Estimating Sediment Losses Generated from Highway Cut and Fill Slopes in the Lake Tahoe Basin
Lake Tahoe's famed water clarity has gradually declined over the last 50 years, partially as a result of fine sediment particle (FSP, < 16 micrometers in diameter) contributions from urban stormwater. Of these urban sources, highway cut and fill slopes often generate large amounts of sediment due …

Evaluating Late Pleistocene and Holocene Rupture, Seismic Hazards and Ground Motion in the Lake Tahoe Basin
… is a reevaluation of active faulting across the Tahoe basin a combination of airborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) imagery, high-resolution seismic CHIRP profiles, multibeam bathymetric mapping, and field mapping. The combined lateral and vertical resolution has allowed a straight forward …

Evaluation on an on-site stormwater treatment device for sediment flux mitigation in the Lake Tahoe basin
… are readily 5 adsorbed onto particles. In the Lake Tahoe basin, sediment is also significant because of its direct contribution to clarity attenuation. The most prudent control measure for mitigating sediment flux in the Lake Tahoe basin is infiltration, which captures runoff volume, allowing …

Forest Mortality in Lake Tahoe Basin from 1985-2010: Influences of Forest Type, Stand Density, Topography and Climate
… and environmental gradients and mortality in the Lake Tahoe Basin in the central Sierra Nevada. In coniferous forests of the western U.S. and Europe, increased stand density resulting from forest management and land use practices is widely hypothesized to increase forest-wide mortality levels …

A Methodology for Planning Road Best Management Practices Combining WEPP: Road Erosion Modeling and Simulated Annealing Optimization
… methodology was tested on a watershed in the Lake Tahoe Basin. WEPP: Road input data was gathered through road surveys. Modeling results predicted relatively little sediment leaving the forest buffer, as a result of numerous well-maintained BMPs and the dry climate found in the watershed. A …

A process for defining landscape-specific design guidelines for the shoreland of Lake Tahoe
The Lake Tahoe shoreland is a landscape of uncommon beauty. Its beauty, however, is at risk. The shoreland suffers the penalty of popularity – large numbers of individuals are attracted to build there in large part to take advantage of the natural beauty of the landscape. This thesis describes a …
