Notesβ€œThe triumvirate of tectonics, lithology, and climate control landscape evolution. This study quantifies how lithologic variation and climate-mediated changes in ecosystems perturb steady state processes in the unglaciated, soil-mantled Oregon Coast Range. . .” (from the Abstract) The several chapters of this Ph. D. dissertation offer fascinating looks at several catchments in the Umpqua River Basin, including a reconstruction of paleoclimate over 50,000 years in the Little Lake watershed.
