Item access-status.open.access.listelement.badge Recent Movements in Oregon Towards Conservation and Development of Natural Reseources(University of Oregon, 1943-05) Martin, VivianIn studying the recent movements in this state towards conservation and development of natural resources, I was primarily interested in determining what has been accomplished, what methods were used, what the results are to date, and what should be done in the future. As a guide in organizing the scattered bits of data now available in each of the special fields concerned, I attempted to answer the following set of questions: 1.What is the relationship between conservation and development? 2.Why should they be parallel in any unified plan of action? 3.What are the causes and effects of conservation and development economically and culturally? 4.What basic resources are available in this state? Where? 5.Which resources are being improperly handled, neglected, or overlooked? 6.What forces, both human and natural, are wasting our resources? 7.What is the role of planning in the past, present, and future of Oregon? 8.What function should general education have? 9.What agencies have been or are taking part in both planning and active work? 10.What new methods could be practically applied? 11.What is the function of business in relation to conservation?Item access-status.open.access.listelement.badge Re-examining Shoreline Elevations at Ancient Lake Chewaucan in Central Oregon, USA(2019-06) Kendrick, BriannaThe Chewaucan Basin in Eastern Oregon provides a unique environment for pluvial lake geomorphology research, as lake oscillations in the last 30,000 years have formed shoreline features that wrap around the basin. Over the last century, multiple scholars have published works describing shorelines of the ancient lakes using various elevation data collection methods, including USGS topographic maps, Digital Elevation Models, and survey equipment. By revisiting accessible shoreline sites and measuring elevations using a TopCon RTK GPS I found that topographic maps vary between 0.2 and 11 meters off and Digital Elevation Models, which are developed using the historical topographic maps, vary in accuracy between 2.5 and 12.25 meters, when compared to the TopCon measurements. These discrepancies reveal that historical elevation data needs to be evaluated when studying the geomorphology and other issues in the basin.
