Neogene rocks of the Deschutes basin include the middle Miocene
Columbia River Basalt Group and Simtustus Formation, and late Miocene
to early Pliocene Deschutes Formation. Assignment of Prineville
chemical-type flows to the Grande Ronde Basalt of the Columbia River
Basalt Group is based upon correlation of these lavas from their...
Various types of mass movement features are found in the drainage
basin of the East Fork Coquille River in the southern Oregon Coast
Range. The distribution and forms of mass movement features in the area
are related to geologic factors and the resultant topography.
The Jurassic Otter Point Formation, a...
Soils of 49 agricultural and 2 "native condition" sites in the Lower Umatilla Basin,
Oregon were sampled for nitrate-nitrogen, ammonium-nitrogen, chloride, and pH
beginning in Fall of 1992. Several sites were sampled in Spring and Fall 1993 in order to
indicate movement or loss of residual soil nitrogen over time....
This dissertation integrates a process-based hydrological investigation with an
ongoing paired-catchment study to better understand how forest harvest impacts
catchment function at multiple scales. We do this by addressing fundamental questions
related to the stocks, flows and transit times of water. Isotope tracers are used within a
top-down catchment intercomparison...
