RCMAP - Roaring Fork River at Basalt, Colorado
The U.S. Geological Survey was engaged in a program to monitor and assess the long-term geomorphic behavior of selected river and stream reaches that previously had undergone some physical modification. These modifications included natural channel adjustments to floods as well as intentional channel reconfigurations to alter the function or appearance of a river reach. The Roaring Fork River at...
Prediction of suspended-sediment transport and identification of sediment source areas in the Fountain Creek watershed
A thorough evaluation of sediment transport through this stream network is essential to comprehensively evaluate the present dynamic geomorphic conditions in the Fountain Creek watershed and its future consequences. Such an evaluation requires examining both of the fundamental modes of sediment transport: bedload transport and suspended sediment load.
RCMAP - Lake Fork at Gateview, Colorado
The U.S. Geological Survey was engaged in a program to monitor and assess the long-term geomorphic behavior of selected river and stream reaches that previously had undergone some physical modification. These modifications included natural channel adjustments to floods as well as intentional channel reconfigurations to alter the function or appearance of a river reach.
