Increasing availability of high‐resolution (1 m) topography data and enhanced computational processing power present new opportunities to study landscape organization at a detail not possible before. Here we propose the use of “directed distance...

The connection between stream restoration and sediment budgeting runs both ways: stream restoration is proposed as a means to reduce sediment yields, but an accurate understanding of sediment supply is necessary to design an effective project....

Although sediment is a natural constituent of rivers, excess loading to rivers and streams is a leading cause of impairment and biodiversity loss. Remedial actions require identification of the sources and mechanisms of sediment supply. This task...

High-resolution topographic data derived from light detection and ranging (lidar) technology enables detailed geomorphic observations to be made on spatially extensive areas in a way that was previously not possible. Availability of this data...

Three sediment cores from the Great Salt Lake were analyzed to determine the magnitude and timing for the deposition of 21 metal contaminants. In the main lake (Gilbert Bay) concentrations of copper, lead, zinc, cadmium, silver, molybdenum, tin,...

The Shasta River in Siskiyou County, California may be one of the Lower Klamath River’s more exceptional tributaries (CDFG 2004, Deas 2004, NRC 2004). The river receives more than half of its annual flow from spring complexes. These springs, fed...

In 1923, following years of opposition and debate, the City of San Francisco, Calif., completed the O'Shaughnessy Dam, which flooded Hetch Hetchy Valley in California's Yosemite National Park. Today the future of Hetch Hetchy Valley is still...
