Declining Sediment Loads from Redwood Creek and the Klamath River, North Coastal California
River basin sediment loads are affected by several factors, with flood magnitude and watershed erosional stability playing dominant and dynamic roles. Long-term average sediment loads for northern California river basins have been computed by several researchers by several methods. However, characterizing the dynamic nature of climate and watershed stability requires computation of annual loads...
متن کاملProgressive Damage Analysis of Laminated Composites using Continuum Damage Mechanics
In this paper, progressive damage and global failure of composite laminates under quasi-static, monotonic loading are investigated using 3D continuum damage mechanics. For this purpose, a finite element program has been developed using an eight-node 2D layered element including layer-wise plate theory. Damage analysis of a single orthotropic layer under various uniform in-plane and transverse l...
متن کاملCosmogenic Be as a tracer for hillslope and channel sediment dynamics in the Clearwater River, western Washington State
We use the Be concentration in alluvial sand and gravel to document hillslope exposure history and trace the reduction in grain size of river alluvium in the Clearwater River basin, western Washington State. Clearwater tributary basins Wilson Creek (WC, 6 km) and East Fork Miller Creek (EFMC, 12 km) were each sampled in headwater and downstream sites for Be in alluvial sand (0.25–0.50 mm) and g...
متن کاملPlant Uptake of Atmospheric Carbonyl Sulfide in Coast Redwood Forests
The future resilience of coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) is now of critical concern due to the detection of a 33% decline in California coastal fog over the 20th century. However, ecosystem-scale measurements of photosynthesis and stomatal conductance are challenging in coast redwood forests, making it difficult to anticipate the impacts of future changes in fog. To address this methodolo...

Rainfall, throughfall, and stemflow were monitored at 5-min intervals for 3 years in a 120-year-old forest dominated by redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) at the Caspar Creek Exper...
