Description
Scope/Content: Abstract: When the Marmot Dam was decommissioned in October of 2007, the release of the estimated 750,000 cubic meters of reservoir sediment provided a unique opportunity for geomorphologists to monitor the changes the massive sediment supply would inflict on the Sandy River, OR. Crucial to this venture is the "sediment budget." To track the reservoir sediment successfully, geormorphologists first must know what other sources are contributing significant amounts of sediment to the Sandy River. For this reason, the soil horizons and geologic formations adjacent to the river must be taken into consideration.
