Alcoves in some river systems are cooler than the mainstem of the river and provide thermal refugia for aquatic species. An energy balance and sensitivity analysis on 3 alcoves in the Willamette River, Oregon indicate that alcove size and alcove flux determine the degree to which meteorological conditions affect the...
Channel evolution and influences of changing floodplain characteristics, heterogenous bank materials, and altered flow regimes were examined along the Willamette River, a large alluvial river in northwestern Oregon. The Willamette River is composed of a series of geomorphically diverse reaches, which have each evolved uniquely in the century following Euro-American...
This thesis is a documentation of a selected number of nineteenth century quilts studied by the investigator in the Willamette Valley.
The quilts were located in museums and in individual's homes. A questionnaire, that was developed for this study of quilts, was
filled out as each quilt was examined. Slides...
The purposes of this report are to describe the quality of shallow ground water in alluvial aquifers of the Willamette Basin and to identify relationships between shallow ground-water quality and various natural and anthropogenic factors. Several natural and anthropogenic factors (soil characteristics, cumulative thickness of clay above open interval of...
The future expansion of agricultural production in the Willamette
Valley will depend to a large degree upon the feasibility of introducing
irrigated agriculture on the poorly drained soils in the Valley. A
r earch program has been initiated to investigate the feasibility of
rigation on poorly drained soils with the...
This report the sizes for winter steelhead runs of the Willamette River and many of its tributaries from 1958-69, giving numbers and suggesting possible reasons for small runs.
