Since the late 1960s it became clear that a more sustainable protection of people and
property from the negative impacts of natural hazards will require a more balanced use of …

The delivery and transport of sediment through mountain rivers affects aquatic habitat and
water resource infrastructure. While climate change is widely expected to produce significant …

1. We examined the export of invertebrates (aquatic and terrestrial) and coarse organic
detritus from forested headwaters to aquatic habitats downstream in the coastal mountains …

A wood budget was constructed for the Game Creek basin (132 km2) in southeast Alaska to
identify spatial and temporal controls on the abundance and distribution of large woody …

This paper synthesizes information on the spatial and temporal dynamics of wood in small
streams in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. The literature on this topic is …

In this chapter, we give a short overview of the protective effects of forests against snow
avalanches, landslides and rockfall hazards in mountain areas. The overview is based on …

Linkages between sediment supply by episodic geomorphic processes (obtained from aerial
photographs and field surveys) and sediment transport (estimated from changes in sediment …

General circulation models predict increases in air temperatures from 1° C to 5° C as
atmospheric CO 2 continues to rise during the next 100 years. Thermal regimes in …

Abstract Effects of tributary junctions on longitudinal patterns of riverine heterogeneity are
relevant to both fluvial geomorphology and riverine ecology. We surveyed 10 km of small-to …

We characterize and consider controls to runout distance of debris slides and debris flows
using 1700 field observations supplemented by air photograph interpretation from coastal …
