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...
This study was designed and implemented to observe
the spatial and temporal dynamics of groundwater levels
and temperatures adjacent to a beaver pond in semi-arid
central Oregon. The study site was located on the eastern
boundary of Painted Hills National Monument along Bridge
Creek, a tributary to the John Day...
Dimensional characteristics of 44 beaver dams and ponds on Kuiu Island in Southeast Alaska were determined to evaluate the hydrologic effects of these structures on peak flows. The study area consisted of low gradient, incised streams in broad U-shaped valleys. Pond routing simulations were conducted using four return intervals (2-,...
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...
