Measurement of bedload transport in sand-bed rivers: A look at two indirect sampling methods
Robert R. Holmes Jr.
John R. Gray, Jonathan B. Laronne, Jeffrey D. G. Marr, editor(s)
2010, Book chapter, Bedload-surrogate monitoring technologies
Sand-bed rivers present unique challenges to accurate measurement of the bedload transport rate using the traditional direct sampling methods of direct traps (for example the Helley-Smith bedload sampler). The two major issues are: 1) over sampling of sand transport caused by “mining” of sand due to the flow disturbance induced...

J. K. H. Zimmerman, B. H. Letcher, K.H. Nislow, K.A. Lutz, F.J. Magilligan
2010, River Research and Applications (26) 1246-1260
River regulation can alter the frequency and magnitude of subdaily flow variations causing major impacts on ecological structure and function. We developed an approach to quantify subdaily flow variation for multiple sites across a large watershed to assess the potential impacts of different dam operations (flood control, run-of-river hydropower and...
Laboratory-based maximum slip rates in earthquake rupture zones and radiated energy
Art McGarr, Joe B. Fletcher, M. Boettcher, N. Beeler, J. Boatwright
2010, Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America (100) 3250-3260
Laboratory stick-slip friction experiments indicate that peak slip rates increase with the stresses loading the fault to cause rupture. If this applies also to earthquake fault zones, then the analysis of rupture processes is simplified inasmuch as the slip rates depend only on the local yield stress and are independent...
