Hydraulic control of grain size distributions and differential transport rates of bedload gravels Oak Creek, Oregon

Creator:

Shih, Shyuer-ming

Abstract:

Grain-size distributions of gravels transported as bedload in Oak Creek, Oregon, show systematic variations with changing flow discharges. At low discharges the gravel distributions are nearly symmetrical and Gaussian. As discharges increase, the distributions become more skewed and follow the ideal Rosin distribution. The patterns of variations are established by...

Processes of sea-cliff erosion on the Oregon coast : from neotectonics to wave run-up

Creator:

Shih, Shyuer-ming

Abstract:

Sea-cliff erosion is a significant problem along the Oregon coast in that many communities have been built on terraces affected by bluff retreat. There is considerable coast-wide variability in the rates of cliff erosion. This variability is attributed in part to tectonic activity that is causing differential interseismic uplift along...
