  • Creating a State Atlas As an Integrated Set of Resources: Book, Cd-Rom and Website
    CREATING A STATE ATLAS AS AN INTEGRATED SET OF RESOURCES: BOOK, CD-ROM AND WEBSITE Buckley, A.1, Meacham, J.2 and Steiner, E.2 1ESRI, Inc., 380 New York Street, Redlands, CA, 92373-8100, USA. E-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Geography, InfoGraphics Lab, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon, 97401, USA. E-mail:[email protected] and [email protected] ABSTRACT The original Atlas of Oregon was printed in 1976 and served as a definitive source of geographic information for the state of Oregon for 25 years. The second edition was released in October 2001, and a CD-ROM version was released a year later. A Web site has also been developed to deliver a set of educational materials that draw upon the atlas. Presentation of the atlas using multiple modes of communication creates a suite of integrated materials that can be used for a wide range of applications, including reference, education, research and policy making. In the twenty-five years that span the release of the first and second editions of the atlas, we have seen radical changes in the ways that atlases are produced and distributed. Technological changes have impacted all aspects of the atlas creation process, including atlas design, data collection, map compilation, media production, media distribution, and even communication between collaborators. This paper reviews the methods used for creation of the original Atlas of Oregon, and contrasts those with the techniques that were used to create the Second Edition. We also examine technological changes that have allowed for new mapping opportunities by expanding the modes of delivery to include CD-ROMs and the Web.

  • This Chapter Describes Critical Elements and Resources of The
    PROGRAMMATIC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program Agreement for Oregon U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency August 2009 PEA for Implementation of the CREP Agreement for Oregon EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This programmatic environmental assessment (PEA) identifies the possible environmental consequences resulting from the proposed implementation of the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) agreement for the State of Oregon. The PEA process is designed to inform decision makers and the public about the potential environmental effects of the proposed action and to ensure public involvement in the process. The process will help decision makers take into account all environmental factors when making decisions related to the proposed action outlined in the CREP agreement. This PEA has been prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (42 United States Code 55 parts 4321 et seq., 2007), the Council on Environmental Quality implementing regulations (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 31 parts 1500 et seq., 2009), and Environmental Quality and Related Environmental Concern—Compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (7 CFR 7 parts 799 et seq., 2005). PURPOSE AND NEED FOR THE PROPOSED ACTION The purpose of the proposed action is to implement Oregon’s CREP agreement. Under this agreement, 100,000 acres of eligible agricultural land would be removed from production and enhanced by approved conservation practices to establish and maintain improved water quality and long-term, high-quality fish and wildlife habitat. Conservation practices proposed in the CREP agreement include the planting of grass filter strips, the establishment of riparian and wildlife buffers, and wetland restoration and enhancement.

  • The Oregon Science Teacher / January 2019
    Agriculture in the Classroom, Science Friday Collaborative, Tinkering, NSTA Seattle Area Conference Call for Proposals, Tote Climate Workshop photo by Hannah Wallace/Civil Eats THE OREGON SCIENCE TEACHER / JANUARY 2019 PLANTING THE SEED FOR STUDENT UNDERSTANDING OF OREGON AGRICULTURE We love hearing from the Oregon Science Project about teachers who are doing amazing work in science education across the state. This month, we got a great tip in the form of a blog post written by Dawn Alexander, a fifth grade teacher in Redmond. We were instantly intrigued! Read on to learn more about how Dawn engages her students in science, literacy, and technology through the lens of agriculture. TOST: How did you become interested in agriculture education? Dawn: I was raised on a ranch; as my dad worked on cattle ranches while I was growing up. I was born in Oregon but we spent most of my life in Nevada. I went to the University of Nevada in Reno and majored in Agriculture Education. That was back in the early 80s and there weren’t many female ag teachers and not many programs in Nevada. I started substitute teaching and got a lot of calls for elementary classes. I figured I could teach agriculture to elementary students as most young people don’t know anything about ag! Flash forward, and this is my 34th year of teaching in grades 1‑5. We talk about the need for kids to learn in a hands‑on way, and learning about agriculture is such a great fit. There’s so many careers in ag, and many of the jobs don’t require a four year degree.

  • My Oregon Road Trip: a Mapping Unit
    My Oregon Road Trip: A Mapping Unit Overview: The objective of this unit is to introduce and familiarize students with various maps of Oregon. Students will analyze, interpret and gather information from various maps in order to create their own map of Oregon. It also incorporates reading and writing content standards. Geographic Question: How do you use maps to find information and create new maps? Time Frame: This unit will take approximately 1-2 weeks, depending on the length of class periods and the desired amount of time for students to work on the project. Connection with the Curriculum: Learning Level (5-9) Geography Objectives: By the end of the unit, the students will: ● Know more about Oregon’s geography ● Understand some of the different types of maps ● Be able to use an atlas with different types of maps to find information ● Create a map of Oregon, describing specific features ● Write journal entries describing an imagined road trip through Oregon National Geography Standards: #1 - How to use maps and other geographic representations, geospatial technologies, and spatial thinking to understand and communicate information. #4 - The physical and human characteristics of places. Oregon Geography Standards: 4.8. Use geographical tools (e.g. maps, GIS, Google Earth) to identify absolute and relative locations and physical characteristics of places in Oregon. 5.8. Use various types of maps to describe and explain the United States. 6.11. Distinguish among different types of maps and use them to analyze an issue in the Western Hemisphere. 6.12. Collect and analyze data to describe regions of the Western Hemisphere.
