Description:

Abstract:

This data set is a spreadsheet that includes measurements of channel morphology of the mainstem rivers in the study basins. These data were collected during 1999 and 2000 from study basins in the Oregon Coast Range.

Purpose:

To determine the frequency of debris flow delivery to the mainstem river, and to assess how network structure influenced debris flow frequency and fan size.
