  • 7/' / 7? Title: Composition, Distribution and Succession of Subal Ne Meadows In
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Jan Alan Henderson for theDoctor of Philosophy inPlant Ecology (Botany) presented on 9 7/' / 7? Title: Composition, Distribution and Succession of Subal ne Meadows in Mount Rainier National Park Abstract approved: --' Dr. W. W. Chilcote In 1970 a phytoscxiological reconnaissance consisting of 135 plots in the Subalpine Meadow Zone was made. These samples were sorted using an association table and several Alpine Zone and very early seral communities were set aside, An additional hundred plots taken by M. 3. Hamann were incorporated with these and compiled in another association table and com- bined in a two-dimensional ordination.This analysis yielded 18 major and 16 minor described community types which were clustered into five vegetation types. A key to the vegetation and community types is also presented. Soil moisture and temperature data were taken during 1971 and 1972 and are used to help characterize selected important communities. Soil moistures did not drop much during either season, although differences between corn- munities are apparent. The difference in temperatures (of the top 2 cm of soil) of the same selected communities were more striking. The Festuca domi- nated communities experienced soil temperatures over350C, while maximum temperatures in other communities rarely ranged over 20 C Low mght- time temperatures were relatively similar from conimumty to commumty, ranging from near freezing to about + 5° C. Several successional patterns were uncovered. In general the com- munities in the Low-Herbaceous Vegetation Type are early seral and are replaced by members of the Wet-Sedge, Lush-Herbaceous and the Dry-Grass Vegetation Types.

  • The Big One Opportunities That Rainier Has to Offer, Just in Time for You to Start Making Your Own Summer Hiking Plans
    May + June 2011 » Washington Trails 21 On Trail Northwest Explorer » Living in the Northwest, we have no shortage of wilderness locations to escape into for a day—or a week. On any ol’ weekend, we could be climbing to the rim of smoldering Mount St. Helens, journeying through lush rain forests in the Olympics or trekking across the jagged ridges of the North Cascades. And while all of these places, and so many more locations, are outstanding, nothing quite compares with the majesty—or sheer immensity—of “The Mountain.” But when you think about hiking that Mountain, where do you even start? With over 240 miles of hiking trails (not counting mountaineering routes), spread over 378 square miles, there’s a lot to choose from. Add to that the incredible amount of scenic features—473 streams and rivers, 292 lakes, 122 waterfalls, 25 named glaciers, and more meadows, valleys, wildflowers, old-growth forest, and mind- numbing views than you can shake a trekking pole at—and the task of choosing a trail can no doubt be daunting. Thankfully, there are stacks of helpful guidebooks available to get you started. But even as great as most of those guidebooks are—full of inspiring photos and informative elevation profile graphs (a feature I particularly appreciate)—you’re still trying to whittle down from 50-plus options. And if you’re unfamiliar with The Mountain, what you’re really thinking Backpacking is, “Where do I go to get the really good stuff?” Well, this month, you’re in luck. From shorter starter trails to the granddaddy of round-the- mountain adventures, we’ll highlight five—and only five—of the most outstanding hiking the Big One opportunities that Rainier has to offer, just in time for you to start making your own summer hiking plans.

    Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research 139 (2005) 89–102 www.elsevier.com/locate/jvolgeores Evaluating Titan2D mass-flow model using the 1963 Little Tahoma Peak avalanches, Mount Rainier, Washington M.F. Sheridana,*, A.J. Stintona, A. Patrab, E.B. Pitmanc, A. Bauerb, C.C. Nichitac aDepartment of Geology, 876 Natural Science Complex, University at Buffalo, Buffalo NY, 14260, USA bDepartment of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, University at Buffalo, Buffalo NY, 14260, USA cDepartment of Mathematics, University at Buffalo, Buffalo NY, 14260, USA Accepted 29 June 2004 Abstract The Titan2D geophysical mass-flow model is evaluated by comparing its simulation results and those obtained from another flow model, FLOW3D, with published data on the 1963 Little Tahoma Peak avalanches on Mount Rainier, Washington. The avalanches, totaling approximately 10Â106 m3 of broken lava blocks and other debris, traveled 6.8 km horizontally and fell 1.8 km vertically (H/L=0.246). Velocities calculated from runup range from 24 to 42 m/s and may have been as high as 130 m/s while the avalanches passed over Emmons Glacier. Titan2D is a code for an incompressible Coulomb continuum; it is a depth-averaged, dshallow-waterT, granular-flow model. The conservation equations for mass and momentum are solved with a Coulomb-type friction term at the basal interface. The governing equations are solved on multiple processors using a parallel, adaptive mesh, Godunov scheme. Adaptive gridding dynamically concentrates computing power in regions of special interest; mesh refinement and coarsening key on the perimeter of the moving avalanche. The model flow initiates as a pile defined as an ellipsoid by a height (z) and an elliptical base defined by radii in the x and y planes.

  • Mount Rainier National Park Place Names
    Mount Rainier National Park Place Names Gary Fuller Reese. April 10, 2009. PREFACE. Because of its prominence as the "Great Mountain of the Pacific Northwest" Rainier was one of the first features in the Pacific Northwest named by early explorers. The center of a National Park since 1899 most prominent features around the mountain have received names, some of which have become official and some of which a common use. In 1919 Mount Rainier National Park Superintendent Roger Toll wrote about names in the National Park: "The park service is interested in having names applied to the various...scenic points that are now unnamed....the most desirable names...are the original Indian names, or, if these are too long and unpronounceable their English equivalents are often very good. "If no original name can be found, and a name is to be supplied, the Indian names may be drawn upon with advantage, but this should be done by an expert...Descriptive names are good. The only thing most difficult to avoid is the indiscriminate naming of scenic features after persons." While name origins have been found for many locations within the National Park there are a number of places for which origins are missing, especially on the northern side of the mountain. In 1916 Edmond S. Meany wrote about Mount Rainier. He listed many places for which he could not find a name origin. In 1932 the writers of the Encyclopedia of Information on Mount Rainier National Park made a list of locations on the mountain recording that they were unable to supply origins for numbers of them.

TCo GENERAL HAZARD STEVENS EARLY LOVER OF THE MOUNTAIN, THIS BOOK IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED PREFACE MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK is visited annually by increasing thousands of tourists. Many of them seek information about the discoveries and explorations of the mountain and its environs. Much of the information sought, especially that about the origin of place names, has never been published. The annals of discovery and ex- ploration, which have been published, have often appeared in books, pamphlets, or periodicals not easily accessible. It is the purpose of this work to gather the essential por- tions of the desired information within a compact, usable form. During the summer of 1915, the mountain was for the first time encircled by a large company of travelers. Small parties, carrying their luggage and provisions on their backs, had made the trip a number of times. The Moun- taineers Club, in 1915, conducted a party of one hundred, with fully equipped pack train and commissary, around the mountain.
