A Hydrogeologic Framework for Understanding Watershed-Scale Surface Water and Groundwater Interactions in Western Oregon, USA

Creator:

Hall, Jesse L.

Abstract:

Stream water quality, including stream temperature, has become an increasingly important issue in recent years. Warming streams can harm aquatic ecosystems by pushing fish from traditional breading grounds, forcing them to migrate, adapt, or perish. Recent research from Scripps Institute of Oceanography at UC San Diego has shown that climate...

The role of bedrock groundwater in rainfall-runoff response at hillslope and catchment scales

Creator:

Gabrielli, Christopher P.

Abstract:

Bedrock groundwater dynamics in headwater catchments are poorly understood and poorly characterized. Direct hydrometric measurements have been limited due to the logistical challenges associated with drilling through hard rock in steep, remote and often roadless terrain. Here we develop and use an inexpensive, portable bedrock drilling system to explore bedrock...

Ecohydrologic Connections in Semiarid Rangeland Ecosystems in Oregon

Creator:

Durfee, Nicole M.

Abstract:

An improved understanding of the ecohydrologic relationships in semiarid rangelands is imperative for the development of effective rehabilitation and land management practices. This thesis addresses the ecohydrologic relationships of two significant issues concerning semiarid rangeland ecosystems: western juniper encroachment and increasing stream temperatures. This thesis is divided into two chapters;...
