  • (Re)claiming forestry : a case study of women's empowerment

    Creator:
    Redmore, Lauren E.
    Abstract:
    Nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) owners control a significant portion of forestland nationwide. Even though women own or manage NIPF lands, we know very little about how women manage forestland and what barriers women face in forest management. In addition, while there are several forestry organizations available to NIPF owners, few...

  • Bright lights, big city : electrified female desire in Edith Wharton and Theodore Dreiser

    Creator:
    Larsen, Haley A.
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores the electrified female subject in two novels, Theodore Dreiser's Sister Carrie (1900) and Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth (1905). As cultural touchstones, two literary works that prominently feature electricity -- Henry James' story "In the Cage" and Henry Adams' biography The Education of Henry Adams --...

  • Forestry & Communication : A Coos Bay Case Study

    Creator:
    Livingstone, Tasha
    Abstract:
    This thesis combines elements of forestry, interpersonal communication, and rhetoric to describe where residents of Coos Bay and North Bend Oregon obtain information about forests and forest uses, and how they view the credibility of that information. As a qualitative exploratory study, grounded theory methodology was used to develop theme...

  • Error propagation in estimating aboveground biomass using terrestrial LiDAR

    Creator:
    Shettles, Michael A.
    Abstract:
    Broad-scale estimates of above ground forest biomass (AGB) are typically produced by applying individual-tree equations to inventory data consisting of measurements from probabilistically or purposively selected trees. The associated uncertainty for these estimates depends primarily on three sources of error that interact and propagate: (1) measurement error, the quality of...

  • Estimation and modeling of selected forest metrics with lidar and Landsat

    Creator:
    Strunk, Jacob L.
    Abstract:
    Lidar is able to provide height and cover information which can be used to estimate selected forest attributes precisely. However, for users to evaluate whether the additional cost and complication associated with using Lidar merits adoption requires that the protocol to use lidar be thoroughly described and that a basis...

  • Comparison and analysis of small area estimation methods for improving estimates of selected forest attributes

    Creator:
    Goerndt, Michael E.
    Abstract:
    One of the most common practices regarding estimation of forest attributes is the partitioning of large forested subpopulations into smaller areas of interest to coincide with specific objectives of present and future forest management. New estimators are needed to improve estimation of selected forest attributes in small areas where the...

  • Predicting urban tree attributes for major species in urbanized areas of the western Pacific states

    Creator:
    Jeroue, Lacey M.
    Abstract:
    Urban forests are an essential green infrastructure of our cities. Due to the proximity of urban trees to more than 250 million people and the grey infrastructure within United States cities, urban forests are uniquely positioned to provide a host of social, environmental and economic benefits. Careful management that maximizes...

  • Remote sensing of forest aboveground biomass using the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System

    Creator:
    Pflugmacher, Dirk
    Abstract:
    Accurate estimates of forest aboveground biomass are needed to reduce uncertainties in the terrestrial carbon flux. The Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) onboard the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite is now the first spaceborne lidar sensor that will provide global estimates of vegetation height. This study investigated the utility...

  • Multi-temporal LiDAR Analysis of Landscape Fire Effects in Southwestern Oregon

    Creator:
    Hoe, Michael
    Abstract:
    Quantitative assessments of post-fire effects are key to improving our understanding of ecosystem resilience. While remote sensing technology has allowed us to assess post-fire landscape effects, we are often limited by the lack of information related to pre-fire forest attributes. As a result, our ability to interpret fire effects in...

  • Vertical structure and aboveground biomass of tropical forests from lidar remote sensing

    Creator:
    Gonçalves, Fabio Guimarães
    Abstract:
    Methods for obtaining accurate, spatially explicit estimates of biomass density in tropical forests are required to reduce uncertainties in the global carbon cycle, and to support international climate agreements and emerging carbon markets. Three-dimensional (3-D) remote sensing techniques sensitive to the vertical structure of vegetation provide a unique opportunity for...
