A Sensor Driven Transformation In The Hydrologic Sciences: How New Tools Are Enabling New Insights In Catchment And River Processes

Aug. 6, 2018

Cohen , Matthew J 1 1 University of Florida Rivers are the primary conveyance for water and solutes to the sea, and are increasingly recognized as venues for intensive biogeochemical reactivity. As water and solutes move downstream and exchange with adjacent sediments and slow velocity flowpaths, important reactions occur that...

Streamflow Simulations Under Future Climate Scenarios In The Boulder Creek Watershed, Colorado

Aug. 3, 2018

Zhang , Qinghuan 1 ; Williams , Mark 2 ; Livneh , Ben 3 1 University of Colorado Boulder 2 University of Colorado Boulder 3 University of Colorado Boulder Mountainous areas have complex geological features and climatic variability, which limit our ability to simulate and predict hydrologic processes in these...

Increased Stream Temperature In Response To Extreme Precipitation Events

Aug. 3, 2018

Wilson , Colleen E 1 ; Gooseff , Michael N 2 1 INSTAAR 2 INSTAAR Aquatic ecosystem temperature regulation is essential to the survival of riverine fish species restricted to limited water temperature ranges. Dissolved oxygen levels, similarly necessary to fish health, are decreased by rising temperatures, as warmer waters...

Using Ground Penetrating Radar To Assess The Variability Of Snow Water Equivalent And Melt In A Mixed Canopy Forest, Northern Colorado

Aug. 3, 2018

Webb , Ryan 1 1 Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, University of Colorado Snow is an important environmental variable in headwater systems that controls hydrological processes such as streamflow, groundwater recharge, and evapotranspiration. These processes will be affected by both the amount of snow available for melt and the...
