Geographic information systems : some considerations for use in geographic research and analysis

Creator:: Herstrom, Andrew A.
Abstract:: The major considerations for acquiring and using a geographic information system (G..I.S.) for regional or national geographical research and analysis are examined in this paper. After defining what a G.I.S. is, some of the more practical and useful functions of a G.I.S. in day-to--day geographical work are outlined. Finally, the...

Using educational tools and integrative experiences via geovisualizations that incorporate spatial thinking, real world science and ocean literacy standards in the classroom : a case study examined

Creator:: Kinzel, Michelle Rene
Abstract:: The field of geography has been transformed in recent years through the use of spatial tools such as geographic information systems (GIS) satellite and acoustic remote sensing, the global positioning system (GPS), Internet mapping and more. Studying geography and earth science in the digital age now requires a sophisticated and...

A collaborative filtering algorithm and evaluation metric that accurately model the user experience

Creator:: McLaughlin, Matthew
Abstract:: "Collaborative filtering algorithms’ performances have been evaluated using a variety of metrics. These metrics, such as Mean Absolute Error and Precision, have often ignored recommendations for which they do not have data. Ignoring these recommendations has provided numbers which do not accurately represent the user experience. Qualitatively we have seen...

The application of geographic information systems for delineation and classification of tidal wetlands for resource management of Oregon’s coastal watersheds

Creator:: Scranton, Russell W.
Abstract:: Resource managers of Oregon’s tidal wetlands require an improved GIS layer for management of existing tidal wetland habitat and areas considered for tidal wetland restoration. A reconnaissance project was initiated, such that interpretations of remote sensing data, the National Wetland Inventory, Oregon Estuary Plan Book and additional management tools were...

Surface-water contaminant routing using a digital stream information system

Creator:: Broad, Tyson Megee
Abstract:: The U.S. Geological Survey is proposing to redesign its site-specific water-use data base into a topologic site-specific water-use data base that depicts water use as an integral part of the hydrologic cycle. The new data base is to be compatible with the theory of geographic information systems. By placing water...

GIS for Local Wetland Inventories

Creator:: Pizarro-Moursund, Sonia
Abstract:: As part of its management strategies for wetlands in Oregon, the Division of State Lands sponsored a Local Wetland Inventory for the city of Tillamook. Wetlands delineation, determination, assessment, and management are the concern of several institutions which worked together to create the 1993 Oregon Freshwater Wetland Assessment Methodology. With...

Contributions to a Java recommender system

Creator:: Wang, Yun
Abstract:: Identifying the most relevant items in an e-commerce site is becoming more and more difficult nowadays because of the heavy overload of information. A Java Recommender System that uses Collaborative Filtering techniques has been developed to reduce such information overload and even personalize the information to the individual’s preference. The...

Building and sharing spatial metaphors for the Catalogue of Oregon Marine and Coastal Information

Creator:: Cooper, Colin A.
Abstract:: Spatialization is an innovative way to expand searching capabilities for a marine/coastal reference database by using a metaphorical map framework to establish a sense of place for non-spatial information. Spatializing the Catalogue of Oregon Marine and Coastal Information (COMC1), a coastal reference database, enables the marine and coastal resource community...

Geographic Information System model rating old-growth stand significance on the Olympic National Forest

Creator:: Wettengel, William M.
Abstract:: With increased attention being focused on the remaining old-growth forest resource in the Pacific Northwest a way to ecologically rate forest stands is needed to assist the U.S. Forest Service in its management decisions. A Geographic Information System (GIS) model was developed to rate old-growth stands in a 49,500 acre...
