Paired watershed ecological analysis

Creator:: Fisher, Michael, (Michael Patrick), 1966-
Abstract:: This study was designed to provide a physical and ecological analysis of paired watersheds in the semi-arid western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) woodlands of Central Oregon. Instrumentation and monitoring was accomplished in Jensen and Mays watersheds as the preliminary portion of a longer term project. Instrumentation was designed to address changes...

Lake classification in the glacially influenced landscape of the north Cascade mountains, Washington, USA

Creator:: Lomnicky, Gregg A.
Abstract:: Factors affecting physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of lakes were investigated through the development of a lake-classification system for 162 lakes in North Cascades National Park Service Complex. A conceptual view of lake development and its relationship to the expression of lake and watershed characteristics was derived. Water quality and...

Basins at risk : conflict and cooperation over international freshwater resources

Creator:: Yoffe, Shira
Abstract:: In the policy literature and the popular press, the issues of water and conflict are being raised together with increasing frequency. Geographic, international relations, and environmental security theories speculate on the linkages between geographic features, natural resources, spatial relationships, and war or acute conflict. Little quantitative or global-scale research exists,...

Vulnerability of port and harbor communities to earthquake and tsunami hazards in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Wood, Nathan J.
Abstract:: Earthquakes a . tsunamis pose significant threats to port and harbor communities in the Pacific Northwest. Developing effective mitigation and preparedness plans requires a comprehensive understanding of community vulnerability. Research presented here focuses on the vulnerability of ports and harbors to earthquake and tsunami hazards and includes a regional study...

Drawing, Photography and Digital Imaging: A Comparative Study in Rock Art Recording Methodology

Creator:: Curtis, Gary A.
Abstract:: Prehistoric rock art has intrigued and fascinated researchers from around the world for nearly 300 years. Having once been embraced for its cultural and scientific uniqueness, the study of prehistoric rock art showed promise in being able to open new doors of understanding, above and beyond the written record. In...

Changes in seismic velocity and apparent attenuation due to isotropic and anisotropic scattering : results from physical modeling

Creator:: Dubendorff, Bruce H.
Abstract:: Much work is presently being done concerning small scale heterogeneities in the earth's crust. These heterogeneities range from pores in sedimentary rocks up to fluctuations in the density and seismic constants of the earth's crust with scale lengths of kilometers. The ability to study and quantify these heterogeneities using seismic...

Sediment production and delivery in Pistol River, Oregon and its effects on pool morphology

Creator:: Russell, Periann
Abstract:: Sediment production and delivery in Pacific Northwest coastal streams can have damaging effects on channel morphology and anadromous fish habitat. The research in Pistol River was designed to determine if a link exists between sediment delivery processes and degradation of fish habitat. Objectives of this basin-wide analysis were to: 1)...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Comparison of soil and vegetation map delineation shapes and areal correspondence

Creator:: Bilton, Janet
Abstract:: Map delineations of soil and vegetation for a 14,000 acre (5,800 hectare) site in the Oregon Coast Range were compared. Research objectives were to ascertain the types of information that could be extracted from delineation comparisons and to develop a methodology suited to this purpose. The latter objective was achieved...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

The LizLand model : geomorphic landform and surface composition analysis of lizard habitat in the California Mojave Desert

Creator:: Heaton, Jill S.
Abstract:: This dissertation had three main objectives: 1) investigate the role of macro and micro geomorphology in determining lizard distributions in the Southern California Mojave Desert; 2) develop a spatially explicit lizard habitat model based upon geomorphology; and, 3) determine the interactive effects of geomorphology, roads, and land use in defining...
