| Notes | The severe weather and heavy rainfall of February, 1996 caused many landslides in the Oregon Coast Range. This study looks at the effects of landslides and debris flows on fish 15 years later. “My primary objectives in this study are to: 1) explore whether the abundance of juvenile coho salmon, age 0+ trout, and age 1+ trout in summer pools varies with distance to the nearest 15-year-old debris-flow deposit; and 2) examine pool habitat characteristics in 1996 and 2011 relative to distance to the nearest 15-year-old debris-flow deposit to document change and as possible explanations of observed salmonid distribution. “ (p.5) The major professor was Kelly M.
