A first-order approximation is made of the frequency and magnitude of bedload transport downstream of the Pelton-Round Butte Dam Complex, lower Deschutes River, Oregon with implications for salmonid spawning habitat. Fie ...

The incipient motion of sediment particles in gravel-bed rivers is a very important process. It represents the difference between bed stability and bed mobility. A field study was conducted in Oak Creek, Oregon to inv ...

Maximum equilibrium scour depths, equilibrium scour volumes, and induced equilibrium movements at isolated obstacles on river beds were investigated in clear-water scour. The research was achieved by a systematic flum ...

A technique is developed and tested to analyze the interaction of flowing water, bed topography, and bedload sediment transport in meandering channels where gravel bars are removed. The method relates the local velocit ...

This research analyzes the effects of islands on river process and the effects river processes have on island formation. A fluvial island is defined herein as a land mass within a river channel that is separated from t ...

Prediction equations were developed for estimating the flow regime at ungaged stream locations in the Oregon coastal range. Principal components analysis was used to screen the initial data set of physiographic and me ...
