Late Quaternary sediments in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, include a unit of chiefly silt and fine sand, the Willamette Silt Formation. Previous workers have (1) Assigned the Willamette Silt different ages which range from Sangamon interglacial to late Wisconsin glacial, (2) Proposed that the Willamette Silt was deposited in a...

This study investigates the occurrence of beaver (Castor canadensis) in lentic habitat (lakes and ponds) near Mount St. Helens in Washington, 40 years after the 1980 eruption. At the coarse spatial scale, I surveyed lakes for sign of beaver establishment (lodge or den) across multiple volcanic disturbance zones. At a...
When wheat is exposed to rain in the period before harvest, it sometimes causes the problem of pre-harvest sprouting (PHS). Wheat that undergoes sprouting has poor end-use quality and is less valuable. In recent years, the U. S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) has experienced increased summer showers sometimes causing widespread PHS....
An analytical two-layer approximation of atmospheric flow is developed to study boundary-layer production of vertical motion. The model consists of a boundary layer topped by a free-flow layer. Both layers am time-dependent and possess different values of stratification. The boundary-layer equations are layer-integrated over a fixed depth and surface stress...
