...Noah P. Snyder; Lisa L. Kammer Abstract We studied the 1941 diversion of Furnace Creek Wash (drainage area 439 km 2 ) into Gower Gulch (5.8 km 2 ) as an experiment in the transient response of a channel to a large change in water and sediment discharge. We measured sequential changes in valley...
