NotesMaster’s thesis. This thesis is about the interplay between hydrology, road traffic and logging roads. The author used a modified turbidity threshold sampling system to continuously determine the amount of erosion taking place and makes the case for this method being superior to more conventional storm runoff sampling systems. The major professor was Arne E. Skaugset.
