Backcountry Trails Near Stream Corridors: An Ecological Approach To Design
Traditional trails near backcountry stream corridors are often designed with disregard to their potential ecological impact. Ecological and trail related literature show that riparian landscapes are sensitive to recreation impacts. This thesis examines concepts for designing trails in ecologically …

Post-fire Response of Little Creek Watershed: Evaluation of Change in Sediment Production and Suspended Sediment Transport
… Lockheed Fire in 2009. The amount and volume of near-stream sediment sources were found to decrease, while an increase in hillslope sediment production was documented. High intensity, short duration rainfall (up to 87 mm/hr for 10 minute duration) initiated extensive rilling and minor …

The Geomorphic Influence of Agricultural Land Use on Stream Hydraulics and Biological Function
Agricultural land use near streams frequently results in long-term disturbance to woody riparian vegetation and an alteration of reach scale geomorphic structure. Such disturbances often result in increased fine sediment input to the stream along with direct changes in channel structure. The study …

Runoff from hummock-covered Arctic tundra hillslopes in the continuous permafrost zone
… soil types, and continuous gauging of the main stream channel. Tundra is a heterogeneous medium in both horizontal (due to the presence of periglacial features such as mineral earth hummocks) and vertical (due to abrupt changes in hydraulic conductivity with depth) directions. Hillslope runoff …

Soil Erosion from Forest Haul Roads at Stream Crossings as Influenced by Road Attributes
Forest roads and stream crossings can be important sources of sediment in forested watersheds. The purpose of this research was to compare trapped sediment and forestry best management practice (BMP) effectiveness from haul road stream crossing approaches and ditches. The three studies in this …

A Hydropedological Approach to Describing Runoff Generation, Lateral Podzolization, and Spatial and Temporal Patterns of DOC in a Headwater Catchment
… two HPUs in the catchment as sources of streamwater dissolved organic carbon (DOC). While near-stream areas have typically been found to be DOC sources in headwater catchments, the HPUs identified as sources occur at high elevations in the catchment, near channel heads. Overall, these …

Land Cover Influences on Stream Nitrogen Dynamics During Storms
… on the effects of land cover influence on stream nitrogen have focused on base flow conditions or were conducted specifically within urbanized or primarily agricultural watersheds. While these studies have shown relationships between land cover and nitrogen, this relationship and the scale …

Influences of land use on the structure and function of headwater streams: A multiple scale analysis
The structure and function of stream ecosystems may be strongly influenced by land-use practices within watersheds. The magnitude of land-use impacts may depend upon the spatial arrangement of development in watersheds. This study examines the relationship between land-cover patterns and stream …

Evaluating the effects of hydrogeologic processes on the fate of salinity and halogens in headwater catchments
… from other sources of contamination and (2) linear discriminant analysis (LDA) to quantitatively determine the most likely source of contamination to individual water samples. Ratios of Cl/Br suggested that road salt affected waters are present in both branches, but are more prominent in the …
