Streambed scour and redeposition behavior in streambed simulated culverts over an annual period

Creator:

Stewart, Anna

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to provide first order observations of bed level changes occurring in streambed simulated culverts throughout an annual period. To accomplish this, 30 culvert sites were selected in Oregon and Washington, and monitored over, at least, a 2 year period. Streambed scour and redeposition data...

Reducing sediment production from forest roads during wet-weather use

Creator:

Toman, Elizabeth Myers

Abstract:

Forest roads produce fine sediment with traffic during wet weather. If the forest road is connected to a stream it can be a source of turbidity and fine sediment that may be detrimental to aquatic organisms especially salmonids. The goal of this work was to investigate turbid runoff during wet-weather...

Opportunities and challenges for decision support systems in log truck scheduling and dispatching

Creator:

Kokenge, Kyler S.

Abstract:

The transportation of logs from the forest to the mill accounts for 25-50% of the delivered cost of wood, depending mostly on haul distance. Decision support systems (DSS) for log truck scheduling and dispatching have the potential to reduce transportation costs by optimally constructing routes, also known as schedules for...
