Vegetation of Southwestern Watersheds in the Nineteenth Century, 1951

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 1.5
Scope and Contents

Abstract: To determine the general conditions of vegetation in pre-grazing days in the Southwest and what changes, if any, have occurred in the last 50 years, the author has inspected and analyzed the original journals of early explorers and travelers and compared early photographs (1895-1903) with more recent ones taken from the same spot. Originally published: The geographical review ; v. 41, no. 2 (1951).

Rainfall Frequency: An Aspect of Climatic Variation, 1951

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 1.6
Scope and Contents Abstract: Analyses which have been made in the past have shown no significant trend in annual values of rainfall during the period of rainfall records in the southwestern United States. In the present study, frequency of daily rains of various sizes are analyzed for four long-record stations in New Mexico. Frequency of rains of various sizes comprising wet years and dry are compared. Some effects of changes in rainfall frequency on vegetation and erosion are discussed. Originally published:...

Downstream Change of Velocity in Rivers, 1953

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 1.7
Scope and Contents Abstract: Because river slope generally decreases in a downstream direction, it is generally supposed that velocity of flow also decreases downstream. Analysis of some of the large number of velocity measurements made at stream-gaging stations demonstrates that mean velocity generally tends to increase downstream. Although there are many reaches in nearly all rivers where mean velocity decreases downstream, the general tendency for conservation or for downstream increase was found in all...

River Meanders, 1960

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 1.8
Scope and Contents Authors: Luna B. Leopold and M. Gordon Wolman. Abstract: Most river curves have nearly the same value of the ration of curvature radius to channel width, in the range of 2 to 3. Meanders formed by meltwater on the surface of glaciers, and by the main current of the Gulf Stream, have a relation of meander length to channel width similar to rivers. Because such meanders carry no sediment, the shapes of the curves in rivers are evidently determined primarily by the dynamics of flow rather than...

Rivers, 1962

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 1.10
Scope and Contents Abstract: Rivers are both the means and the routes by which the products of continental weathering are carried to the oceans of the world. Except in the most arid areas, more water falls as precipitation than is lost by evaporation and transpiration from the land surface to the atmosphere. Thus there is an excess of water, which must flow to the ocean. Rivers, then are the routes by which this excess water flows to the ultimate base level. Originally published: American...
