Title | Geomorphic Changes in the Lower Reaches of Carriger Creek, Sonoma County |
Abstract | The high rate of bank erosion, loss of riparian vegetation and perennial flow, flooding, and loss of fish habitat in the lower creek have raised concern among local residents about the health of their watershed. As a result, a detailed quantitative field study of creek conditions and processes was conducted from June through September 2000 in the lower 3.9 miles of Carriger Creek. |
