Creator:: Edwards, Richard Earl
Abstract:: Sediment transport measurements on Flynn Creek, a headwater stream in the Oregon Coast Range, have illustrated the magnitude of fluvial transfer processes, primarily of the bedload component, during a moderate storm runoff season (1979 water year). The total dissolved solids concentration of storm runoff averaged 40 mg/L, and was independent...

Creator:: Ringer, Gina O.
Abstract:: Through the trapping of sediment behind dams, the presence of beaver in a watershed may cause substantial changes to fluvial and geomorphic processes. In an effort to investigate sedimentation patterns in beaver ponds in the Oregon Coast Range, a case study was made of the annual accumulation of sediment in...

Creator:: Amann, Joseph R.
Abstract:: Unpaved roads are sources of chronic sediment in forested watersheds. Bare soil on roads is exposed to erosion from rainfall and runoff Published research on sediment production from forest roads focuses primarily on road characteristics. Since water drives the mechanics of sediment transport, hydrologic variables should correlate with sediment production....

Creator:: Larson, Keith R.
Abstract:: Sediment yield increases following timber harvest and road construction were predicted for four Pacific Northwest experimental watersheds. Sediment yields were predicted using a handbook developed by the U.S. Forest Service entitled, "An Approach to Water Resources Evaluation of Non-Point Silvicultural Sources" (WRENS). Predicted sediment yield increases varied from 40 to...

Abstract:: Esmond Creek is a tributary to the Siuslaw River located in the Oregon Coast Range. It is 18 km in length and drains a watershed area is 48.9 km². Average channel gradient of the study reach is 0.9%. In 1988 a landslide occurred in the Esmond Creek watershed involving approximately...

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...
