Zhang , Qinghuan 1 ; Williams , Mark 2 ; Livneh , Ben 3 1 Â鶹¹ÙÍø 2 Â鶹¹ÙÍø 3 Â鶹¹ÙÍø 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

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

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...

Temporal Signatures Of Hyporheic Exchange And Stream Metabolism In Glacial Meltwater Streams, Antarctica

Torrens , Christa L. 1 ; Gooseff , Michael N. 2 1 INSTAAR - University of Colorado, Â鶹¹ÙÍø 2 INSTAAR - University of Colorado, Â鶹¹ÙÍø Glacial meltwater streams in the McMurdo Dry Valleys [MDV], Antarctica flow 4-12 weeks per year during the austral summer. Instream algal mats provide most of...

Application Of Elementary Solutions In Groundwater Modeling

Strack , Otto D.L. 1 1 Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geo- Engi- neering, College of Science and Technology, University of Minnesota Groundwater flow modeling has become increasingly sophisticated as modeling tools have evolved from early computer programs that required elaborate input and produced output in terms of sheets full...

Connecting Water Managers, Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms, And Multivariate Regression Trees To Support Water Utility Planning On The Front Range

Smith , Rebecca 1 ; Kasprzyk , Joseph 2 1 University of Colorado at Â鶹¹ÙÍø 2 University of Colorado at Â鶹¹ÙÍø In light of the unpredictable effects of climate change and population shifts, responsible resource management will require new types of information and strategies going forward. For water utilities, this...
