The catchment-filter, soil erosion gage, macroprofile, and
spike and washer techniques for erosion measurement were compared
on six plots along a newly constructed logging road in the Oregon
Coast Range during the winter of 1965-66. Three plots were located
on a cut slope; three plots were on a fill slope....
Soil erosion by mass wasting is the major problem on forest
lands of the Pacific Northwest, The clay fractions of soils from a
large number of sites in Oregon's Western Cascades were characterized
in order to determine the relationships of various clay materials to
mass movements. Each site was either...
Surface and subsurface hydrological parameters affecting overland flow from cultivated land were studied in three small sub-watersheds located in the western foothills of the Willamette Valley. The sub-watersheds, which ranged in size from 0.46 to 6.0-ha, were fall-planted to grass or small grain. The parameters studied were infiltration, rainfall, runoff...
During the period 1970-76, Siletz Spit on the mid-Oregon coast
has suffered foredune erosion. This erosion is associated with high
wave conditions along the coast, produced by intense storms in the
North Pacific.
During the winter of 1972-73 and during January through March
1976 the erosion was particularly severe. The...
Our purpose is twofold, to derive a 2-dimensional model of streambed erosion and to develop a solution procedure to solve the equations of our model. The flow domain, which varies in time, is bounded above by a free surface and is bounded below by an erodable streambed. An initial flow...
The purpose of this study was to use computer analysis of soil and rainfall data to predict the possible occurrence of soil erosion in Central Tunisia. Analysis was done with the program OR-NATURE (M.Ungs et al, 1985) . Central Tunisia was subdivided into northern, central, and southern subzones. Data about...
