Will we need to change the rules : assessing the implications of climate change for dam operations in Oregon's McKenzie River Basin

Creator:: Danner, Allison G.
Abstract:: Dams and reservoirs are important components of water resource management systems, but their operational sensitivity to streamflow variability may make them vulnerable to climate change. Climate change is likely to affect the magnitude and timing of streamflow, motivating the assessment of potential impacts on dams and reservoirs. Here I examine...

Hydrology and geomorphic evolution of basaltic landscapes, High Cascades, Oregon

Creator:: Jefferson, Anne (Anne Jarvis)
Abstract:: The basaltic landscapes of the Oregon High Cascades form a natural laboratory for examining how geologic setting and history influence groundwater flowpaths, streamflow sensitivity to climate, and landscape evolution. In the High Cascades, highly permeable young basaltic lavas form extensive aquifers. These aquifers are the dominant sources of summer streamflow...

Aquatic insect adaptations to different flow regimes

Creator:: Yamamuro, Asako Melody
Abstract:: My thesis explored the effects of environmental variability on population dynamics and community composition of aquatic insects. Environmental variability in the form of flow regime in streams can limit the distribution and life-history traits of aquatic insects. I used tributaries to the McKenzie River in Oregon with dramatically different flow...

Public acceptance of disturbance-based forest management : a study of the attentive public in the Central Cascades Adaptive Management Area

Creator:: Mallon, Angela L.
Abstract:: Growing emphasis on ecosystem and landscape-level forest management across North America has spurred an examination of alternative management strategies which focus on emulating dynamic natural disturbance processes, particularly those associated with forest fire regimes. This topic is the cornerstone of research in the Blue River Landscape Study (BRLS) taking place...

Understanding the impact of climate change on snowpack extent and measurement in the Columbia River Basin and nested sub basins

Creator:: Brown, Aimee Lyn
Abstract:: Shifting climate patterns in the Columbia River basin are affecting snow pack, and, as a result, stream flow throughout the region. In the Oregon Cascades, ever growing populations, and their associated activities, place increasing stress on an already over allocated hydrologic system. Political pressures, including the possibility of renegotiation or...

Climate change impacts on mountain snowpack presented in a knowledge to action framework

Creator:: Sproles, Eric A.
Abstract:: Throughout many of the world’s mountain ranges snowpack accumulates during the winter and into the spring, providing a natural reservoir for water. As this reservoir melts, it fills streams and recharges groundwater for over 1 billion people globally. Despite its importance to water resources, our understanding of the storage capacity...

Authorizing preliminary examination of Yaquina River and its tributaries in Oregon with view to control of floods

Creator:: United States. Congress. House. Committee on Flood Control
Abstract:: Report to accompany House resolution 5776. "The floods of 1933 caused severe damage in all portions of the Yaquina River Valley and damaging floods occur at intervals from 2 to 4 years. It is believed these floods warrant investigation with a view to determining flood-protective measures."

Yaquina River and tributaries, Oregon

Creator:: United States. Congress. House. Committee on Flood Control
Abstract:: Local interests had requested reinforcing dikes and dams in the Toledo and Pooles Slough areas, as well as work in the Mill Four district and Boones and Nutes Sloughs. While the Pooles Slough and Toledo area work was rejected, in the name of flood control work on the Mill Four...

Integrating restoration and ecologically based weed management practices for invasive knotweed control

Creator:: Rudenko, Melody
Abstract:: Japanese knotweed is an invasive perennial shrub that dominates riparian ecosystems. Effective management techniques are currently limited to repeated annual herbicide applications and there is little science-based information about which control tactics result in the greatest management success. Restoration of invaded sites to a functioning riparian plant community is needed...

The effects of two fuel reduction treatments on chaparral communities in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Sikes, Kendra G.
Abstract:: Fuel reduction treatments are being applied to public lands, affecting significant acreage at considerable expense. This study compares the short term effects on a chaparral plant community of two different fuel reduction methods, brush mastication and "hand piling and burning" (HPB). Ceanothus cuneatus dominated the southwestern Oregon study sites where...
