  • Oregon's Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program : likely participation and recommendations for implementation

    Creator:
    Kingsbury, Leigh
    Abstract:
    This study used contingent valuation techniques to model the probability of participation in Oregon's CREP as a function of the incentive payment and a vector of socio-economic variables. Possible reasons for non-participation were evaluated and landowner preferences for various program components were assessed. Recommendations for program improvement and implementation were...

  • Hinged floating breakwater : theory and experiments

    Creator:
    Leach, Patrick A.
    Abstract:
    An analytical model is developed to examine the response and efficiency of a vertical rigid, hinged, floating breakwater. The boundary value problem describing the flow field yields a well-posed Sturm-Liouville problem which is solved by separation of variables for the velocity potentials. The equation of breakwater motion about the breakwater...

  • The Works Progress Administration in Oregon : An Administrative Overview

    Creator:
    Butcher, Karyle S.
    Abstract:
    The depression of the 1930s had an early effect on the state of Oregon. A decline in timber and agricultural production resulted in severe unemployment in the late 1920s. State and local charitable organizations attempted to care for the unemployed but they did not have the financial resources to do...

  • Simulation of coastal processes in a circular wave basin

    Creator:
    Katzev, David H.
    Abstract:
    The circular wave basin provides a means of physically modeling the nearshore without the typical problems associated with end walls. Three different coastal processes were examined to demonstrate the use of a spiral wavemaker in a circular wave basin. These were longshore currents, shear waves, and groin circulation. A beach...

  • The measurement of nearshore bathymetry on intermediate and dissipative beaches

    Creator:
    Côté, Jessica Magee
    Abstract:
    In 1996, Beach et al. first proposed the idea of mounting an echo-sounder on a Waverunner to measure nearshore beach profiles. This thesis discusses the Coastal Profiling System, an extension of the original work, which has been utilized to measure nearshore bathymetry at selected sites along the coasts of North...

  • Numerical and physical modeling of wave forces on A-Jacks units

    Creator:
    Wise, Larry
    Abstract:
    A numerical model is developed to estimate wave forces on A-Jacks armor units. The forces include drag, inertia, buoyancy, and slamming as the unit penetrates the free surface. The wave force model is used to determine the rigid body motions of the units. Bulk forces on a matrix of units...

  • The Hanford Laboratories and the growth of environmental research in the Pacific Northwest, 1943 to 1965

    Creator:
    Ellis, D. Erik
    Abstract:
    The scientific endeavors that took place at Hanford Engineer Works, beginning in World War II and continuing thereafter, are often overlooked in the literature on the Manhattan Project, the Atomic Energy Commission, and in regional histories. To historians of science, Hanford is described as an industrial facility that illustrates the...

  • Relationships between oceanographic factors and the distribution of juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) off Oregon and Washington, 1982-1983

    Creator:
    Chung, Alton W.
    Abstract:
    Juvenile coho salmon (101-400 mm) were sampled by purse seine off the Pacific Coast from Waatch Point, Washington to Four Mile Creek, Oregon, out to 30 mi offshore, during the months of May, June, and September in 1982 and 1983. Sea surface temperature, surface salinity, surface chlorophyll-a concentration, and Secchi...

  • Size structure and growth rate of Euphausia pacifica off the Oregon coast

    Creator:
    Smiles, Michael Charles Jr
    Abstract:
    Euphausia pacifica lives for a period of approximately one year, disappearing from the catches at a size of about 22-24 mm. Spawning, which occurs mainly inshore, extends from June through December but generally is most prominent in the autumn months. Average growth is calculated to be approximately 2.0 mm per...

  • Swimbladder morphology and buoyancy of Northeastern Pacific myctophids

    Creator:
    Butler, John Lawton
    Abstract:
    Of the common adult lanternfishes found off Oregon, two species have fat-invested swimbladders (Stenobrachius leucopsarus Eigenmann and Eigenmann 1890 and Stenobrachius nannochir Gilbert 1891), two species have reduced swimbladders (Lampanyctus ritteri Gilbert 1915 and Lampanyctus galis Gilbert 1891), two species have gas-filled swimbladders ((Protomyctophum thomp soni (Chapman 1944)) and (Protomyctophum...
