This book was released on 1988 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mass wasting constitutes the dominant geomorphic process in the coastal regions of the province, and encompasses a variety of slope movement processes by which masses of soil, rock, and debris are transported downslope primarily by gravity. This study involved a rapid analysis of 1979-80 aerial photography to develop an overview showing the distribution and frequency of failures on a cross-island basis. A systematic analysis was then done of dominant landscape characteristics and slope failure frequencies within Universal Transverse Mercator cells that contained one or more slope failure initiation points.

Rood and published by BC, Ministry of Forests. This book was released on 1984 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated timber harvesting and mass wasting on the Queen Charlotte Islands. Logging impacts on the frequency and yield of landslides from steep slopes and on the volume of material entering streams were examined for a study area comprised of 27 basins covering 350 km2 between Rennell Sound and Burnaby Island. The influence of logging was assessed by comparing the yield and frequency of landslides calculated for clearcut and road areas to that from forested terrain.

Book excerpt: Research in the Fish/Forestry Interaction Program was initiated in 1981 to resolve the conflicts between steep slope logging and the integrated management of fish and forest resources on the Queen Charlotte Islands. ‍?Field research provided a data base for evaluating alternative research strategies, developing a stratification methodology for extrapolation of study results, and determining the site descriptors required to assess impacts. This report describes the research approach and methodology adopted in this major interdisciplinary program.

Tripp and published by Victoria, B.C.: Research Branch, Ministry of Forests. This book was released on 1992 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of logging and mass wasting on juvenile coho salmon and Dolly Varden char were assessed in streams on the Queen Charlotte Islands. Fish densities and habitat characteristics of 27-33 stream reaches were measured during summer and fall. Reach samples included undisturbed, unlogged old-growth forest, logged streams not directly affected by recent mass wasting (logged), and logged streams directly affected by recent debris torrents and slides (mass wasted). Overwinter survivals and smolt yields in three mass wasted and three non-mass wasted streams (all logged) were also estimated in a downstream spring fish trapping program, after determining the number of fish present in each stream the previous fall.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Study to investigate and define the relationship between meteorological conditions and slope failure occurrences in the Queen Charlotte Islands. The study compiled a comprehensive list of observed slope failure locations and times of occurrence; documented the meteorological conditions leading up to and during the event associated with each inventoried slope failure; and investigated the threshold of occurrence for mass movements by determining the relationship between meteorological conditions and the timing of slope failures.

This book was released on 2019-09-25 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenges facing submarine mass movement researchers and engineers are plentiful and exciting. This book follows several high-profile submarine landslide disasters that have reached the world’s attention over the past few years. For decades, researchers have been mapping the world’s mass movements. Their significant impacts on the Earth by distributing sediment on phenomenal scales is undeniable. Their importance in the origins of buried resources has long been understood. Their hazard potential ranges from damaging to apocalyptic, frequently damaging local infrastructure and sometimes devastating whole coastlines. Moving beyond mapping advances, the subaqueous mass movement scientists and practitioners are now also focussed on assessing the consequences of mass movements, and the measurement and modelling of events, hazard analysis and mitigation. Many state-of-the-art examples are provided in this book, which is produced under the auspices of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation Program S4SLIDE (Significance of Modern and Ancient Submarine Slope LandSLIDEs).

This book was released on 1984 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The potential techniques for the rehabilitation of small streams which havebeen degraded by mass wasting on the Queen Charlotte Islands are reviewed. Experience with possible rehabilitation techniques in other parts of thePacific Northwest is summarized and suggestions on their applicability forQueen Charlotte Islands streams are made. It is stressed that stream rehabilitation should be considered only after an assessment of the factorsactually limiting fish production is made. This report summarizes studiesand literature results to the end of 1981.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Read what over 60 internationally recognized authors say about fluvial processes, the environment, and management of gravel-bed rivers. Learn about efforts to restore more-natural ecosystem functions to adversely impacted rivers. And for some mind-stretching, consider the hydraulic/geomorphic implications of cataclysmic floods on Earth and Mars. Beginning in 1980 and held at five-year intervals, these workshops have brought together leading international researchers to present and discuss new results, concepts and state-of-the-art methods to analyze fluvial processes in and manage gravel-bed rivers. The fourth workshop was held at Gold Bar, Washington, near the dynamic Skykomish River and strikingly beautiful Cascade Mountains. Workshop papers and discussions are published to document new concepts and ideas for broad use by those who study, manage or have general interests in rivers. This fourth Gravel-Bed Rivers Workshop covers three focus topics. The first topic reviews new developments regarding fluvial processes, sediment transport and channel morphology -- in eight chapters on distinct subjects. The second and third focus topics strongly emphasize gravel-beds rivers in the environment, their influences, and their management -- in the next 19 chapters. River restoration is examined for large European and North American rivers as parts of several of the environment-management chapters. Seven appended "short papers" report on research in progress, presented at the Workshop in a poster-discussion session. Also included are two special-interest chapters -- on giving a detailed analysis and morphologic/hydraulic interpretation of cataclysmic floods and one summarizing a field exercise in management options for a long braided-meandering reach of the Skykomish River near Gold Bar."--Publisher's description.
