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.
