  • Debris flows in glaciated catchments : a case study on Mount Rainier, Washington

    Creator:
    Legg, Nicholas T.
    Abstract:
    Debris flows, which occur in mountain settings worldwide, have been particularly damaging in the glaciated basins flanking the stratovolcanoes in the Cascade Range of the northwestern United States. This thesis contains two manuscripts that respectively investigate the (1) initiation processes of debris flows in these glaciated catchments, and (2) debris...

  • Recent periglacial debris flows from Mount Rainier, Washington

    Creator:
    Copeland, Elizabeth A.
    Abstract:
    Debris flow initiation is controlled by a complex interaction of geology, geomorphology, climate, and weather. In the Cascade Range of Pacific Northwest and mountainous areas globally, patterns of temperature and precipitation are being altered by climate change, which may in turn impact debris flow initiation. Temperature has increased and patterns...
