Impact of wind and rain on vegetation in Mendocino CA Jan 14, 2023
After 4.25 inches of rain tapering off in the hours before this hike, I just wanted to share some of the water and vegetation story. In the past 10 days it has rained on the order of 20 inches, and the winds have at times been very high, resulting in soft soil, heavy limbs, and lots of downed branches and trees.

The creek brimming with groundwater
มุมมอง 552 ปีที่แล้ว
The creek 18 hrs after the end of a 24 hr 3.5 in rainfall event on already saturated soil. The clarity of the water illustrates that this is groundwater emerging rather than direct surface flow.

This was taken about 18 hrs after an all-day rainfall event which dropped a total of 3.5" stopped. Notice the water is fairly clear: this is primarily groundwater. Had we seen this during the storm I believe it would have been very heavy with sediments.

Would be lovely to have one of this at my workplace, which is a university (for educational purpose)
This can be done, if your country is participating in TAHMO. These are primarily in Sub-Saharan countries in Africa. If you are in this area, you can look at TAHMO.org for more information.
Great explanation.
Chuck guard?
Good teacher
What a beautiful landscape.
Absolutely! It is open, hilly, varied, and the plants are lucious.The Madrone and Manzanita trees are sensuous and soft, while the shrubs are invasive swine are prickly and pernicious.
Impressive how little erosion there was with such intense rain. Either it soaked in rapidly or the surface handled large short-term flows without erosion. Next time go out in the middle of the storm and have a look ;)
Does this suggest limited infiltration rate and impermeable layers or the groundwater is recharged up to that elevation (well above the creek)? It's only coming out in certain places, not everywhere.
This would be my interpretation: local horizontal impermeable layers that intercept the percolating water. I wish I knew what the "regional" or "deep" groundwater table was doing!
Mostly large branches rather than full trees? If so, maybe not harmful to the trees or even helpful to get some pruning? Even without leaves they catch wind, but much more damage if they had leaves. Smart trees.
Yeah, I would say that there was no perfectly healthy wood down. The mix of full trees and branches was about 25%/75%, so mostly branches, but plenty of full trees as well. "Sickly" oaks are the foundation of this ecosystem, providing animal habitat and nutrient cycling. Smart ecosystem!
In this spongy hillslope I would expect high infiltration and reemergence of what I would call delayed baseflow - calling it "groundwater" this high in the topography is bit of a stretch in my opinion. Are there wells high up on the ridge? In any case, this is very beautiful and interesting documentation of a massive rainfall event.
This water soaked in (with zero direct runoff), then emerged about 100-200m down-slope on a slope with an angle of about 30 degrees. My impression is that the water percolated vertically for something on the order of 50-100m, and then moved laterally for 100-200m. I call that groundwater: you can call it Fred or Pete - these are just labels. "Delayed base flow"? not sure that is well defined in hydrology, but no worries.
Thanks Doc., your brief presentation is quite interesting and I think I would like to collaborate with you
Dude, your style is tremendous.
Never never never wear gloves when using a lathe. Take off your rings, watch, jewelry, and do not use the lathe while wearing long sleeves.
I'm Civil Engineering student from Brazil and very interested in soil behavior. I'm delighted with these lectures. You are amazing, thanks!
You are obviously showing this to a class. OMG I recall being in those classes and I remember listening and the then the information went in one ear and out the other. I can remember thinking yeah yeah get on with it. I'm now 67 and have my own mill etc and what you are saying is so so important but frankly I learnt it the hard way. Oh how frustrating it must be to be a teacher
Good job except = never wear gloves while using the lathe, drill press etc.
Very usefull for GSCE Engineering when the video set doesn't work.
Very cool! I guess this also transports heat upward, which would make the soil with water act something like a material with higher thermal conductivity, leading to an inflection of thermal gradient between liquid and dry zones. And given exponential behavior of vapor capacity, temperature shouldn't be quite linear in the liquid water zone.
Very nice
Great
thank you very much Dr. Selker
awesome presentation design
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks sir for your lecture, you have given a very simplest understanding of soil
thanks! We have more lectures coming!
interesting ! communal song ! Please add details ! This is great !
Great system and video. You are both unstoppable!
Bless your heart Laurie, you are serving as guide for others in your situation. Get well, you will be"vertical" soon!
Very Very good delivery , i understood quite well
Great videos I hope more people find these safety videos - will make more people comfortable to try machining
You just made this very easy to understand, thank you very much sir!
Why so few views?
So 500 ml/12 minutes means 2.5l/hr over 78 cm^2. so that is a 320 mm/hr rainfall rate (about 1/3 meter per hour, which is just over 12 inches per hour).
