The Green River is a major tributary of the Colorado River with a drainage area of 115 770 km2 in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. The influence of Flaming Gorge Dam on sediment transport and the potential for future channel change were studied using comparative analysis of historical aerial photographs from 1952 to 1987 and geographical information systems, published sediment (1951-86) and discharge (1965-87) records, and sediment data collected during 1986-8. Since the closure of the dam in 1964, new equilibrium channel widths were apparently achieved by 1974 in the reach 161-279 km below Flaming Gorge Reservoir and by 1981 in the reach 465-509 km below the reservoir. Recent high flows have resulted in an increase...
