Notes | The water in Oregon coastal streams comes from rainfall. As climate change shifts the timing and quantity of rainfall, already threatened species will be further stressed. This impressive doctoral dissertation examines how factors such as slope, lithology and land cover affect streamflow in watersheds stressed by climate change. Many coastal watersheds were examined. Mary Santelmann and Rebecca Flitcroft were co-major professors. |
