This study explores the use of predictive mapping techniques in developing Landtype Association (LTA) maps for use in natural resource management. These maps are produced for the USDA Forest Service on a regional basis at a 1:100,000 scale. The goal of this study is to develop and test a method...
The geology and natural gas potential of the Clatskanie 7.5-minute quadrangle in Columbia County, Oregon was studied utilizing a combination of geologic mapping, measuring of stratigraphic sections, diatom and molluscan fossil identifications, with subsurface geophysical data and petrographic and geochemical analyses. The stratigraphy of the study area consists of two...
Seafloor lithologic maps have been widely used to identify conservation sites. In this study, a lithologic interpretation of Oregon's territorial seafloor was created as an interim product in response to the need for a comprehensive lithologic map that will be used in the identification, evaluation and design of marine reserves...
