Optimal expansion of a water resource system and issues of water allocation and utilization : Umatilla River Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Lin, Biing-Hwan
Abstract:: In the past decade considerable research in several disciplines has been oriented toward the design of optimal capacity expansion plans for water resource systems. The emphasis of most of these efforts has been directed toward minimization total cost outlays in project planning. This focus somewhat limits the full applicability of...

Forest Soils and Topography : Decoding the Influence of Physical Site Characteristics on Soil Water and Forest Productivity in Oregon's Coast Ranges

Creator:: Rodman, Henry
Abstract:: Forest soils and topography have long been known to influence forest productivity in complex terrain such as Oregon’s Coast Ranges. Incorporating physical site characteristics into predictions of forest growth and yield, however, has been problematic because of the high spatial variability of soil properties and the challenges associated with representing...

Multi-temporal LiDAR Analysis of Landscape Fire Effects in Southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Hoe, Michael
Abstract:: Quantitative assessments of post-fire effects are key to improving our understanding of ecosystem resilience. While remote sensing technology has allowed us to assess post-fire landscape effects, we are often limited by the lack of information related to pre-fire forest attributes. As a result, our ability to interpret fire effects in...

Toxicity of Fungal Pigments from Chlorociboria spp. and Scytalidium spp.

Creator:: Almurshidi, Badria H.
Abstract:: Commercial methodologies for producing fungal pigments are of worldwide interest due to the desire to move away from synthetic dyes. Chlorociboria species and Scytalidium species have been reported to produce sufficient yields of pigments for commercial production and have attracted special attention because of their use in spalted wood applications....

Comparison of screening, evaluation, rehabilitation and design provisions for wood-framed structures

Creator:: Baxter, Preston
Abstract:: Many publications, documents, codes and guidelines exist related to the seismic evaluation and rehabilitation design of existing buildings. This report discusses the assumptions and methods employed for investigation of two wood structures using four references: FEMA 154, FEMA 356, ASCEI per SEI 31, and 1997 UBC. The screening performed using...

Evaluating the impacts of a classroom-based citizen science project on nature connectedness, science identity, and knowledge of curricular material

Creator:: Williams, Katherine A.
Abstract:: Environmental education programs seek to foster an appreciation for the natural world while introducing students to scientific thinking. Citizen science engages non-scientists in the systematic collection and analysis of data. The Betts Forest Landscape Ecology Lab combines both goals by inviting teachers in Corvallis, Oregon, and surrounding areas to participate...

Effective Bonding Parameters for Hybrid Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT)

Creator:: Larkin, Blake
Abstract:: Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a massive engineered wood product made of orthogonally bonded layers of solid-sawn lumber, and is intended for roof, floor, or wall applications. Although it was developed in Europe in the early 90s, CLT is relatively new to North America. CLT products must be certified for structural...

Created Snag Dynamics and Influence on Cavity-nesting Bird Communities over 25 years in Western Oregon

Creator:: Barry, Amy Marie
Abstract:: Snags provide critical habitat for nearly one-third of wildlife species in forests of the Pacific Northwest, so historic declines in snags are thought to have had a strong impact on biodiversity. Resource managers often create snags to mitigate the scarcity of snags within managed forests, but information regarding the function...

Leveraging multi-sensor time series datasets to map short- and long-term forest disturbances and drivers of change in the Colombian Andes

Creator:: Murillo Sandoval, Paulo Jose
Abstract:: The spatial distribution of forest disturbance is commonly calculated using a satellite imagery-driven bi- or tri-temporal change analysis. Working in Colombia’s Cordillera de los Picachos National Natural Park – a region of consistent cloud cover and dramatic topographic relief – a change assessment with such infrequent observations cannot capture long-term...
