Foresters face new and evolving challenges as society reconsiders the balance of its interests between wood production and the provision of ecosystem services in the management of forests. Whatever paths this process may take, sound and broad-based decisions will continue to require accurate and relevant measurements of current forest conditions...
The video "Harold Otley AV-Oral History 362" was filmed by Dorothea Purdy & Barbara Lofgren at the Harney County Library on June the 8th, 1994, in Burns, Oregon. A copy of the transcript is included.

Investigations with ram semen were conducted to develop procedures
of cyrogenic preservation that would provide long-term
retention of fertilizing capacity in ram spermatozoa.
An isotonic extender consisting of egg yolk, sodium citrate,
lactose, glycerol, and a broad spectrum antibiotic was selected from
among several extenders tested in pilot studies. Using...
A study was conducted to identify geographical variation in loblolly pine bark and wood properties at the whole-tree level and to quantify the responses in whole-tree
bark and wood properties following contrasting silvicultural practices that included planting density, weed control, and fertilization. Trees were destructively sampled from
both conventionally managed...
The Virgin Valley-McGee Mountain area is located in the northwest
corner of Nevada in the northwestern part of the Basin and
Range structural province.
Rocks within the area consist predominantly of Miocene to
Pleistocene volcanic rocks and volcanic derived sedimentary rocks.
The volcanic rocks include rhyolite, rhyolite welded tuffs, and...
The southern half of the upper Nehalem River basin contains
the most complete section of lower to middle Tertiary marine sedimentary
and volcanic rocks in northern Oregon. Determination of
stratigraphic relationships of six formations, and their depositional
environments and provenance is the chief objective of this paper.
More than 75...
The thesis area consists of 44 square miles in southeast Harney
County, Oregon. The Pueblo Mountains are located in the northwest
part of the Basin and Range structural province, and are characterized
by normal faults of large displacement that produced the tilted fault
block mountain range.
The oldest rocks exposed...
The volcanic rocks of the Harney Basin comprise a bimodal
assemblage of rhyolites (SiO₂ greater than 72%) and basalts (SiO₂
less than 52%). Tholeiitic basalts account for 15 rocks analyzed and
alkalic basalts for three. Most basalts contain phenocrysts of olivine
and plagioclase. Pyroxene phenocrysts were not found. Rhyolite
flows...
