Creator:: Rogers, James
Abstract:: Three special cases of the resection problem of surveying are examined and solved. The coordinates of unknown points are found with respect to given points in a rectangular coordinate system. This is accomplished in the case of (a) one unknown point and three given points (Snell's problem), (b) two unknown...

Creator:: Yao, Neng-chun G.
Abstract:: The effects of five data processing methods on the accuracy of geostrophic computations are analyzed using hydrographic data collected from a set of 24 hour triangular stations off the Oregon coast. Sources of error are assessed by comparison with an available in situ Salinity/Temperature/Depth record (STD) trace at a control...

Creator:: Norton, Robert Leon
Abstract:: Land use planning, zoning, and subdivisions are integrally tied to the land resource. The need for a land surveyor and for statutes which govern his operation when working in these areas is stressed. A brief history of Vermont and Oregon, illustrating the role of land surveys on settlement, is given....

Creator:: Simpson, Chase H.
Abstract:: Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), also known as drones, are an increasingly popular method of collecting surveying and mapping data. Two common drone-based mapping techniques are lidar and structure from motion (SfM) photogrammetry, and a frequently-heard (yet nearly impossible to answer) question is: “which is better?” The most common metric for...

Creator:: Hess, Daniel M.
Abstract:: Shallow landslides are a prevalent concern in mountainous regions that can result in severe societal, economic, and environmental impacts. The challenge is further compounded as the size and location of a potential slide is often unknown. This study presents a generalized approach for the evaluation of shallow landslide susceptibility using...

Creator:: Havercroft, Francine M.
Abstract:: During the summer of 1981, Oregon State University archaeologically tested three prehistoric sites on the William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge. Among the sites tested were typical Willamette Valley floodplain and adjacent upland sites. Most settlement-subsistence pattern models proposed for the Willamette Valley have been generated with data from the...

Creator:: Kelly, Cara McCulley
Abstract:: This thesis examines prehistoric land use patterns of the entire North Santiam subbasin, located on the western slopes of the Oregon Cascade Range. The objective of this analysis is three-fold: 1) to contribute to reconstructing the cultural chronology of the area; 2) to address the use of raw material by...
