Multi-Centennial Response of ENSO Under Varying Atmospheric CO2

Creator:: Alder, Jay R.
Abstract:: The El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) affects millions of people via global teleconnections in the form of drought and torrential rainfall that impact agriculture and food production in many countries. Yet how ENSO will respond to a warming world is uncertain and a greatly debated topic. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate...

Using a Geographic Information System to identify and reduce uncertainty in hydroelectric-site inventories

Creator:: Ellison, Bradley A.
Abstract:: Power planning efforts in Oregon require accurate information about hydroelectric potential. Potential uses for Geographic Information Systems (GISs) are being investigated by three Oregon planning agencies. This paper presents a method in which a 616 is used to help identify and reduce uncertainty in previous hydroelectric inventories. Uncertainty with respect...

Sparking Engagement in Science Education: A Study on Implementing the Ambitious Science Teaching Framework

Creator:: Migliaccio, Tyson
Abstract:: While student teaching at West Valley High (a pseudonym), I noticed that the teaching style my students were used to didn’t seem to offer students many opportunities to engage with the content and come to deep understandings. Mainly, the class seemed centered around lecture on a topic and confirmatory activities....

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...

Regional patterns of alkalinity in Oregon streams: an overview of ecological regionalization

Creator:: Henderson, Sandra
Abstract:: While many geographers believe that the regional concept is central to geographic study, no definitive regional scheme exists. The criteria considered in each regional study will relate to a stated objective or study. Ecological regionalization is a major contribution by geographers to environmental studies. By examining spatial patterns of factors...

Influence of free fatty acids on sweet cream butter flavor

Creator:: McDaniel, Mina R., Sather, Lois A., and Lindsay, R. C.
Abstract:: A threshold pattern for the even-numbered free fatty acids (FFA) in butter depended on chain-length. Butyric acid had the lowest total average flavor threshold (AFT) of the more volatile FFA, and the total AFT values increased as chain-length increased through hexanoic and octanoic acids. A soapy after-taste predominated at and...

Spatial patterns of anomalous runoff to precipitation ratios for watersheds within the contiguous United States arranged by level one ecoregions

Creator:: Pittman, Jason W.
Abstract:: Mean annual runoff to precipitation (R/P) ratios were generated for 966 watersheds within the contiguous United States. The watersheds were plotted using Arc View GIS and used as part of an overlay analysis with Level 1 U.S. ecoregions. The ratios were statistically evaluated to determine anomalous R/P conditions within the...

Recent policy change in developed-site recreation management in two federal agencies

Creator:: Bradford, Paul F.
Abstract:: In the past 3-5 years, two federal agencies, the Forest Service (FS) and the National Park Service (NPS), have initiated pilot programs in concessioner-operation of developed-site government recreation facilities, specifically family campgrounds and related facilities. These programs have been generally successful by agency measure, and consequently, both agencies have modified...

Benefits of Geographic Information Systems for State and Regional Ocean Management

Creator:: Sowers, Derek C.
Abstract:: The current and potential benefits of using geographic information systems (GIS) to support state-level and regional-scale ocean management in the United States are evaluated. Specifically, the role of GIS in facilitating improved integration of management strategies for a variety of resource use issues across multiple management jurisdictions is examined, along...

The Coburg Wetland Self-guided Interpretive Trail: a case study in environmental interpretation planning

Creator:: Dunmire, Karen M.
Abstract:: The key to developing successful environmental interpretation is sound planning. This paper is a discussion of the principles of environmental interpretation and how they apply to the planning process. The Coburg Wetland is a 21 acre reserve located on the west side of lnterstate-5 in Coburg, Oregon. The city of...
