Variation in the timing of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) migration and spawning relative to river discharge and temperature

Creator:: LovellFord, Rachel M.
Abstract:: Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) migration and spawning are unique components of the salmon life cycle because they require synchrony of behavior with other individuals as well as with acceptable fluvial conditions. As with other organisms that exhibit group mating behavior, it is likely that environmental cues trigger coho salmon movement...

The Influence of Lithology on Stream Metabolism in Mountain Systems

Creator:: Cargill, Samantha K.
Abstract:: Physical disturbance in streams has important effects on the metabolic rates of gross primary production (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (ER). Underlying lithology can control sediment size, amount, and evolution in the stream, influencing substrate stability and its effect on benthic organisms. We assessed the patterns of disturbance and recovery of...

Sediment transport modeling and implications for benthic primary producers in Oak Creek, OR

Creator:: Katz, Scott B.
Abstract:: The spatial and temporal variability of sediment transport processes in Oak Creek, OR was investigated and used to explore two study questions: 1) How do sediment transport processes influence benthic algal communities?, and 2) Can fluvial-hydraulic models make accurate predictions of bed load transport rates? Our study was conducted in...

A comparative analysis of stream response to disturbance in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Hodgins-Carlson, Terry Anne
Abstract:: Published literature about six Pacific Northwest stream systems was contrasted to provide a regional perspective on channel response to disturbance. This investigation was prompted by a combination of recent environmental legislation, mounting social pressures to plan projects at a drainage basin scale, and the difficulty in defining and predicting the...

Insight into Western Stemmed Tradition cultural patterns based on analysis of Pit Feature 95 at the Cooper's Ferry Site (10IH73), Idaho

Creator:: McPherson, Gabrielle
Abstract:: Excavations at the Cooper’s Ferry site (10IH73) revealed a long record of repeated human occupation extending from the late Pleistocene into the early Holocene (~16,000-10,000 cal BP) and have yielded unique insights into the Western Stemmed Tradition (WST), which includes. Several studies have focused on WST pit features encountered at...

Present-day and future contributions of glacier melt to the Upper Middle Fork Hood River : implications for water management

Creator:: Phillippe, Jeff
Abstract:: Glaciers are effective reservoirs because they moderate variations in runoff and supply reliable flow during drought periods. Thus, there needs to be a clear understanding of the influence of glacier runoff at both the basin and catchment scale. The objectives of this study were to quantify the late summer contributions...

Sediment transfer and storage in headwater basins of the Oregon Coast Range : transit times from 14C dated deposits

Creator:: Underwood, Emily F.
Abstract:: In steep headwater basins of the Oregon Coast Range (OCR), debris flows episodically deliver material from low-order tributary basins to larger catchments. Much of this material is stored in valleys and gradually removed by fluvial processes. Quantifying the transfer of material from hillslopes to mainstem channels is essential in understanding...

Investigating One-way Stream-aquifer Connectivity on Streamflow Predictions during Hydrologic Extremes in the National Water Model

Creator:: Jachens, Elizabeth R.
Abstract:: Surface water and groundwater are intimately connected by a two-way flux between the stream and the underlying aquifers; a complicated yet crucial relationship to represent in models. However, the National Water Model currently only considers a one-way flux, where groundwater can enter a stream but cannot return to the aquifer....

Spatial and Temporal Landscape Responses to Progressive Tectonic Forcing along California Fault Systems

Creator:: Manopkawee, Pichawut
Abstract:: Understanding the degree to which topography of erosional landscapes in active mountain belts encode the rates and patterns of active deformation in the upper crust is a primary goal in the field of tectonic geomorphology. In particular, the convolved influence of variations in rock mass quality and the erodibility of...
