Vogel , Richard M 1 1 Tufts University, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering A general introduction to the new field of ‘hydromorphology’ will be given. Hydromorphology is to hydrology, as geomorphology is to geology. Hydromorphology deals with the evolution and structure of systems. There are very few water systems...

Segura , Catalina 1 ; Pitlick , John 2 1 University of Colorado 2 University of Colorado The spatial variability of sediment transport intensity at the reach scale is controlled both by the available shear stress, τ, and the grain size distribution of the channel bed. This variability creates patches...

Pitlick , John 1 ; , GEOG 5100 students 2 ; Nelson , Jonathan 3 1 University of Colorado 2 University of Colorado 3 US Geological Survey The bed roughness in headwater streams is generally large in comparison to the flow depths required to initiate bed load transport The roughness...

Mueller , Erich R 1 ; Pitlick , John 2 1 Department of Geography, University of Colorado 2 Department of Geography, University of Colorado Channel morphology in streams and rivers is a product of the watershed scale flux of sediment and water to the channel network. As a result the...

Mallikamas , Wasin 1 ; Rajaram , Harihar 2 1 University of Colorado Boulder 2 University of Colorado Boulder Natural rock fractures are characterized by highly irregular rough walls, which are best modeled as spatially correlated random surfaces. This leads to a description of fractures, wherein the fracture aperture and...

Dombroski , Daniel E 1 ; Crimaldi , John P 2 1 University of Colorado at Boulder 2 University of Colorado at Boulder Fine-scale aspects of stirring and mixing are examined in turbulent boundary layer flow using a three-dimensional planar laser induced fluorescence (3-D PLIF) system. Rhodamine 6G is released...

Dillin , Matthew 1 ; Neupauer , Roseanna 2 1 University of Colorado 2 University of Colorado Wavelet analysis involves an integral transform of, for example, a permeability data set, using wavelet as the kernel of the transform. A wavelet is a function that is non-zero only over a finite...
