1 A Temporal Hydrologic Database for Rapidly Changing Landscapes Using Mt. St. Helens in Washington as a Pilot Site Adam Mosbrucker Geog 575 BACKGROUND: Client / User U.S. Geological Survey Cascades Volcano Observatory MSH_HYDRO 2 1

2 CVO; Who we are and what we do serve the public live knowledgeably and safely volcanoes and other natural hazards including floods and debris flows goal is to provide accurate and timely information assess hazards before they occur by identifying and studying past hazardous events, their products, ages, and areas that would be affected by similar events in the future Study impact of increased sediment transport on streams and various other geologic or hydrologic processes on the landscape Questions I ve been asked MSH_HYDRO 3 HYDROLOGIC Water quantity Streams Stream gauge/gage(s) Water quality Temp, DO, pollution transport Channel cross sections (limited) Questions I ve been asked MSH_HYDRO 4 2

3 HYDROLOGIC Water quantity Streams Stream gauge/gage(s) Water quality Temp, DO, pollution transport Channel cross sections (limited) CVO HYDROLOGIC Water quantity Streams Stream gauge/gage(s) Water quantity Sediment transport Geomorphology Channel cross section (extensive) Long-term landscape evolution Debris flows/lahars Questions I ve been asked MSH_HYDRO 5 BACKGROUND: Geographic pilot Site: Mt.
