The thesis area comprises 53 square miles located in Beaverhead County, Montana, and includes the Argenta mining district. Sedimentary and igneous rocks of the area range in age from Precambrian to Recent. The aggregate thickness of the sedimentary rocks is approximately 13,500 feet. The only systems not represented are Ordovician...
Management of habitat for bats requires sound information on their habitat requirements. I used radio telemetry to identify 80 roosts for 24 long-eared myotis (Myotis evotis); 74 roosts were identified for 21 females and 6 roosts for 3 males.
Females primarily used dead and defective conifer trees (n=22) and conifer...
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between land management practices of Indian communities prior to contact with Europeans and the nature or character of subsequent catastrophic forest fires in the Oregon Coast Range. The research focus is spatial and temporal patterns of Indian burning across the...
Bird conservation plan prepared by Oregon / Washington Partners in Flight containg strategies for the long-term maintenance of healthy bird populations in the Columbia Plateau of Eastern Washington and Oregon.
The influence of anthropogenic aerosols, in the form of ship exhaust effluent, on the microphysics and radiative properties of marine stratocumulus is studied using data gathered from the U.K. Met. Office C-130 and the University of Washington C-131A aircraft during the Monterey Area Ship Track (MAST) experiment in 1994. During...
A first-order approximation is made of the frequency and magnitude of bedload transport downstream of the Pelton-Round Butte Dam Complex, lower Deschutes River, Oregon with implications for salmonid spawning habitat. Field measurements of channel hydraulics, geometry, and particle size were combined with one-dimensional hydraulic and bedload transport models to determine...
Focus on Forestry is published three times each year (Fall, Winter, Spring) by the College of Forestry, Oregon State University. Our goal is to keep Forestry alumni and friends informed about the College of Forestry and its many activities and programs.
