Spatial Analysis of Flood Disturbance, Debris Flows, and Stream Network Characteristics in the Western Cascades of Oregon

Kai Snyder

Debris flows are a primary vector of flood-related disturbance. Ninety-six debris flows that occurred in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest between 1950 and 1996 were studied. Factors associated with the spatial distribution of initiation, runout, and cessation of debris flows were analyzed. Characteristics of this disturbance process within the stream network were examined using ArcInfo network analysis tools.
