This plan will not be legally binding in any way; its role is to be viewed as a working document that serves as a planning tool for the fire and land managers of Baker County (see the Promulgation Statement on p. i and the Signature Page on p. ii of...
ENTOMOLOGISTS, BOTANISTS, and AGRICULTURISTS all
have occasion to concern themselves with bees. The en-tomologist is fascinated by their complex behavior pat-terns, the botanist needs to evaluate their significance infloral biology, and the agriculturist must take them into account as vital factors in crop production. Finally, the apiculturist often wishes to...
The Jordan/Alder Watershed is a 2,459-acre watershed located in southwest Oregon immediately west of Canyonville in Douglas County. This watershed--a portion of the O'Shea Creek HUC6, or sixth-field watershed--lies within the bounds of the South Umpqua River HUC5, or fifth-field watershed. Jordan Creek is a tributary to the South Umpqua...
WRRI 106 is placeholder for the research findings of Project No. G-928-03 funded by U.S. Dept. of the Interior, Geological Survey. Findings are available in Piehl, Bradley T. (1986) An evaluation of culverts on low volume forest roads in the Oregon Coast Range (Masters Thesis, Oregon State University. Forest Engineering)...
This symposium was arranged and conducted in cooperation with the Research and Products Committee of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, 1319 Eighteenth St., N.W., Washington 6, D.C. The purpose was to bring together a group of approximately 100 individuals broadly representing various phases of the wood industry, the present wood...
This folder includes a letter to Congressman Dicks regarding a request for funds to implement the passage of H.R. 4828, the Steens Mountain Cooperative Management and Protection Act.
Letter from federally-recognized treaty fishing tribes of the Columbia River Basin to Darlene Hooley requesting continued funding for the Fish Passage Center.
The Tumalo quadrangle lies approximately 30 kilometers behind the Cascade volcanic arc and marks the southernmost extent of continuously exposed Deschutes Formation rocks. Deschutes Formation rocks in the
Tumalo quadrangle include late Miocene volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks, ignimbrites and lapillistones, and late Miocene to early
Pliocene basalts and basaltic andesites. Volcaniclastic...
The Whitewater River area is located directly east of Mt. Jefferson in the Cascades of central Oregon. Approximately 90 mi2 (230 km2) were mapped (scale 1/24,000) and four new K-Ar ages and 151 major element analyses were obtained in a study of the stratigraphic
and magmatic transition from the Miocene...
During Early and Middle Devonian time, the main part of the Death Valley area was characterized by shallow marine shelf position. In the extreme western part, deposition took place in carbonate slope environments. Early and Middle Devonian eastern platform dolomites, represented by uppermost Hidden Valley Dolomite and lower Lost Burro...
About 225 lava flows and ash-flow tuffs of the Deschutes Formation (DF) were mapped at Green Ridge. The units fill east-trending paleovalleys which "sky-out" westward and dip east; the eastward dip of the units decreases
as they are traced eastward. The source of the units was west of Green Ridge...
Geologic mapping of the Longview-Kelso area and the measurement and description of a composite 650-meter thick stratigraphic section of the Cowlitz Formation (Tc) in Coal Creek using bio-, magneto-, litho-, and sequence stratigraphy reveals a complex interplay of Cowlitz micaceous, lithic arkosic shelf to tidal/estuarine to delta
plain facies associations,...
We designed an experiment to see if turbulence induced by shear instability
could be a mechanism. Using equipment readily available we completed
an experiment from the Ice Island T-3. A sensor array of current meters
and thermistors (described later on) was suspended beneath the sea ice of
Colby Bay, T-3,...
Various methods of presenting and mathematically describing particle
size distribution are explained and evaluated. The hyperbolic
distribution is found to be the most practical but the more complex
characteristic vector analysis is the most sensitive to changes in
the shape of the particle size distributions.
Particle size distribution, nutrient concentrations,...
This report comprises one part of a final report to the Alumax Pacific Aluminwn Corporation on the "Physical, Chemical and Biological Studies of Youngs Bay". The data reported herein are the product of the geochemical baseline section of the project.
The primary objectives of the geochemical study were:
1) to...
The analytical method employed for the Total Organic Carbon (TOC)
project in the Geochemical Ocean Sections Study (GEOSECS) is described
in detail. The method generally follows that of Menzel and Vaccaro as
modified by several subsequent workers including the GEOSECS group at
Oregon State University which carried out the TOC...
Spectral beam attenuation coefficients, spectral volume scattering
function meaurements at 45°, 90°, and 130° particle size distributions
and chlorophyll a and phaeophytin pigment concentrations were measured during
May and September, 1977 in Monterey Bay, California. This data is examined
and statistical interrelationships between the parameters measured are
explored.
It was...
This report presents progress accomplished during the 20-month period from 1 July 1972 through 31 March 1974 as part of the program "Ecological Studies of Radioactivity in the Columbia River Estuary and Adjacent Pacific Ocean". This program is a continuing study supported by the Division of Biomedical and Environmental Research...
Bayocean sand spit lies along the northern Oregon coast
approximately 70 miles south of the Columbia River. Work was
begun on the construction of a large recreational resort on the spit
in the early 1900's. At the outset, the resort appeared to have a
promising future. However, a three-year delay...
This report represents the progress in "Ecological and Radioecological
Studies in the Columbia River Estuary and Adjacent Pacific
Ocean" for the period 1 April 1975 through 31 March 1976. This research
has been supported with funds from the Division of Biomedical and
Environmental Research, U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration...
This investigation has been carried out primarily to define the Columbia
River bar crossing problem, to determine the physical factors involved in
hazardous transit developments, and to develop a method for predicting
hazardous bar transit conditions sufficiently in advance to allow proper
safety precautions to be effected.
Actual records of...
