Krista Jones is a hydrologist at the USGS Oregon Water Science Center.
Krista Jones is a Hydrologist with the Geomorphology Team at the U.S. Geological Survey Oregon Water Science Center in Portland, OR. Over her 15+ years with USGS, Krista’s research integrates hydrology, geomorphology, and stream ecology first to characterize water resources and habitats for riparian and aquatic species and then to assess implications of river and floodplain management and habitat restoration on water resources and habitats.

Preliminary assessment of channel stability and bed-material transport in the Coquille River basin, southwestern Oregon Preliminary assessment of channel stability and bed-material transport in the Coquille River basin, southwestern Oregon
This report summarizes a preliminary study of bed-material transport, vertical and lateral channel changes, and existing datasets for the Coquille River basin, which encompasses 2,745 km2 (square kilometers) of the southwestern Oregon coast. This study, conducted to inform permitting decisions regarding instream gravel mining, revealed that:The 115.4-km-long study area on the South Fork...

Columbia River Estuary ecosystem classification—Concept and application Columbia River Estuary ecosystem classification—Concept and application
This document describes the concept, organization, and application of a hierarchical ecosystem classification that integrates saline and tidal freshwater reaches of estuaries in order to characterize the ecosystems of large flood plain rivers that are strongly influenced by riverine and estuarine hydrology. We illustrate the classification by applying it to the Columbia River estuary...

Preliminary assessment of channel stability and bed-material transport along Hunter Creek, southwestern Oregon Preliminary assessment of channel stability and bed-material transport along Hunter Creek, southwestern Oregon
This preliminary assessment of (1) bed-material transport in the Hunter Creek basin, (2) historical changes in channel condition, and (3) supplementary data needed to inform permitting decisions regarding instream gravel extraction revealed the following: Along the lower 12.4 km (kilometers) of Hunter Creek from its confluence with the Little South Fork Hunter Creek to its mouth, the...
