Measurement and modeling the physical controls of snowmelt in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:

Mazurkiewicz, Adam B.

Abstract:

The physical controls of snowmelt in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are poorly understood. While there have been numerous field and modeling investigations at the plot and watershed scale, few studies have identified how the snow energy balance (EB) components vary in importance both spatially and temporally. The identification of how...

An evaluation of a procedure for predicting sediment yield increases from silivicultural activities

Creator:

Larson, Keith R.

Abstract:

Sediment yield increases following timber harvest and road construction were predicted for four Pacific Northwest experimental watersheds. Sediment yields were predicted using a handbook developed by the U.S. Forest Service entitled, "An Approach to Water Resources Evaluation of Non-Point Silvicultural Sources" (WRENS). Predicted sediment yield increases varied from 40 to...
