Erosion from forest roads is an important contribution to the sediment budget of many forested basins, particularly over short time scales. Sediment production from 74 road segments was measured over three years to examine how road slope, segment length, cutslope height, and soil texture affect sediment production and how these relationships change with time. In the first year, differences in s...

Abstract This paper presents new techniques for seamlessly transitioning between parallel coordinate plots, star and scatter plots. The plot serves as a mediator visualization plots since it uses lines to represent data items coordinates do can arrange axes orthogonally used design of the transitions also motivated variant plot, polycurve that curved instead straight ones has advantages both in...

Fischer plots are plots of accommodation (derived by calculating cumulative departure from mean cycle thickness) versus cycle number or stratigraphic distance (proxies for time), for cyclic carbonate platforms. Although many workers have derived programs to do this, there are currently no published, easily accessible programs that utilize Excel. In this paper, we present an Excel-based spreadsh...

Chaotic systems are characterized by sensitivity to initial conditions, and this property can be measured by global Lyapunov exponents, which are measures of the average divergence rate of initially close trajectories. Woll (1992) introduced local Lyapunov exponents and used them to obtain two diagnostic plots for diierentiating between stochastic and deterministic time series. We extend the de...
