Identifying potential groundwater problems areas in western Marion County using a Geographic Information System

Creator:: Beighle, Jackson K.
Abstract:: The main objective of the study was to identify potential groundwater problem areas in Western Marion County using a geographic information system (GIS) and the Oregon Water Resources Department's (OWRD's) well log database (see figure 1). Potential groundwater problem areas were identified based on their mean static water level. According...

Simulating cable yarding costs and production rates : a case study of first thinning operations within pinus radiata plantations on steep slopes in South Eastern Australia

Creator:: Deamer, Philip John
Abstract:: Cable yarding of first thinning size material from plantations of Pinus radiata in South Eastern Australia 15 simuiated using a computer model. Production rates, expressed in cubic metres per hour and production cost, expressed in dollars per cubic metre were derived using the model to simulate cable yarding under set...

Spatial changes in alpine treeline vegetation patterns along hiking trails in Glacier National Park, Montana

Creator:: Klasner, Frederick L.
Abstract:: Sequential aerial photography was used to identify effects of hiking trails on the spatial distribution of subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa) habitat at alpine treeline. Vegetation change over a 46 year period was compared along trails relative to areas without trails, at five study sites in the McDonald Creek drainage of...
