Single-beam Echosounder Bathymetry of the Willamette River, Oregon 2015-2018 Single-beam Echosounder Bathymetry of the Willamette River, Oregon 2015-2018
River bathymetry measurements were collected in 2017 and 2018 along the Willamette River, Oregon, between Eugene and Newberg. These data were collected to complement a bathymetric lidar dataset collected in 2017 for the same section of river. In many deeper segments of the river channel, bathymetric lidar did not produce measurements of river bathymetry. To fill gaps in the bathymetric...
Point measurements of temperature and water quality in main-channel and off-channel features of the Willamette River, 2015-2016 Point measurements of temperature and water quality in main-channel and off-channel features of the Willamette River, 2015-2016
Water quality point measurements were collected by the US Geological Survey within the main channel Willamette River and its off-channel features in the summer and autumn of 2015 and 2016. All measurements include location, time, temperature, and depth below water surface, while most also include specific conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and pH.

Integrated tools for identifying optimal flow regimes and evaluating alternative minimum flows for recovering at-risk salmonids in a highly managed system Integrated tools for identifying optimal flow regimes and evaluating alternative minimum flows for recovering at-risk salmonids in a highly managed system
Water resource managers are faced with difficult decisions on how to satisfy human water needs while maintaining or restoring riverine ecosystems. Decision sciences have developed approaches and tools that can be used to break down difficult water management decisions into their component parts. An essential aspect of these approaches is the use of quantitative models to evaluate...

Soft sediment deformation in dry pyroclastic deposits at Ubehebe Crater, Death Valley, California Soft sediment deformation in dry pyroclastic deposits at Ubehebe Crater, Death Valley, California
Soft sediment deformation structures are common in fine-grained pyroclastic deposits and are often taken, along with other characteristics, to indicate that deposits were emplaced in a wet and cohesive state. At Ubehebe Crater (Death Valley, California, USA), deposits were emplaced by multiple explosions, both directly from pyroclastic surges and by rapid remobilization of fresh, fine...
