Evaluating the geomorphic channel response to beaver dam analog installation using unoccupied aerial vehicles Open
Beaver dam analogs (BDAs) are a stream restoration technique that is rapidly gaining popularity in the western United States. These low-cost, stream-spanning structures, designed after natural beaver dams, are being installed to confer the…

Chloride load dynamics along channelized and intact reaches in a northeastern United States urban headwater stream Open
Sodium chloride has long been used for winter deicing, although its legacy use has resulted in rising chloride concentrations in urban watersheds. Persistently high chloride levels impair drinking water resources and threaten the health of…

Legacy effects of cemeteries on groundwater quality and nitrate loads to a headwater stream Open
Residential development and urbanization have increased nutrient loads to streams and groundwater through increased use of fertilizers and discharge of wastewater effluent. Stream degradation in urbanizing areas has simultaneously reduced …

Dynamic Evapotranspiration Alters Hyporheic Flow and Residence Times in the Intrameander Zone Open
Hyporheic zones (HZs) influence biogeochemistry at the local reach scale with potential implication for water quality at the large catchment scale. The characteristics of the HZs (e.g., area, flux rates, and residence times) change in resp…

Glacier loss and hydro-social risks in the Peruvian Andes Open
Accelerating glacier recession in tropical highlands and in the Peruvian Andes specifically is a manifestation of global climate change that is influencing the hydrologic cycle and impacting water resources across a range of socio-environm…
View article: Using Diurnal Temperature Signals to Infer Vertical Groundwater‐Surface Water Exchange
Using Diurnal Temperature Signals to Infer Vertical Groundwater‐Surface Water Exchange Open
Heat is a powerful tracer to quantify fluid exchange between surface water and groundwater. Temperature time series can be used to estimate pore water fluid flux, and techniques can be employed to extend these estimates to produce detailed…

Methane occurrence is associated with sodium‐rich valley waters in domestic wells overlying the <span>M</span>arcellus shale in <span>N</span>ew <span>Y</span>ork <span>S</span>tate Open
Prior work suggests spatial parameters (e.g., landscape position, distance to nearest gas well) can be used to estimate the amount of dissolved methane in domestic drinking water wells overlying the deep Marcellus Shale. New York (NY) prov…

Measuring glacier surface temperatures with ground‐based thermal infrared imaging Open
Spatially distributed surface temperature is an important, yet difficult to observe, variable for physical glacier melt models. We utilize ground-based thermal infrared imagery to obtain spatially distributed surface temperature data for a…
