The Brief, Tumultuous Life Of Logjams In Rocky Mountain National Park

Wohl , Ellen 1 1 Colorado State University Channel-spanning logjams occur on rivers throughout Rocky Mountain National Park. Each jam creates a backwater area in which finer sediment and organic matter are deposited. Jams thus slow the downstream movement of water, sediment, and nutrients. The backwater at a jam provides...

Age And Origin Of Waters: What Hydrogen And Oxygen Isotopes In A Glacierized Catchment Can Tell Us

Wilson , Alāna M. 1 ; Williams , Mark W. 2 1 Geography & INSTAAR, CU 鶹 2 Geography & INSTAAR, CU 鶹 New results from tritium (H3) analysis of waters from the Langtang Valley, Nepal offer insight into the relative ages of different source waters in the glacierized catchment...

High-Rate Injection Is Associated With The Increase In U.S. Mid-Continent Seismicity

Weingarten , Matthew 1 ; Ge , Shemin 2 1 University of Colorado-鶹 2 University of Colorado-鶹 An unprecedented increase in earthquakes in the central and eastern US (CEUS) began in 2009. Many of these earthquakes have been documented as likely induced by wastewater injection. To better understand the likelihood...

Incorporating Deeply Uncertain Factors Into The Many Objective Search Process: Improving Adaptation To Environmental Change

Watson , Abigail 1 ; Kasprzyk , Joseph 2 1 CU-鶹 2 CU-鶹 Increasingly, decision support systems seek to provide structured robust decision-making support for stakeholders and decision makers under the context of deep uncertainty. Deep uncertainty refers to situations in which stakeholders or decision makers do not know, or...

The Center For Water, Earth Science And Technology (CWEST)

Tomkinson , Lauren J 1 1 INSTAAR The Center for Water, Earth Science and Technology (CWEST) is a scientific and educational partnership between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and CU 鶹. Housed within the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR), CWEST enhances the many successful and ongoing collaborations taking...

Streams, Soils, Strategies And (Stressed Out?) Survivors - Ecohydrology In Seasonally Dry Climates

Thompson , Sally 1 1 University of California, Berkeley Seasonally dry ecosystems (or SDEs) include Mediterranean, Monsoonal and Tropically Dry climates. SDEs occur worldwide and share a pronounced contrast in precipitation between a wet season, and a dry season in which little to no rain falls. Water availability in SDEs...

Simulation Of Daily Flow Data Using A Stochastic Nonparametric Model (K-Nearest Neighbor)

Szafranski , Bill 1 1 University of Colorado, 鶹 Daily flow data for the Usk River in Wales was simulated using a nonparametric bootstrap procedure that captures autocorrelation called k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) (Lall and Sharma, 1996). The objective of the modeling approach was to obtain a lengthy and robust daily...

U.S. EPA STAR National Center For Innovation In Small Drinking Water Systems:

Summers , R. Scott 1 1 UC-鶹 The Design of Risk Reducing, Innovative Implementable Small System Knowledge(DeRISK) Center?s overall objectives will focus on applying principles of risk reduction, sustainability and new implementation approaches to innovative technologies that will reduce the risk associated with key contaminant groups and will increase the...

Inside The Ice: Insights From Thermo-Mechanically Coupled Modeling Of High-Elevation Regions Of The Greenland Ice Sheet

Sommers , Aleah 1 ; Rajaram , Harihar 2 ; Colgan , William 3 1 University of Colorado 2 University of Colorado at 鶹, Department of Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering 3 Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland As observations become more plentiful through remote sensing and numerical models become...

Monitoring The Terrestrial Water Cycle With Reflected GPS Signals

Small , Eric E. 1 ; Larson , Kristine M. 2 1 Geological Sciences, CU 鶹 2 Aerospace Engineering Sciences, CU 鶹 Data from NSF's EarthScope Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO), and similar GPS networks worldwide, can be used to monitor the terrestrial water cycle. GPS satellites transmit L-band microwave signals,...
