Title: A Geophysical Study of the North Scappoose Creek - Alder Creek - Clatskanie River Lineament, Along the Trend of the Portland Hills Fault, Columbia County, Oregon. APPROVED BY MEMBERS OF THE THESIS COMMITTEE: Chairman Giibett • Benson The Portland Hills fault forms a strong northwest trending lineament along the east side of the Tualatin Mountains. An en echelon lineament follows North Scappoose Creek, Alder Creek, and the Clatskanie River along the same trend, through Columbia County, Oregon. The possibility that this lineament follows a fault or fault zone was investigated in this study. Geophysical methods were used, with seismic 2 refraction, magnetic and gravity lines run perpendicular to the lineament.

  • Oregon's Civil
    STACEY L. SMITH Oregon’s Civil War The Troubled Legacy of Emancipation in the Pacific Northwest WHERE DOES OREGON fit into the history of the U.S. Civil War? This is the question I struggled to answer as project historian for the Oregon Historical Society’s new exhibit — 2 Years, Month: Lincoln’s Legacy. The exhibit, which opened on April 2, 2014, brings together rare documents and artifacts from the Mark Family Collection, the Shapell Manuscript Founda- tion, and the collections of the Oregon Historical Society (OHS). Starting with Lincoln’s enactment of the final Emancipation Proclamation on January , 863, and ending with the U.S. House of Representatives’ approval of the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery on January 3, 86, the exhibit recreates twenty-five critical months in the lives of Abraham Lincoln and the American nation. From the moment we began crafting the exhibit in the fall of 203, OHS Museum Director Brian J. Carter and I decided to highlight two intertwined themes: Lincoln’s controversial decision to emancipate southern slaves, and the efforts of African Americans (free and enslaved) to achieve freedom, equality, and justice. As we constructed an exhibit focused on the national crisis over slavery and African Americans’ freedom struggle, we also strove to stay true to OHS’s mission to preserve and interpret Oregon’s his- tory. Our challenge was to make Lincoln’s presidency, the abolition of slavery, and African Americans’ quest for citizenship rights relevant to Oregon and, in turn, to explore Oregon’s role in these cataclysmic national processes. This was at first a perplexing task.

  • Adapting to Climate Change on the Oregon Coast
    ADAPTING TO CLIMATE CHANGE ON THE OREGON COAST A CITIZEN’S GUIDE A PROJECT OF THE Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition A Citizen’s Guide to Climate Change on the Oregon Coast March 2015 Copyright © 2015 by Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition LINKS TO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: This Citizen’s Guide is intended to serve as an introduction to the vast amount of information available on topics related to climate change effects on the Oregon coast, as well as a sourcebook for citizens interested in helping their communities to begin the long process of adapting to these effects. In publishing the Guide, the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition anticipates that most readers will access and read it online with Internet access or in an electronic format, such as a PDF, which will enable easy access to additional information. The Guide has two parts: Part One, A Primer, presents an overview of the topics pertaining to adapting to climate change on the Oregon coast. The Primer contains numerous embedded hyperlinks to enable readers to click directly to external websites or online PDF documents for additional information. Part Two, Scientific and Policy Considerations, is a set of papers written by Oregon experts in science, law, and policy. These papers, commissioned by Oregon Shores for this project in 2012, also contain references to further information. Although readers of a paper version of the Guide will be unable to directly link to external documents, a list of those external web-based sources at the end of Part One will enable the reader to enter those Internet addresses directly via a keyboard at their convenience.

Palouse Falls, Washington. The Palouse River originates in Idaho and flows westward before it enters the Snake River near Lyons Ferry, Washington. About 10 kilometers north of this confluence, the river has eroded through the Wanapum Basalt and upper portion of the Grande Ronde Basalt to produce Palouse Falls, where the river drops 60 meters (198 feet) into the plunge pool below. The river’s course was created during the cataclysmic Missoula floods of the Pleistocene as ice dams along the Clark Fork River in Idaho periodically broke and reformed. These events released water from Glacial Lake Missoula, with the resulting floods into Washington creating the Channeled Scablands and Glacial Lake Lewis. Palouse Falls was created by headward erosion of these floodwaters as they spilled over the basalt into the Snake River. After the last of the floodwaters receded, the Palouse River began to follow the scabland channel it resides in today. Photograph by Stephen P. Reidel.

This Guidebook presents an illustrated catalogue of local examples of compact medium- and high-density housing. This document provides over forty examples of duplexes, cottages, small apartments, courtyard apartments, and rowhouses that demonstrate the wide variety of housing that exists in Northwest Oregon. While the average household has fewer people than in the past, most housing being built is detached single dwellings on large lots (5,000 square feet and above). The examples in this booklet show that there are many examples of financially feasible, popular, and well-designed housing that is smaller in footprint, more compact in design, and that offer many choices for different kinds of households and families. The homes in this document are found in a wide variety of locations including in large cities and small towns; as part of new multi-acre developments or greenfield; or tucked into existing neighborhoods on lots that are a fraction of an acre (infill).

Hydrostratigraphy of Warren Bench and Surrounding Area, Columbia County, Oregon by Eli Thomas Ahern A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for University Honors Bachelors of Science in Geology Thesis Advisor: Robert B. Perkins Portland State University 2017 Abstract Areas of Columbia County in northwest Oregon, particularly along U.S. Route 30 directly north of the Portland Metro region, are projected to see significant increases in population. However, development in areas not currently supplied by municipalities drawing water from the Columbia River could be limited by availability of suitable water resources. This is a concern for the area immediately west and upslope from Highway 30 between the cities of Scappoose and Saint Helens, a relatively flat area locally known as the “Warren Bench” that seems otherwise well suited for development. Groundwater resources there, and indeed in most areas of the county, are poorly understood and locating reliable zones with consistent and potable groundwater yields has been a challenge for land owners and developers.
