Creator:: Whidden, Ian W.
Abstract:: Relatively little is known about how various factors influence snow water storage in forested mountain landscapes in maritime (warm winter) climates. This study took advantage of multiple snow data sources including long-term data, synoptic sampling, remote sensing, and modeling to examine factors influencing snow dynamics in the H.J. Andrews Experimental...

Abstract:: Forested, mountain landscapes in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are changing at an unprecedented rate, largely due to shifts in the regional climate regime. Documented climatic trends across the PNW include increasing wildfire frequency and intensity and an increasingly ephemeral snowpack, especially at moderate elevations. One relationship that has yet to...

Creator:: Babb, Arden I.
Abstract:: This study was conducted to determine if a time-integrated Phillips sampler was able to estimate sediment yield when compared to a reference produced by an automated sampler. Time-integrated samplers are easier to use, more cost effective, and can withstand storm events better than automated samplers, but are not designed to...

Creator:: Weiss, Sydney G.
Abstract:: Snow water equivalent (SWE) is a critical measurement in hydrology and water resources management. Microwave remote sensing can estimate snow water equivalent (SWE). However, the algorithms used to estimate SWE require snow grain size information. Thus, determining snow grain size is pertinent to estimate SWE. Currently, there are several models...

Creator:: Caruso, Philip
Abstract:: The hydrologic function of a landscape is an important concept for understanding the presence, movement and availability of water. The Camp Creek Paired Watershed Study (CCPWS) site in Central Oregon has been utilized to investigate the impacts of western juniper on watershed hydrologic function since 1993. The research presented here...

Creator:: Roberts-Pierel, Benjamin M.
Abstract:: The global cryosphere, defined as the world’s ice and snow covered regions, is a crucial water source for society and ecosystem functions, as well as an important regulator of the earth’s energy budget. Melt from glaciers and seasonal snow cover provides water for more than a sixth of the world’s...

Creator:: Rose, Erik W.
Abstract:: Abstract Valleys of headwater channels in the Oregon Coast Range impound significant amounts of sediment, with the majority of deposits originating as debris flows. Headwater valleys function as transitional sedimentary reservoirs linking hillslope sources in active orogens to sinks in sedimentary basins, yet the residence time of deposits in the...
