Clackamas River
Topography and ground conditions were important factors in controlling the distribution of individual Columbia River Basalt Group (CRBG) flows in western Oregon. The Columbia trans-arc lowland, the Yakima fold belt, the Portland Hills–Clackamas River structural zone, and Cascadian volcanism largely controlled the distribution of CRBG flows across the Miocene Cascade Range. The first flows to cross the Miocene Cascades into the Willamette Valley encroached onto a low-relief topography generally consisting of eroded Tertiary-age marine sedimentary rocks deformed along northwest-trending structural zones, volcanic highs, and estuaries. No north-south trough affected the distribution and thickness of the CRBG in the Willamette Valley, but an incipient Coast Range acted as a leaky barrier to the Oregon coast. Water-saturated sediments rapidly extracted heat from advancing CRBG lava flows, producing narrow, abnormally thick lobes extending along existing topographic lows. Deformation along the northwest-trending Portland Hills–Clackamas River structural zone produced a major topographic barrier early and late in the incursion of CRBG flows. The CRBG thins across this zone from 600 to 150 m. This zone diverted the earliest Grande Ronde flows into and through the Portland Basin. Some of the succeeding R 2 and N 2 Grande Ronde flows were able to cross this zone and followed another structural low, the Sherwood trough, to the Oregon coast. The total thickness of CRBG along the Sherwood trough is approximately 300 m, about twice that on either side. Paleodrainage developed during time intervals between emplacement of CRBG flows. The positions of these drainage courses were influenced by the position of the CRBG flow margins and/or structural lows. A longer hiatus between flows (> 100,000 yr) enabled rivers to develop major canyons by headward erosion, which served to channelize subsequent CRBG flows.

Hydrogeology of the Columbia River Basalt Group in the northern Willamette Valley, Oregon
ABSTRACT Basalt flows of the Columbia River Basalt Group (CRBG) host a series of regionally extensive aquifers between western Idaho and the Pacific Ocean that serve as an important source for domestic, municipal, agricultural, and industrial water supply throughout much of this area, and are the sole source for some communities in the Willamette Valley. Rapid growth and increased pumping have resulted in significant water level declines in some locales in the Willamette Valley, forcing some communities to develop other water sources, and/or develop aquifer storage and recovery projects to store water in CRBG aquifers. The CRBG generally consists of multiple concordant, tabular sheet flows. The primary water-bearing horizons within the CRBG are associated the vesicular and/ or brecciated flow top and flow bottom (pillow/hyaloclastite) structures that form the interflow zone between two flows. The interiors of the CRBG flows typically have limited vertical permeability and act as aquitards, creating a series of layered confined aquifers. The dominant groundwater flow pathway in the CRBG aquifer system is along these individual, laterally extensive, interflow zones. Tectonic structures may modify the dominant flow regime in the CRBG by offsetting or otherwise disturbing originally laterally continuous interflow zones. Faults result in a wide spectrum of effects on flow in the CRBG aquifers depending on the nature of the fault. The hydraulic properties inherent to CRBG aquifers, including high degree of confinement, low bulk permeability and limited recharge have led to overdraft conditions in many areas. Conversely, these characteristics create favorable conditions for aquifer storage and recovery system development in the central Willamette Valley and Tualatin Basin.
Snowpack data collection in the Mount Hood area using SNOTEL and geomorphic events related to snowmelt
Abstract This field trip guide describes a one-day loop from Portland eastward around Mount Hood and returning through the Columbia River Gorge. The purpose is to visit a SNOTEL (SNOwpack TELemetry) site to observe processes and instrumentation applied in automated snowpack data collection, as well as observe geomorphic features related to snowmelt in the western United States. Annual snow accumulation in the higher elevations in the western United States provides a critical source of water for irrigation, hydroelectric power generation, municipal water supplies, and recreation. Snowmelt, however, also can cause various hydrogeologic hazards, such as floods and debris flows.
