  • Simulation of storm runoff in the Oregon Coast Range

    Creator:
    Fedora, Mark A.
    Abstract:
    Simulation of storm hydrographs in the Oregon Coast Range was explored using the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) curve number methodology, and by developing and testing an antecedent precipitation index (API) method. Standard SCS procedures over-estimated peak discharge by about a factor of two (i.e., average over-prediction of 118 percent). When...

  • Water residence time and runoff generation in the western Cascades of Oregon

    Creator:
    McGuire, Kevin J.
    Abstract:
    The age, or residence time of water is a fundamental descriptor of catchment hydrology, revealing information about the storage, flow pathways and source of water in a single integrated measure. While there has been tremendous recent interest in residence time to characterize catchments, there are few studies that quantify residence...

  • Measurement and modeling the physical controls of snowmelt in the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Mazurkiewicz, Adam B.
    Abstract:
    The physical controls of snowmelt in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are poorly understood. While there have been numerous field and modeling investigations at the plot and watershed scale, few studies have identified how the snow energy balance (EB) components vary in importance both spatially and temporally. The identification of how...

  • Reducing sediment production from forest roads during wet-weather use

    Creator:
    Toman, Elizabeth Myers
    Abstract:
    Forest roads produce fine sediment with traffic during wet weather. If the forest road is connected to a stream it can be a source of turbidity and fine sediment that may be detrimental to aquatic organisms especially salmonids. The goal of this work was to investigate turbid runoff during wet-weather...
