Identifying "at-risk" regions of snow accumulation within California's Sierra Nevada Mountains, and assessing implications on reservoir operations

Creator:

Kalyan, Imtiaz-Ali M.

Abstract:

California's water resources vary throughout the state owing to the regions varying topography, diverse climate, and the distribution of precipitation. Most of the state's precipitation falls over the northern coastal range and the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Winter snowpack that accumulates within these mountain basins serves as...

Tidal influence on downstream fining in gravel-bed rivers

Creator:

Coles, Derron Rafiq

Abstract:

This research examines the downstream fining phenomenon as it operates in coastal gravel-bed rivers of Oregon. Downstream fining is a change in bed composition toward smaller sediment sizes in the downstream direction. Changes in stream flow discharge and channel slope affect the rate of bed-load transport, thereby altering the downstream...
