From Perception to Planning : Adaptation in Flood-risk Communities

Creator:: Gomez, Luis A.
Abstract:: This research asserts that flood risk perception of individuals living in floodplains influences their preparedness for taking actions to protect themselves from flood hazards. The results of this research are backed up by quantitative analysis of survey responses of individuals living in floodplains of Corvallis, OR in the USA. The...

Groundwater Flooding and Guerrilla Trenches : a Participatory Approach for Flood Control

Creator:: Kemper, Joseph B.
Abstract:: Residents in South Falls City, a small town in the foothills of Oregon's Coast Range, battle intense flooding during the rainy season. Disagreements about surface water management pit neighbor against neighbor, but preliminary evidence suggests that groundwater flooding is an underlying cause. OSU researchers pair the emerging literature on groundwater...

Multi-hazard Damage and Loss Assessment of Bridge Networks

Creator:: Burns, Patrick O.
Abstract:: The overarching objective of this study is to examine and compare the vulnerabilities of bridges combining effects of earthquake-induced ground shaking, ground failure (e.g., landslides and lateral spreading), and tsunami inundation. A parametric study is performed to understand the sensitivity of economic loss and traffic capacity with respect to the...

The impacts of government market intervention on weed control technology, income and employment : a case study of basic grain farms in El Salvador, Central America

Creator:: Fonollera, R. E. (Raymundo E.)
Abstract:: El Salvador's land resources are intensively cultivated. Labor is relatively abundant and wages are low. This study analyzed the effects of government policies and observed farm price distortions on enterprise/weed control system choices and associated income-employment effects. A regional linear programming framework was employed to analyze the effects of alternative...

Cost-efficient management of aquatic invasive species : application to New Zealand mudsnails in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Lim, Youngah
Abstract:: By affecting the ecological, pecuniary and aesthetic productivity of ecosystems, invasive species (IS) increase production and management costs to business, while straining public agencies' budgets with monitoring, enforcement and management efforts. Understanding invasion pathways or vectors, and identifying costs and benefits of alternative management strategies are critical to public and...

Silvicultural and financial analysis of three case studies in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Rudd, Christopher Channing
Abstract:: Three data sets were examined to determine the costs with and without constrained forest management practices. Two adjacent sites in the Coast Range of Oregon were studied. One of the units was broadcast burned while the adjacent site was left unburned. The stands were projected for growth and yield in...

Log cost allocation for multiple mill merchandising systems

Creator:: Leatherman, Louis M.
Abstract:: Co-located mills that share a log resource through a single merchandising facility are challenged with the task of allocating the costs of joint-products in order to determine log cost for each mill during a given period. While allocating joint-costs is inherently arbitrary, some allocation must be made to include raw...

Dwarf mistletoe control, why and what : an appraisal of the Northern Region control program

Creator:: Dooling, Oscar J. and United States. Forest Service. Northern Region. State & Private Forestry
Abstract:: Dwarf mistletoes exert an impact on forest productivity, but this impact can be reduced through management practices. Even infested stands can yield considerable volumes if proper control methods are used. Projections of future yield increases due to control efforts are made. Cost of treatment in fiscal year 1973 was $51...
