  • Fluvial Geomorphology Analysis of the Kiamichi River, Oklahoma
    W 2800.7 F293 no. T-l9-P-l 6/04-6/06 c.l FLUVIAL GEOMORPHOLOGY ANALYSIS OF THE KIAMICIll RIVER, OKLAHOMA OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE CONSERVATION' JUNE 1,2004 through JUNE 30, 2006 A comprehensive geomorphic analysis of the Kiamichi River, Oklahoma was conducted to characterize the current landscape, fluvial geomorphic condition, flow and sediment regimes, and to identify potential impacts from the impoundment of the Jackfork Creek tributary to the morphological form and function of the river. The Kiamichi River channel has changed little over the last 25 years. It was classified as a Rosgen F type stream and had a basin relief ratio of 0.00345. The Kiamichi River Basin is classified as a Rosgen X type valley. Meander wavelength increased significantly in the downstream direction; the average reach meander wavelength ranged from 11 to 60 mean reach bankfull widths. Bankfull width, bankfull area, width:depth ratio, and channel stability increased in the downstream direction. Although there was no significant change in substrate size longitudinally, the percentage of gravel and cobble substrate increased and the percentage of bedrock decreased in the downstream direction. Bankfull discharge increased in the downstream direction, as expected. The majority of sites sampled were classified as Rosgen F4 stream types. The effective discharge (Qe) at the Big Cedar gaging station was estimated to be 4500 cubic feet per second (cfs) with a threshold discharge (Qt) of 0.1 cfs. The Antlers gaging station Qe was estimated to be 25,000 cfs with a Qt of 3.5 cfs. Deposition bar area below the Jackfork Creek tributary has increased over time.

  • The Relationship Between the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas
    THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF THE AMERICAS AND THE HORSE: DECONSTRUCTING A EUROCENTRIC MYTH By Yvette Running Horse Collin A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Indigenous Studies University of Alaska Fairbanks May 2017 © 2017 Yvette Running Horse Collin APPROVED: Raymond Barnhardt, Ph.D., Committee Chair Beth Ginondidoy Leonard, Ph.D., Committee Co-Chair Theresa Arevgaq John, Ph.D., Committee Member Marco A. Oviedo, Ph.D., Committee Member Michael Koskey, Ph.D., Department Chair Todd Sherman, M.F.A., Dean, College of Liberal Arts Michael Castellini, Ph.D., Dean of the Graduate School Abstract This research project seeks to deconstruct the history of the horse in the Americas and its relationship with the Indigenous Peoples of these same lands. Although Western academia admits that the horse originated in the Americas, it claims that the horse became extinct in these continents during the Last Glacial Maximum (between roughly 13,000 and 11,000 years ago). This version of “history” credits Spanish conquistadors and other early European explorers with reintroducing the horse to the Americas and to her Indigenous Peoples. However, many Native Nations state that “they always had the horse” and that they had well established horse cultures long before the arrival of the Spanish. To date, “history” has been written by Western academia to reflect a Eurocentric and colonial paradigm. The traditional knowledge (TK) of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, and any information that is contrary to the accepted Western academic view, has been generally disregarded, purposefully excluded, or reconfigured to fit the accepted academic paradigm.

  • Rare and Endangered Vertebrates and Plants of Oklahoma
    41# RARE AND ENDANGERED VERTEBRATES AND PLANTS OF OKLAHOMA Prepared by RARE AND ENDANGERED SPECIES OF OKLAHOMA COMMITTEE Assisted by U. S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service 1975 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Preface Map I - Oklahoma Counties 111 Map II - Oklahoma Land Resource Areas Fishes 1 Mammals, Reptiles, and Amphibians 13 Birds 23 Trees, Shrubs, Vines, and Other Woody Plants 27 Herbaceous Plants 37 PREFACE This report has been developed to make the public, as well as public servants charged with land and water management programs, aware of plants and animals that deserve consideration in land use planning in Oklahoma. The list of Oklahoma's rare and endangered vertebrates and plants is designed to augment the United States lists developed by the Office of Endangered Species, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior. The state of knowledge about distribution and populations of some groupings of plant and animal life, for example insects, is not yet advanced enough so that we can develop a listing of those which are endangered. Most of the plants and vertebrates listed in this report are not threatened throughout their range. However, we hope that representatives of all species now present in Oklahoma can be retained as residents. Consequently, Oklahoma was envisioned as an island and any species whose population was in jeopardy within the state was listed, regardless of the species' status in bordering states. Maps of Oklahoma's Counties and Land Resource Areas mentioned in this report are found on pages

(Not all prohibited bases apply to all programs.) Persons with disabilities who require alternative means for communication of program information (Braille, large print, audiotape, etc.) should contact USDA’s TARGET Center at (202) 720-2600 (voice and TDD). To file a complaint of discrimination, write USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, Room 326-W, Whitten Building, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20250- 9410 or call (202) 720-5964 (voice and TDD). USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer. With more than 12.5 million acres of forest and woodlands, Oklahoma is rich in forest resources and heritage. Our forests provide us many things such as clean water, air, shade, recreational opportunities and products which enhance the lives of all of our citizens. In addition the forest industry contributes almost $1.6 billion to our state’s economy each year. This document is intended to provide the reader an overview of these forest resources, the issues these resources face and provide a strategic blueprint for focusing private, state and federal resources to the areas of Oklahoma where they will be most effective.

SHEPARD Norman, Oklahoma 2008 PHYLOGEOGRAPHY AND DIVERSIFICATION OF THE OUACHITA MOUNTAIN ENDEMIC SALAMANDERS OF THE PLETHODON OUACHITAE COMPLEX A DISSERTATION APPROVED FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY BY ________________________________ Dr. Janalee P. Caldwell, Chair ________________________________ Dr. Wayne J. Elisens ________________________________ Dr. Ingo Schlupp ________________________________ Dr. Laurie J. Vitt ________________________________ Dr. Gary A. Wellborn © Copyright by DONALD B. SHEPARD 2008 All Rights Reserved. Dedication I dedicate this dissertation to my grandfathers, Wayne M. Aceto and Donald B. Shepard, both whom died during my graduate career. They were two of the most intelligent, hard- working, and loving people I’ve met. I strive to be more like them. Acknowledgments First and foremost, I thank my collaborators and co-conspirators on this project, Frank Burbrink and Kelly Irwin. Without their help and enthusiasm in the field, in the lab, and with the plethora of analyses and software programs, this work would not have culminated into the high-quality product that I am proud to call my dissertation. For all the death marches and help tearing up the Ouachita National Forest flipping countless rocks and logs for salamanders, I am indebted to R. Bartlett, B. Brown, T. Colston, G. Costa, S. Filipek, D. Filipek, A. Fink, T. Gendusa, T. Guiher, R. Lewis, K. Roberts, S. Ruane, B. Timpe, and the Arkansas Herpetological Society.
