The relative importance in geomorphic processes of extreme or catastrophic events and more frequent events of smaller magnitude can be measured in terms of (1) the relative amounts of "work" done on the landscape and (2) in terms of the formation of specific features of the landscape. For many processes, above the level of competence, the rate of movement of material can be expressed as a power...

Wood is an important component of forested stream ecosystems, and stream restoration efforts often incorporate large wood. In most cases, however, stream restoration projects are implemented without information regarding the amount of wood that historically occurred or the natural rates of wood recruitment. This study uses a space-for-time analysis to quantify large wood loading to 28 streams i...

Understanding how river bedload responds to climate and land use changes water resource management initiatives is critical in developing sustainable approaches management. Passive monitoring techniques permit investigation of interannual dependencies transport high resolution, including sediment supply factors. Here, seismic impact plate records are processed using a probabilistic model BedLoad...
