The use of riparian open space as an alternative to structural flood control measures in the United States

Creator:: Olson, Thomas
Abstract:: Annual flood damages continue to rise in the United States in spite of massive investments in flood control structures since 1936. These increased losses can be attributed, in part, to the inherent Limitations in scope and nature of traditional "structural" approaches to flood control. Acquisition of flood plain lands is...

Structural Effects of Hydraulic Loading and Drainage of Ecoroofs and Preliminary Consideration of Associated Design Loading Scenarios

Creator:: Thompson, Lucas E.
Abstract:: As ecoroofs have become more widespread throughout the U.S., it has become increasingly important to understand their structural behavior. The purpose of this research was to investigate the load effects exerted on a roof structure with an ecoroof during rain events and the subsequent drainage period, with the intention of...

Hillslope mass movements and environmental relations - Moss Creek, Oregon

Creator:: Stauch, Carola A.
Abstract:: A slide inventory was conducted for a small watershed in the northern Oregon Coast Range. Data on geology, topography and climate were used to evaluate land stability in the Moss Creek basin. As expected, a strong correlation with slope steepness was shown. In addition, failures predominantly occurred on slopes with...

Effects of Woolsey Fire on Nesting Territories of Southern California Red-Tailed Hawks

Creator:: Gao, Jane
Abstract:: The relationship between fire and wildlife habitat is complex. Fires can create favorable conditions for some species and simultaneously extirpate entire populations of other species. Red-tailed hawks choose nesting habitats according to resources available. Natural disturbances such as wildfires change the availability of those resources. In late 2018, the Woolsey...

A hydrological study of the Coast Fork/Middle Fork Willamette River Confluence Area

Creator:: Rogers, Valerie M.
Abstract:: The main purpose of this project is to describe the hydrologic characteristics, with and without regulation by dams, of the Coast and Middle Forks of the Willamette River, including the floodplain, from the confluence to approximately eight miles upstream. The research is intended to assess the future potential of the...

The effects of procedural justice policies for the domestic violence courts in Recife, Brazil

Creator:: Amorim, Mariana Fernandes da Cunha Loureiro
Abstract:: To combat violence against women, the Brazilian government enacted the Maria da Penha Law (MPL) in 2006 and established the domestic violence specialized courts. Based on the assumption that fair procedures enhance the legitimacy of legal authorities and may enhance victims’ satisfaction and cooperation with prosecution, this research aims to...

Examining an Empowerment Framework: A Look at Female Artisans Within a Ghanaian NGO

Creator:: Boyd, Heather
Abstract:: This essay examines the processes of empowerment within an artisan NGO in Ghana. An empowerment framework focusing on the concepts of ‘agency’, ‘resources’ and ‘achievements’ are examined through interviews with women weavers, batikers and seamstresses. Their narratives reveal that a complex set of structural and cultural inequalities shape women’s specific...

Changing federal county payments and rural Oregon counties: analysis of policy impacts and responses from loss of secure rural schools funding in selected Oregon counties

Creator:: Gaid, Dawn Marie
Abstract:: Changes in federal forest management, enactment of environmental policies, recessions and a shift to a global economy dramatically impacted counties between the 1980s and 1990s. In the 1990s, counties began experiencing a shift away from traditional natural resource extraction activities – amidst changing demographics resulting from rural restructuring taking place...

An ecological assessment of riparian land-use regulation, Lane County, Oregon

Creator:: Verret, Gregory Joseph
Abstract:: Riparian areas contribute to numerous ecological-maintenance functions and so are often the focus of protection efforts by land and resource management agencies. The riparian land-use regulations of one jurisdiction, Lane County, Oregon, are assessed for effectiveness in protecting ecological functions. Evaluation of the current condition of five elements of riparian...

Shore protection structures in Oregon : An analysis of demand and the implementation of engineering recommendations

Creator:: Chenault, Carla Diane and Chenault, Carla D.
Abstract:: Stabilization structures are the most commonly used form of shore protection along the Oregon coast. Eighty-five percent of the hard stabilization structures built in Oregon from 1976 – 1999 were riprap revetments. An evaluation was conducted of 143 riprap revetments in the northern three counties of Oregon. Clear trends exist...
