Description
Accurate, quantitative analysis of ecosystems is dependent on the quality of data used to describe the environment. Data quality is a major concern for the Multi-resource Management Planning Research Project, referred to as the Beaver Creek Project, administered by the Rocky Mountain Forest and Range Experiment Station. The goals of the Beaver Creek Project are centered on development and testing of methodologies for management decision making in...

Description
Equilibrium of alluvial streams has been thoroughly studied in the past century. Many investigators have extended analysis to explain meandering (or braiding) of streams, and attempted to describe the hydraulic geometry of alluvial streams. This study points at the derivation of the characteristics of alluvial streams from fundamental principles. More precisely, this research aims to determine the downstream geometry of alluvial streams (channel width,...

Description
Soil erosion by rainfall is one of the major sources of sediments transported into streams. The physical processes governing rainfall erosion are very complex and no generally accepted sediment transport equation has been developed so far. Various approaches have been used in the past decades to analyze sediment transport by overland flow.

Description
On Saturday, July 31, 1976 almost 4,000 people were enjoying the serene beauty of the Big Thompson Canyon. During the evening an intense thunderstorm stalled over a small portion of the canyon, dropping 10 or more inches of rain in a 3-hour period. Because of the steep mountain topography, the rainfall quickly concentrated and formed a virtual "wall of water" which displaced everything in its path. The Big Thompson flood has provided a grim reminder...
