This is my first post. I am starting this blog to have a quick website where contributors to my project can drop in from time to time and check on my progress, and perhaps see what issues I am thinking about as my research progresses.
Right now I have a project proposal (I'll post it here later as a PDF), I have gathered most of my data, processed most of my raw data and am getting ready, after two years, to start data analysis. I'm taking a course in HEC-RAS in Oregon next month which will be very helpful in the streamflow data analysis. I'm pretty excited about that.
Here is a pretty stream picture to look at. What's going on in this channel? This is just upstream of a large jam in the Albert River. It seems that the channel is aggrading, so the bankfull discharge frequency should be low and the effective discharge should be higher. Sediment is moving into this reach but not out. Once I crunch the numbers I'll know whether or not I'm right.
