A map enhancement for terrain visualization under Night Vision Goggle compatible lighting systems

Creator:: Thompson, Wiley C.
Abstract:: For the Army aviator, Night Vision Goggle (NVG) flight in the tactical rotarywing profile is a very demanding, task saturated environment. Map navigation is just one of the many tasks that must be accomplished during flight. The dim, monochromatic lighting required for NVG flight alters map colors, decreases image detail...

Monitoring sand dune processes at the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area : can pre-vegetated conditions be restored?

Creator:: Mitteager, Wendy Ann
Abstract:: The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area is managed by the Siuslaw Forest division of the United States Forest Service (USFS). This area has gradually been overcome by vegetation since the 1950's, originating with the exotic European Beach Grass (Ammophila arenaria). The invasion of this exotic vegetation has resulted in a...

Using Data Loss and Duplication Maps to study data use associated with nearest-neighbor resampling

Creator:: Perigny, Mathew
Abstract:: Nearest-neighbor resampling is a common procedure used by cartographers to reproject raster data sets. This type of resampling is useful because it retains the data from the original raster data set. However, during nearest-neighbor resampling some of the original data will be lost as it is reprojected, while other data...

Locating villages in the floods : the use of RADARSAT imagery in the flood hazard management in Bangladesh

Creator:: Petry, Heather N.
Abstract:: Bangladesh lies almost entirely on the delta of three major rivers: the Padma (the Ganges), the Jamuna (the Brahmaputra), and the Meghna. A considerable portion of Bangladesh has been repeatedly devastated by floods associated with cyclonic storm surges along its coastal islands and riverine flooding along the rivers traversing the...

Mapping the potential acidic deposition in southwestern California using ambient air concentrations of acid precursors

Creator:: Doherty, David D.
Abstract:: Attempts to map the distribution of acidic deposition have been inadequate, particularly in areas of seasonal or limited rainfall. Ambient air concentrations of acid precursors may be used to monitor and map the distribution of potential acidic deposition. A network of stations in California currently monitor these ambient air concentrations....

Areal distribution, change, and restoration potential of wetlands within the lower Columbia River riparian zone, 1948-1991

Creator:: Allen, Tracy Hunter
Abstract:: The lower Columbia River (LCR) riparian zone is rich in habitat diversity. However, the natural beauty and species diversity along the river have increasingly become affected by human activity. This study quantifies the areal extent and degree of wetlands change and associated causes along the LCR over the past 44...

Evaluation of seismic hazards from the Median Tectonic Line, Japan and blind thrust faults in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, California

Creator:: Tsutsumi, Hiroyuki
Abstract:: This thesis analyzes active geologic structures in densely populated areas in Japan and southern California based on geological, geophysical, and paleoseismological observations. Chapter 2 discusses segmentation and paleoseismology of the Median Tectonic Line, Japan. We identified 12 geometric segments along the Median Tectonic Line separated by discontinuities such as en...

Effects of cork oak (Quercus suber L.) canopy cover on seasonal herbage production, foliar cover, and nutritive quality in the Mamora National Forest of Morocco

Creator:: Ibnattya, Abdelhai Andaloussi
Abstract:: This research was conducted in the Mamora National Forest of Morocco to: (1) Evaluate the effect of cork oak (Quercus suber L.) crown cover on seasonal herbage production, nutritive quality, and foliar cover on two distinctive sites in each of two years (1982, 1983) and to (2) assess the effects...

Assessment of impacts of Canada geese on wheat production

Creator:: Louhaichi, Mounir
Abstract:: Numbers of wild Canada geese (Branta canadensis) have increased dramatically during the past 30 years in the lower Columbia and Willamette Valley systems. The damage they cause by grazing and trampling plants can be substantial. The objectives of this research were to: 1) Develop methods that provide reliable estimates of...

Origins of the old-growth forest conflict (1971-1989) : a new model for resource allocation

Creator:: Wilson, Mark Shelton
Abstract:: The old-growth forest conflict is part of the evolving debate over how to use the federal public lands. This study documents the origins and development of the old-growth issue through 1989. The controversy began in the early 1970s when scientists initiated studies of old-growth forests and northern spotted owls, and...
