A georeferenced digital image analysis of micro-topographic patterns within the Willamette Floodplain Research Natural Area, W. L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge

Creator:: Anderson, Karen L.
Abstract:: The present day vegetation pattern of the Willamette Valley is a result of a long past of human alteration of the landscape. Beginning with aboriginal burning of the grasslands to present day land uses, the vegetation of the valley has been affected by anthropogenic activity. Wet prairie is a vanishing...

A land use planning application of the Wetland Evaluation Technique (WET) to Jackson/Frazier Wetland, Benton County, Oregon

Creator:: Griffith, Jerry A.
Abstract:: Along with the increased attention in the past two decades on the values of wetlands and the documentation of great losses of wetland acreage has been a growing need for a comprehensive assessment method for analyzing the functions of a wetland. Detailed site-specific study has been the traditional method for...

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...

A spatiotemporal analysis of the correspondence of wave climates and weather events on the Washington and Oregon coasts: winters 1980-81 through 1989-1990

Creator:: Booth, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the characters of winter wave climates of the Washington and Oregon coasts from 1980- 81 through 1989-90 and to compare these spatially and temporally with the occurrence of storm events. Of particular interest is the analysis of wave climates and weather events...

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...

A climatography-based study of aerial reconnaissance probabilities for Oregon's Willamette Valley

Creator:: Spear, Timothy Bryant
Abstract:: The needs and markets for aerial photography have grown steadily with the increasing demands for improved resource management (Kodak, 1985, 2 & Simonett, 1983, 1). Aerial photography within the Willamette Valley could provide researchers and professionals with a broad range of data in disciplines such as agriculture, forestry, geology, and...

Resource applications of Geographic Information Systems: the development of the roads layer for the Siuslaw National Forest

Creator:: Cogswell, Megan L.
Abstract:: The U.S. Forest Service has been actively using new information technologies since the formation of the agency. Currently forests are using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for mapping, data storage, modeling, and spatial analysis. The Siuslaw National Forest has an active GIS with many data layers. A project to correct the...

A point-data analysis of the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) and its relationship to seasonal precipitation in the northwest United States

Creator:: Worley, Timothy J.
Abstract:: El Niflo and La Nifia are oceanographic and atmospheric phenomena that have been catalogued for well over a centuly. In El Nifio years, Peru's otherwise thy west coast is subjected to torrential rainfall. Higher ocean temperatures off the coast are deemed the culprit. Attempts to quantify this began in the...

Analysis of streamflow variability in Oregon for regional water quality monitoring programs

Creator:: Saligoe-Simmel, Julia L.
Abstract:: Streamflow variability can provide valuable information for nonpoint source pollution monitoring program planning. The research papers presented in this thesis examine selected properties of streamflow variability in Oregon to advance its application in regional planning of water quality monitoring programs. The products of this research depict Oregon streams by their...
