Dune And Ripple Scaling Dynamics

2 Presenting Author 1 University of Colorado at ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ, Geological Sciences 2 University of Colorado at ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ, Geological Sciences 3 Snow bedforms cover around 8% of the world, mainly on Greenland and Antarctica. Despite being more widespread than sand dunes but have not been the subject of as much research...

Toward Improved Reservoir Management Via Hydrologic Uncertainty Quantification

Kasprzyk , Joseph 1 1 ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ Due to climatic and land use change, water managers are increasingly interested in the influence of uncertainty in their systems. Current hydrologic forecasting frameworks often consider variable initial conditions to represent a range of potential conditions, and use statistical models to...

Simulating The Nonlinear Response Of Alpine And Subalpine Snowpacks To Climate Warming

Jennings , Keith S 1 ; Molotch , Noah P 2 1 ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ 2 ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ It is well known that climate warming invokes nonlinear responses in snow accumulation and melt within the seasonal snow zone. Previous research has shown that higher, colder sites are...

Seasonal Fluctuations In Tree Water Sourcing At H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest

Jarvis , Stephanie K 1 ; Barnard , Holly 2 ; Singah , Kamini 3 1 INSTAAR 2 INSTAAR 3 Colorado School of Mines The model of ecohydrological separation suggests that trees source water from a different subsurface pool than what is contributing to stream flow during dry periods, however...

Pipes, Chimneys, And Processors: Examining Thresholds Of Carbon Transport, Reactivity, And Fate In Inland Waters

Hotchkiss , Erin 1 1 Biological Sciences, Virginia Tech Despite much research identifying inland waters as active players in the carbon cycle, the relative role of hydrologic transport and in situ transformations in controlling carbon fluxes and fate along aquatic continua is still uncertain. Further, conclusions about the function of...

Science-Action Partnerships To Quantify Changes To Nutrient Cycling And Water Resources And Inform Sustainable Management In California’s $62B Wine Industry

Hinckley , Eve-Lyn S. 1 1 Environmental Studies, Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research; CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ California’s wine industry is both a major revenue stream to the State, at $62B per year, and a hydro-biogeochemical manipulation at a grand scale. During the growing (dry) season, winegrowers apply an average of...

Rapid Assessment Of Remote River Systems To Inform System-Wide Basin Planning Approaches And Promote Environmental Conservation: A Case Study On Marañón River, Peru

Addressing Arctic Aufeis As Unique And Critical Ecological Habitats

Hendrickson , Patrick J 1 ; Gooseff , Michael N 2 ; Huryn , Alexander D 3 1 University of Colorado-ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ 2 University of Colorado-ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ 3 University of Alabama Aufeis (icings or naleds) are seasonal arctic and sub-arctic features that form through repeated overflow and freeze events of river or...

Assessing The Impacts Of Wildfire On Sedimentation And Runoff In The Colorado Front Range

Heldmyer , Aaron J 1 ; Livneh , Ben 2 ; Kampf , Stephanie 3 1 ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ 2 ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ 3 Colorado State University Abstract. The complex effects of wildfire disturbances on the quality and availability of water are far-reaching and often difficult to anticipate,...

Alpine Hydrogeology: The Critical Role Of Groundwater In Sourcing The Headwaters Of The World

Hayashi , Masaki 1 1 Department of Geoscience, University of Calgary Many of us have been awed by the stunningly beautiful view of alpine lakes and streams – and they are not just beautiful. Nearly half of the world population relies on rivers originating in high mountains for water supply...
