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...

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...

The changing glaciers of Mt. Hood, Oregon and Mt. Rainier, Washington : implications for periglacial debris flows

Creator:: Ellinger, Jonathan R.
Abstract:: Mountain glaciers are receding worldwide with numerous consequences including changing hydrology and geomorphology. This study focuses on changes in glacier area on Mt. Hood, Oregon and Mt. Rainier, Washington where damaging debris flows have occurred in glaciated basins. Landsat imagery is used to map debris-free ice on a decadal time...

Meteorological conditions associated with rain-related periglacial debris flows on Mount Hood, Oregon and Mount Rainier, Washington

Creator:: Parker, Lauren E.
Abstract:: In November of 2006 an intense rainstorm of tropical origin, known colloquially as the "Pineapple Express," inundated the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, initiating numerous periglacial debris flows on several of the stratovolcanoes in the Cascade Range of Oregon and Washington. These debris flows rapidly aggrade channels, deposit...

Mammals of Mount Rainier National Park

Creator:: Schamberger, Melvin
Abstract:: During 1966, 1967, and 1968 extensive field investigations were carried out in Mount Rainier National Park. These included continuous research during the summer months, and weekend activities during the winter months. Small mammals were trapped and observed, and the larger mammals were observed exclusively. The summer trapping consisted of two...

Effects of hydrology on zooplankton communities in high mountain ponds, Mount Rainier National Park

Creator:: Girdner, Scott F.
Abstract:: Ten high mountain ponds in Mount Rainier National Park, Washington State, were studied from June through September 1992 to investigate the influences of fluctuating pond volumes on zooplankton communities. A temporary pond of short wet phase duration was inhabited by zooplankton taxa with short generation times and a crustacean taxa...

Habitat segregation of two ambystomatids in mountain ponds, Mount Rainier National Park

Creator:: Brokes, Brendan J.
Abstract:: Ambystoma macrodactylum (long-toed salamander) and A. gracile (northwestern salamander) are two common salamander species occupying key trophic positions in mountain ponds of Mount Rainier National Park. The objective of this research was to document and evaluate the distributions and abundances of the two species, relative to habitat characteristics of ponds...

Composition, distribution and succession of subalpine meadows in Mount Rainier National Park

Creator:: Henderson, Jan A.
Abstract:: In 1970 a phytosociological reconnaissance consisting of 135 plots in the Subalpine Meadow Zone was made. These samples were sorted using an association table and several Alpine Zone and very early seral communities were set aside, An additional hundred plots taken by M. J. Hamann were incorporated with these and...

A recent disturbance history of forest ecosystems at Mount Rainier National Park

Creator:: Hemstrom, Miles A.
Abstract:: An analysis was made of the recent catastrophic disturbance history of forests at Mount Rainier National Park. Basic data were tree ages from ring counts of increment cores taken from the early seral cohort, field mapping of age class boundaries and aerial photograph interpretation. Maps of present stand ages were...

Soil erosion and vegetation loss accelerated by visitor use of Paradise Meadows, Mount Rainier National Park

Creator:: Fritzke, Susan L.
Abstract:: Recreational impacts on the subalpine-alpine ecosystems of Mount Rainier National Park have developed over the past century, and today pose a major problem for park managers. Field data were collected during the summer of 1987 in the Paradise meadows area in order to describe visitor impacts on social trails (trails...
