A calculation of flushing times and pollution distribution for the Columbia River estuary

Creator:: Neal, Victor Thomas
Abstract:: The probable pollution distribution and flushing times have been calculated for the Columbia River Estuary, a coastal plain estuary. The pollution distribution was determined by the fresh water fraction and by the diffusion equation. The flushing times were calculated by the modified tidal prism method and by the fraction of...

A Climate of Risk: Modeled Vegetation, Carbon, Fire, and Biomass Loss Risk in Western Oregon and Washington under Climate Change

Creator:: Sheehan, Timothy J.
Abstract:: Managing wildlands to protect species and ecosystem services in response to climate change is challenging. To develop effective long-term strategies, natural resource managers need to account for the projected effects of climate change as well as the uncertainty inherent in those projections. Vegetation models are one important source of projected...
