Debris flow characteristics associated with forest practices in the central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:

May, Christine L.

Abstract:

Debris flows in the Pacific Northwest play a major role in routing wood and sediment stored on hillslopes and in first- through third-order channels to higher order channels and valley floors. Forest practices on steep, unstable slopes and removal of riparian trees along low-order streams can affect the frequency, magnitude,...

Spatial and temporal dynamics of sediment and wood in headwater streams in the central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:

May, Christine L.

Abstract:

Channels that were scoured to bedrock by debris flows provided unique opportunities to calculate the rate of sediment and wood accumulation, to make inferences about processes associated with input and transport of sediment, and to gain insight into the temporal succession of channel morphology following disturbance. In an intensive investigation...
