Climatic and physiographic controls on peakflow generation in the western Cascades, Oregon

Creator:

Perkins, Reed

Abstract:

Despite the importance of rain and snowmelt in causing peakflows in the Pacific Northwest, the interactive effects of a snowpack and watershed physiography on streamflow are largely undocumented. This study investigated the influence of soil and snowpack moisture on peakflow hydrograph shape in three small (< 60 ha) control sub-watersheds...

Entrainment, transport, and deposition of large woody debris in streams : results from a series of flume experiments

Creator:

Braudrick, Christian A.

Abstract:

Although there has been extensive research on the geomorphic and ecologic role of large woody debris (LWD) in streams, the dynamics of LWD in streams are poorly known due to various measurement difficulties during floods. In this thesis I present the results of two flume experiments on the dynamics of...
