Parasitic And Infectious Disease Responses To Changing Global Nutrient Cycles

McKenzie , Valerie J. 1 1 University of Colorado Parasitic and infectious diseases are a significant threat to human, livestock, and wildlife health and are changing dramatically in the face of human-induced environmental changes such as those in climate and land use. In this talk, I explore the little-studied but...

Hydrologic Connectivity Between Landscapes And Streams

McGlynn , Brian 1 1 Montana State University The relationships between landscape characteristics, water redistribution, and catchment runoff dynamics remain poorly understood. Hydrologic connectivity between catchment upland and near stream areas is essential for the transmission of water and solutes to streams and controls both the magnitude and signature of...

Companion Structured And Unstructured Digital Elevation Model (DEM) Development

Love , Matthew R 1 ; Eakins , Barry W 2 ; Caldwell , Jason R 3 1 CIRES/NGDC 2 CIRES/NGDC 3 CU Â鶹¹ÙÍø CIRES scientists at NGDC have created tested and reviewed a new Digital Elevation Model (DEM) development methodology to build companion structured and unstructured DEMs from the...

Hydrogeologic, Isotopic, And Geochemical Analysis Of Groundwater-Surface Water Interactions Along The Fruitland Outcrop: The Backdrop For Coalbed Methane Development In The Northern San Juan Basin

Kroepsch , Adrianne 1 ; Williams , Mark 2 ; Nydick , Koren 3 ; Gianniny , Gary 4 1 University of Colorado-Â鶹¹ÙÍø 2 University of Colorado 3 Mountain Studies Institute 4 Fort Lewis College There remains considerable uncertainty about how coal bed methane (CBM) production from Colorado’s Fruitland Formation...

Evaluating The Chemical Characteristics And Optical Properties Of Atmospheric Wet Deposition To An Alpine Lake And Snowpack

Kim , Hong S 1 ; Williams , Mark W. 2 ; Schmidt , Steven 3 ; Mladenov , Natalie 4 1 INSTAAR 2 INSTAAR 3 INSTAAR 4 INSTAAR There is an urgency to improve our understanding of how water quality in high-elevation catchments is responding to climate change. Clear,...

Longitudinal Profiles, Neotectonics, And Potential Bedload Transport

Hannon , Mark T 1 ; Kettner , Albert J. 2 ; Syvitski , James P.M. 3 ; Overeem , Irina 4 1 CSDMS, INSTAAR 2 CSDMS, INSTAAR 3 CSDMS, INSTAAR 4 CSDMS, INSTAAR Zones of erosion and deposition, and knowing how to locate them, are of interest to geoscientists,...

Adjoint Based Approach To Quantifying Stream Depletion Due To Aquifer Pumping Using A One-Dimensional Coupled Surface And Groundwater Model

Griebling , Scott A 1 ; Neupauer , Roseanna M 2 1 University of Colorado 2 University of Colorado With growing populations and increased demand for water, it is necessary to ensure that increased pumping of aquifers does not reduce flows in rivers to levels that would limit the availability...

A Conceptual Model Of Water Quantity Impacts From Insect-Induced Tree Death In Coniferous Forests

Gordon , Eric 1 ; Pugh , Evan 2 1 Western Water Assessment 2 Â鶹¹ÙÍø In snow-dominated regions, forested watersheds often provide a considerable portion of the downstream water resources, and tree death can significantly alter many ecohydrologic processes including transpiration, canopy transmission and interception, subcanopy wind...
