Journal ArticleDOI
Legacies of catastrophic rock slope failures in mountain landscapes
TL;DR: In this paper, a review examines interpretive issues relating to catastrophic, long-runout landslides in the context of large numbers of recently discovered late Quaternary events and links relevant research in landslide science, including some novel or hitherto unrecognized complexities in the nature and role of these events, to broader concerns of mountain geomorphology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short‐term spatial and temporal patterns of suspended sediment transfer in proglacial channels, small River Glacier, Canada
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used multivariate statistics to characterize spatial and temporal variability in suspended sediment transfer patterns for the entire proglacial area at Small River Glacier, British Columbia, Canada.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evidence for paraglacial sedimentation and its temporal scale in the deglacierizing basin of Small River Glacier, Canada
John F. Orwin,C. C. Smart +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the timescale of landscape adjustment to Little Ice Age (LIA) deglacierization at Small River Glacier, Canada was investigated using aerial photograph interpretation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A framework for characterizing fluvial sediment fluxes from source to sink in cold environments
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that sediment flux from most cold environments is particularly sensitive to environmental change and demonstrate high variability in flow and sediment flux and as such are particularly susceptible to environmental changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
An inexpensive turbidimeter for monitoring suspended sediment
John F. Orwin,C. C. Smart +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the design and testing of an inexpensive, custom-built, datalogger-compatible and rugged infrared nephelometric turbidimeter (HOBS).
