Watershed Controls on the Geomorphology of Small Coastal Lagoons in an Active Tectonic Environment

Watershed Controls on the Geomorphology of Small Coastal Lagoons in an Active Tectonic Environment

This study investigates the relations between watershed precipitation, upstream channel slope, and the geomorphology of 19 small (40 to 18,658 m²), fluvial-incised lagoons in the actively uplifting piedmont near Santa Barbara, CA. Lagoons in the study are funnel-shaped, shallow (
