Tsunami events with extreme effects on sedimentary transport or considerable alterations of the coastal configuration are rather rare regarding human history, but considering geological timescales they occur frequently. At least 100 megatsunami in different parts of the world have been recorded in the past 2000 years—but presumably far more have failed to be noticed during historical times and ...

There is strong empirical evidence on the importance of spatial pattern vegetation in dryland hydrologic and geomorphologic dynamics. However, changes cover are often linked, making it difficult to disentangle assess their independent hydro-geomorphologic roles. We used synthetic sponges placed soil surface mimic aboveground structure patches, manipulated patch as well sink capacity patches a s...

The potential impacts of land use on large woody debris (LWD) were examined in Sourdough Creek Watershed, a rapidly growing area encompassing Bozeman, Montana, USA. We identified six land classes within a 250 m buffer extending on either side of Sourdough Creek and assessed aquatic habitat and geomorphologic variables within each class. All LWD pieces were counted, and we examined 14 other vari...
