Aquatics Monitoring in Ashland Creek
Monitoring and Assessing Macroinvertebrates and Stream Habitat Conditions in the Ashland Watershed, Emily Ho’o Kamalani Long, Department of Environmental Studies, Southern Oregon University Ashland, OR, USA. Long's research provides valuable information about possible changes in the Ashland watershed due to the effects of the Ashland Forest Resiliency Stewardship Project (AFR).
Economic Impact of Wildfire Smoke on Ashland Tourism Industry Prepared For: Dennis Slattery & Ashland Chamber of Commerce, Prepared by: Aldene Sumic, Luke Christianson and Arvin Campollo. Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for BA 428: Applied Business Research Undergraduate Business Program School of Business, Southern Oregon University Under the supervision of Donna Lane, Associate Professor/ School of Business Chair December 2013. Research was based on surveys of local businesses and quantified economic smoke impacts from wildfires.

Soil and Slope Monitoring
Analyzing the Long-Term Slope Stability within the Research and Natural Area, Ashland Creek Watershed Shane Stiles, Melody Thueson, Narcissa Pricope PhD Department of Environmental Studies, Southern Oregon University. Maps and summaries of slope stability.
Comparison of the flow hydraulics and bedload grain size distribution of the East and West Forks of Ashland Creek, Southwestern Oregon. Prepared by: Aleece M. Richter. Research on the size of material in the East and West Forks demonstrates that sediment size distribution in the Ashland Watershed in relation to basic flow hydraulics and channel geometry parameters can be incorporated into future assessments of sediment entrainment, transport and deposition as they pertain to water quality treatments.
Legacy Tree Monitoring in the Ashland Watershed with the Ashland Forest Resiliency Stewardship Project. Prepared by: Amie Batham and Janel Lajoie for a Senior Capstone Project, Department of Environmental Studies, Southern Oregon University, Spring, 2014. Research revealed that the combination of thinning and prescribed burn produced the highest tree survival rates and drastically reduced fire intensity.
Valuation of Sediment Loads and Water Quality in Reeder Reservoir Following a High-Intensity Fire: A Market Analysis of Ecosystem Goods provided by the Ashland Watershed. Prepared by: Catherine Bergbauer, Jonathan Cowgill and Jacob King, Southern Oregon University, June 18, 2010. The City of Ashland is dependent on drinking water derived from Reeder Reservoir, which is treated locally. This study quantified damage costs avoided from wildfire and demonstrates the need for action, as this study predicts the costs of no action may be detrimental.
Bergbauer, Katie, Jonathan Cowgill, and Jacob King (2011) Ashland Forest Resiliency Project potential impacts on sedimentation. Class project, Advisor: John Gutrich. Research demonstrates the expected ecological consequences associated with treating the excessive sediment loads.
