A Meteorological and Snow observational data set from Snoqualmie Pass (921 m), Washington Cascades, U.S.
(University of Washington, 7/20/2015)We introduce a quality controlled observational atmospheric, snow, and soil data set from Snoqualmie Pass, Washington, U.S.A., to enable testing of hydrometeorological and snow process representations within a rain-snow ... -
Observations of distributed snow depth and snow duration within diverse forest structures in a maritime mountain watershed
(2015)Spatially distributed snow depth and snow duration data were collected over two to four snow seasons during water years 2011-2014 in experimental forest plots within the Cedar River Municipal Watershed, 50 km east of ... -
Predicting Liquefaction in Near-Real-Time (NRT): An Assessment of Geospatial vs. Geotechnical Models During the Canterbury Earthquakes
(2017-10)Semi-empirical models based on in-situ geotechnical tests have become the standard of practice for predicting soil liquefaction. Since the inception of the "simplified" cyclic-stress model in 1971, variants based on various ... -
Probabalistic Prediction of Severity of Liquefaction Surface Manifestation Using Geotechnical and Geospatial Models
(2017-08-08)The severity of liquefaction manifested at the ground surface is a pragmatic proxy of damage potential for various infrastructure assets, making it particularly useful for hazard mapping ,land-use planning, and preliminary ... -
Technology Development to Explore the Relationship Between Oral Health and the Oral Microbial Community
(2006)The human oral cavity contains a complex microbial community that, until recently, has not been well characterized. Studies using molecular tools have begun to enumerate and quantify the species residing in various niches ... -
THEORIZING THE INTERNAL SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY OF SANITATION ORGANIZATIONS
(Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 15-09)Onsite household sanitation technologies such as septic tanks or latrines serve a large percentage of the world’s population. Unfortunately, they experience high failure rates after construction, with resulting environmental ... -
Wave generation of gravity-driven sediment flows on a predominantly sandy seabed
(2018)Wave-supported gravity flows (WSGF) generate rates of sediment flux far exceeding other cross-shelf transport processes, contributing disproportionately to shelf morphology and net cross-shelf fluxes of sediment in many ... -
Wave-Supported Gravity Currents Project: Experimental data from UW Sediment-Wave tank. Zero slope
(2015-03-01)Paper abstract: We present results from laboratory experiments in a wave flume with and without a sediment bed to investigate the turbulent structure and sediment dynamics of wave-supported mud layers. The presence of ... -
Yosemite Hydroclimate Network: Distributed Stream and Atmospheric Data for the Tuolumne River Watershed and Surroundings
(University of Washington, 2016-04-26)Regions of complex topography and remote wilderness terrain have spatially-varying patterns of temperature and streamflow, but due to inherent difficulties of access, are often very poorly sampled. Here we present a dataset ...
