A Spatial Model of Land Use Change for Western Oregon and Western Washington

Kline, Jeffrey D.; Alig, Ralph J. 2001. A spatial model of land use change for western Oregon and western Washington. Res. Pap. PNW-RP-528. Portland, OR: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station. 24 p. We developed an empirical model describing the probability that forests and farmland in western Oregon and western Washington were developed for resident...

The earliest annelids: Lower Cambrian polychaetes from the Sirius Passet Lagerstätte, Peary Land, North Greenland

Apart from the Phyllopod Bed of the Burgess Shale (Middle Cambrian) polychaete annelids are practically unknown from any of the Cambrian Lagerstätten. This is surprising both because their diversity in the Burgess Shale is considerable, while to date the Chengjiang Lagerstätte which is equally impressive in terms of faunal diversity has no reliable records of any annelids. Here we describe, on ...

Subsurface Facies Analysis of the Late Cambrian Mt. Simon Sandstone in Western Ohio (Midcontinent North America)

The Cambrian Mt. Simon Sandstone (MSS) is a possible unconventional gas reservoir in the Illinois, Michigan, and Appalachian Basins, but comparatively little is known about the unit. This study used core and well logs from two deep exploratory wells to interpret the depositional environment of the MSS under western Ohio, where the MSS is about 120 m thick and found 1060 m below ground surface. ...

Evaluating Satellite Imagery–Based Land Use Data for Describing Forestland Development in Western Washington

and commodity production, agriculture, and residential and other development. Although land cover sometimes can indicate land use (e.g., forest versus development), it is often not a good indicator of whether existing forestland is managed for timber and other forest commodity production. What would be useful is a cost-effective way to obtain data specifically designed to address the informatio...
