Water management in the North Deschutes unit irrigation district : geographic perspectives and remote sensing applications

Creator:: Nellis, M. Duane
Abstract:: The North Unit irrigation District of Central Oregon, a water project developed under the guidelines of the Bureau of Reclamation, is characterized by limited water and the need for efficient utilization and control of the irrigation system. To manage the limited water resource, irrigators need a timely and economical method...

Using remote sensing, in situ observations, and geographic information systems to map benthic habitats at Heceta Bank, Oregon

Creator:: Whitmire, Curt E.
Abstract:: Dramatic declines in many species of demersal fishes off the West Coast have resulted in the designation of nine commercially important species as being overfished. While the causes of those declines are not clearly understood, the fact remains that a paucity of life history and abundance data exists for many...

Using an internet map server and coastal remote sensing for education

Creator:: Bower, Peter A.
Abstract:: An Internet Map Server (IMS) web site was constructed with the goal of helping middle- through high-school students learn about ocean processes. This IMS was developed in conjunction with the activities of the Science & Math Investigative Learning Experience (SMILE) program, and for eventual use with the Oregon Coastal Atlas,...

The implementation of two distributed databases of water-related information

Creator:: Ward, Brian S.
Abstract:: One of the most pressing concerns in the Geographic Information Science community is the distribution of spatial datasets over the Internet. Two projects of the Department of Geosciences at Oregon State University are in the process of distributing data. The Oregon Coast Geospatial Clearinghouse was implemented with the goal of...

The conceptual development and use of ecoregion classifications

Creator:: Brewer, Isaac
Abstract:: This thesis explores the genesis of the ecoregion concept, examines the conceptual development of ecoregion classification systems, investigates applications of ecoregion classification systems for a broad range of purposes, and discusses the prospects for the further evolution of this concept. An ecoregion is an area that exhibits patterns of homogeneity...

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami : tourism impacts and recovery progress in Thailand’s marine national parks

Creator:: Meprasert, Somrudee
Abstract:: The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami raised concern among marine park managers and hazard mitigation professionals about the significant impact of major coastal hazards on marine park natural resources and ecosystems. The main reason for this concern is the strong linkage of marine parks and their rich assortment of ecosystem services...

Spatial interpolation in other dimensions

Creator:: Martin, Peter
Abstract:: The purpose of this work is to broaden the theoretical foundations of interpolation of spatial data, by showing how ideas and methods from information theory and signal processing are applicable to the the work of geographers. Attention is drawn to the distinction between what we study and how we represent...

Sources and perceptions of controversy in establishing a protected area for biodiversity : a case study in the New River Area of Oregon

Creator:: Erickson, Dana C.
Abstract:: The process of land acquisition for the conservation of plants or wildlife habitat can raise controversial issues, issues often perceived differently by the individuals and groups involved. After the land acquisition process is completed, there is rarely an opportunity to analyze the differing perceptions of the issues and their relative...

Soil erosion assessment in the Republic of Cape Verde, West Africa, using a geographic information system

Creator:: Gomez, Sharon N.
Abstract:: Soil erosion is a natural physical process. However it can become a detrimental force when factors such as infertile soils, steep topography and poor farming practices are combined. An important initial aspect of resource planning and/or soil conservation involves locating areas where such potentially hazardous combinations occur in the field....

Sensitivity analysis of the Catchment Modeling Framework (CMF) and use in evaluating two agricultural management scenarios

Creator:: Metta, John W. P.
Abstract:: Abstract Watershed-scale fate/transport modeling of contaminants is a tool that scientists and land managers can use to assess pesticide contamination to stream systems. The Catchment Modeling Framework (CMF) is a catchment-scale fate/transport modeling tool. It was developed to help scientists and land managers assess the effects of possible land-use decisions...
