Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ecological Effects of the Lawn Lake Flood of 1982, Rocky Mountain National Park I started to hear a sound like an airplane. Also, there were loud booms. It got louder and louder. I thought it was breaking the sound barrier. I kept looking for a plane but couldn't see one. I got suspicious and started looking upstream. I saw trees crashing over and a wall of water coming down. I started to run as fast as I could for high ground. There was a deafening roar. I fell and got up and kept running. I stood on high ground and watched it wipe out our campsite. It knocked everything in its path over; Steve his camping companion] didn't stand a chance. With these words, Steven Cashman described his harrowing experience with the ood that swept his camping companion to his death in the Roaring River. Other campers along the Roaring River estimated the wall of water to be 8 - 10 m high, carrying with it large trees and boulders, so that the water looked like a wet, brown cloud that sounded like extremely loud continuous thunder, or a freight train, or an airplane breaking the sound barrier.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compilation catalogues the writings on the diverse vertebrate species within Colorado's boundaries beginning with the Escalante Expedition, which skirted the western slope a century before Colorado's statehood. Because of its geographical location-between East and West, North and Southwest, its altitudinal range of more than 11,000 feet, and its consequent variety of ecosystems from desert shrub to alpine tundra, Colorado ranks high among the fifty states for its variety of vertebrates. With such an abundance of these vertebrates, biologists and observant laypersons have had much to write about. This comprehensive bibliography is divided into major sections: General Natural History, Fishes, Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds and Mammals. Each taxonomic group has a general section, followed by listings at taxon levels down to alphabetically-arranged species. The bibliography is especially complete with respect to periodical literature through 1995. Colorado Vertebrate Zoology cites resources for studying both well-researched vertebrates and those needing more study.

Download or read book Geomorphic Response of Fall River Following the Lawn Lake Flood Rocky Mountain National Park Colorado written by John Pitlick and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the Lawn Lake flood, July 15, 1982, in Rocky Mountain National Park, geomorphic process studies were initiated on Fall River in Horseshoe Park. This event has provided an ideal opportunity to study the geomorphic response of a meandering, gravel-bed river to a catastrophic flood. The research was simplified because of the unique field setting and because there were few modifications of the flood deposits or channel prior to the 1983 snowmelt season. The changes observed during the past 4 years can, therefore, be related to a well-defined baseline. The results of this work can be formulated in terms of the magnitude and frequency of geomorphic processes and in terms of the concept of landform recovery from extreme events. The field site is also being used to study sediment transport at a detailed scale because, in gravel-bed rivers. The 4-year Fall River data set represents a unique study of a catastrophically-effected stream. The results of this work provide important insight into the short-term rates and mechanisms of geomorphic response following large flood events.
