This document is one of a series of research reports prepared by Oregon State University during the 197Os which focuses on the field burning problem of Oregon's Willamette Valley. The purpose of such research efforts is to assist both the private and public sectors of Oregon in identifying technically feasible,...

The purposes of this thesis are; (a) the presentation of authentic data concerning the Chemawa Indian School from its establishment at Forest Grove, Oregon, in 1880 to the present time at Chemawa, Oregon; (b) the recording of some of the significant information concerning the school's growth; and to) an effort...
As a key factor contributing to slope stability, in-stream habitat for aquatic species (e.g., salmonids), nutrient cycling, and corridors for upland species, riparian vegetation and its maintenance is of critical conservation importance. Subsequently, the chronic degradation of aquatic and riparian ecosystems in the semi-arid and arid landscapes of the western...
The purpose of this thesis is to apply the wavelet transform WT to
multiresolution structures for analyzing the information content of images based on
multiresolution signal decomposition of the wavelet representation. The advantage
of the wavelet transform is the fact that it uses different building blocks than the
Fourier's sines...
Wavelet analysis is an analytical and modeling tool for optimizing sampling efficiency and accuracy, particularly in the context of designing long-term, large-scale monitoring plans. As a pattern analysis method that accommodates and preserves non-stationarity, wavelet analysis provides novel visualization and analytical capabilities for increased insight into interactions between multi-scalar heterogeneous...
In volcanic systems, magma is generally stored in the shallow crust prior to eruption. The conditions of this storage directly impact whether the magma eventually erupts, or crystallizes within the crust to form a pluton. In this dissertation I present four studies that investigate the storage conditions of a number...
