The Central Oregon High Cascade Range is an anomalously mafic segment of the

composite volcano in this arc segment, has produced a seemingly monotonous...

This pilot study of South Sister Creek (8 km length) examined stream-scale (i.e., longitudinal trends) and sub-reach scale (less than 100 m) water temperature. Hourly summer temperature time-series data were gathered at four to seven locations along South Sister Creek in 2006, 2012, and 2013 and were used to explore...
