Working on the USGS debris flow flume in Oregon.
Detailed Description
The experimental flume was the idea of USGS scientist Richard Iverson. Through collaboration between the USGS and the U.S. Forest Service, this dream was realized, and the debris flow flume was constructed in 1991 and use began in 1992.
The 312 foot-long (95-meter-long), 6 foot-wide (2 meter-wide) debris flow flume facility is located near Blue River, Ore., in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest.
