-specific embedded language for probabilistic programming

Creator:: Kollmansberger, Steven
Abstract:: Functional programming is concerned with referential transparency, that is, given a certain function and its parameter, that the result will always be the same. However, it seems that this is violated in applications involving uncertainty, such as rolling a dice. This thesis defines the background of probabilistic programming and domain-specific...
