Across Washington State’s forested landscape, fish barriers exist where road crossings over streams were constructed during previous management and regulatory regimes that did not require passability. However, industrial and state forest landowners have been required to inventory and address these … Continued

To better understand decadal watershed and fishery impacts of shallow landsliding, I assessed landslide rates in six sub-areas of the Skagit River basin of northwestern Washington. All inventory areas contain predominantly forestry lands with ongoing timber management. I compiled existing … Continued

Riparian forests attenuate solar radiation, thereby mediating an important component of the thermal budget of streams. Here, we investigate the relationship between riparian degradation, stream temperature, and channel width in the Chehalis River Basin, Washington State. We used lidar data … Continued
