Biography
Luna Bergere Leopold, professor emeritus of geology and landscape architecture at the University of California, Berkeley,
was born October 8, 1915 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He received a B.S. degree in civil engineering from the University of
Wisconsin, a master's in meteorology from the University of California, Los Angeles, and a Ph.D. from Harvard (1950).
His early career includes experiences with the U.S. Soil Conservation Service, the Army Corps of Engineers, the Bureau of
Reclamation, and the Pineapple Research Institute in Hawaii. From 1957 to 1968, he served as chief hydrologist for the U.S.
Geological Survey's Water Resources Division. In 1972, he joined the faculty of the University of California, Berkeley. In
September 1991, he received the National Medal of Science, the nation's highest scientific honor. Previously, he received
the Distinguished Service Award of the Department of the Interior (1958) and the Rockefeller Public Service Award (1971).
Luna Leopold is the second son of Aldo Leopold, pioneer in scientific wildlife management and author of
A Sand County Almanac, a collection of reflective essays which stands alongside the works of Henry David Thoreau and John Muir as philosophic underpinnings
for the modern environmental movement.
In 1990 and 1991, the Regional Oral History Office, Bancroft Library, conducted a series of interviews with Leopold that
were published in 1993:
Hydrology, Geomorphology, and Environmental Policy : U.S. Geological Survey, 1950-1972, and UC Berkeley, 1972-1987. Berkeley: Regional Oral History Office, Bancroft Library, University of California, 1993.

Vegetation of Southwestern Watersheds in the Nineteenth Century
1951
Scope and Contents
Abstract: To determine the general conditions of vegetation in pre-grazing days in the Southwest and what changes, if any,
have occurred in the last 50 years, the author has inspected and analyzed the original journals of early explorers and travelers
and compared early photographs (1895-1903) with more recent ones taken from the same spot. Originally published:

Box 1, Folder 1.6
Rainfall Frequency: An Aspect of Climatic Variation
1951
Scope and Contents
Abstract: Analyses which have been made in the past have shown no significant trend in annual values of rainfall during the
period of rainfall records in the southwestern United States. In the present study, frequency of daily rains of various sizes
are analyzed for four long-record stations in New Mexico. Frequency of rains of various sizes comprising wet years and dry
are compared. Some effects of changes in rainfall frequency on vegetation and erosion are discussed. Originally published:

Box 1, Folder 1.7
Downstream Change of Velocity in Rivers
1953
Scope and Contents
Abstract: Because river slope generally decreases in a downstream direction, it is generally supposed that velocity of flow
also decreases downstream. Analysis of some of the large number of velocity measurements made at stream-gaging stations demonstrates
that mean velocity generally tends to increase downstream. Although there are many reaches in nearly all rivers where mean
velocity decreases downstream, the general tendency for conservation or for downstream increase was found in all data studied.

Box 1, Folder 1.8
River Meanders
1960
Scope and Contents
Authors: Luna B. Leopold and M. Gordon Wolman. Abstract: Most river curves have nearly the same value of the ration of curvature
radius to channel width, in the range of 2 to 3. Meanders formed by meltwater on the surface of glaciers, and by the main
current of the Gulf Stream, have a relation of meander length to channel width similar to rivers. Because such meanders carry
no sediment, the shapes of the curves in rivers are evidently determined primarily by the dynamics of flow rather than by
relation to debris load. Originally published:
Bulletin of the Geological Society of America; v. 71 (June 1960).
Box 1, Folder 1.9

Rivers
1962
Scope and Contents
Abstract: Rivers are both the means and the routes by which the products of continental weathering are carried to the oceans
of the world. Except in the most arid areas, more water falls as precipitation than is lost by evaporation and transpiration
from the land surface to the atmosphere. Thus there is an excess of water, which must flow to the ocean. Rivers, then are
the routes by which this excess water flows to the ultimate base level. Originally published:
American scientist ; v. 50, no. 4 (December 1962).

Trees and Streams : the Efficiency of Branching Patterns
1970
Scope and Contents
Abstract: Extending the analysis of branching patterns of the drainage net of rivers, originated by Horton, the relation of
average numbers and lengths of tree branches to size of branch was investigated. It was found that, as in river drainage nets,
there is a definite logarithmic relation between branch order and lengths and numbers. Originally published:

River Channel Change with Time : An Example
1973
Scope and Contents
Abstract: Monumented channel cross sections were resurveyed over a period of 20 years (1953 to 1972) to determine the amount
and kind of change of channel area and position on a 3.7-square mile basin, Watts Branch near Rockville, Maryland. Despite
a trend toward increasing cross-sectional area, the net result after 20 years was a channel smaller by 20 percent than it
had been originally. Urbanization did not alter the rate of channel migration. Originally published:

Bedload Measurements, East Fork River, Wyoming
1976
Scope and Contents
Authors: Luna B. Leopold and William W. Emmett. Abstract: A bedload trap in the riverbed provided direct quantitative measurement
of debris-transport rate in the East Fork River, Wyoming, a basin of 466 km( drainage area. Traction load moves only during
the spring snow melt season. Data collected in three spring runoff seasons showed that transport rate is correlated with power
expenditure of the flowing water and at high flows becomes directly proportional to power as suggested by Bagnold. Originally
published:
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ; v. 73, no. 4 (April 1976).
Box 1, Folder 1.21
1976 Bedload Measurements, East Fork River, Wyoming
1977
Scope and Contents
Authors: Luna B. Leopold and William W. Emmett. Abstract: Quantitative measurements of bedload-transport rate in the East
Fork River, Wyoming, show large spatial and temporal variabilities in traction load. Originally published:

Box 1, Folder 1.22
Base Level, Aggradation, and Grade
1979
Scope and Contents
Authors: Luna B. Leopold and William B. Bull. Abstract: The influence of local base level and the effects of a change of base
level can be separated from the influence of hydrologic and geomorphic processes with the basin under certain conditions:
1) observed changes in the longitudinal profile by aggradation or degradation when a local base level is lowered or raised
while the basin remains unchanged; 2) observed changes in aggradation and/or degradation of a valley fill alluvium during
periods of unchanging local base level. Originally published:
Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society ; v. 123, no. 2 (April 1979).
Box 1, Folder 1.23
Techniques and Interpretation: the Sediment Studies of G.K. Gilbert
1980
Scope and Contents
Abstract: The laboratory experiments on sediment transport conducted by G.K. Gilbert differed importantly in technique from
such studies of more recent date. Gilbert's flume was level and could not be altered in slope. Sediment was introduced at
the upper end at a predetermined rate and deposition built a bed gradient sufficient to transport the introduced load. The
adjustment of slope in Gilbert's flume has contributed to the idea widely held by geologists that a river achieves equilibrium
by adjusting its slope to provide just the velocity required for the transportation of the supplied load. Originally published:

Ethos, Equity and the Water Resource
1990
Scope and Contents
Abstract: Discusses two concepts from ancient history and their relevance to the field of water in the modern age: 1) democratic
governance at the will of the people was effective and responsive as long as there existed an ethos in administration, guiding
beliefs even though unwritten into law; 2) democratic guidance was effective when equity-fairness to all-was not submerged
to private or narrow interests. The Abel Wolman Distinguished Lecture, February 1990, National Research Council.

Lag Times for Small Drainage Basins
1991
Scope and Contents
Abstract: Over a period of ten years, simultaneous measurement of storm rainfall and resulting runoff during individual storms
were made in small basins in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. By simple measurement, without any recording devices,
data collected define a relation of basin lag time, expressed as time between center of mass of rainfall and center of mass
of runoff, is a specific measure of some basin characteristics including the effect of urbanization. Originally published:
Catena; v. 18, no. 2 (April 1991).
Box 1, Folder 1.28
Base Level Rise: Gradient of Deposition
1992
Scope and Contents
Abstract: A rise in base level, as behind a check dam, causes deposition of sediment. When deposition is complete, the gradient
of the deposited surface is only about half that of the original channel. This new gradient does not increase with time. No
known method of computation explains how incoming sediment is transported over the low gradient zone of deposition. Originally
published:

Hydrology of Some Tidal Channels in Estuarine Marshland Near San Francisco
1993
Scope and Contents
Authors: Luna B. Leopold, J. N. Collins, and L. M. Collins. Abstract: Measurements of velocity, depth, discharge, and slope
were simultaneously made at ten gages along a natural estuarine channel 19,000 feet in length in Petaluma Marsh, California.
Along the study reach the channel decreases from a width of 47 feet at its mouth to nearly zero at its headward extent, with
accompanying decrease in depth. Though gage height varies with time in a smooth sinusoidal manner at all stations, this is
not true for velocity, discharge, or slope. Originally published:
Catena; v. 20 (October 1993).

Valley Changes in the Mediterranean and America and Their Effects on Humans
1998
Scope and Contents
Authors: Luna B. Leopold and Claudio Vita-Finzi. Abstract: River valleys in the Mediterranean, the Near East, the southwestern
United States, and Mexico have repeatedly alternated between alluviation and erosion, changing the availability of water and
agricultural land. The timing and magnitude of the various episodes suggest that the principal cause is a shift in precipitation
patterns. Human activity has distorted the severity and the initiation of these changes that have at times been beneficial
and at other times detrimental to the local population. Originally published:
