Modeling And Observations Of Luminescence In River Sediment From The US Mid-Atlantic Region: Implications For Obtaining Sediment Transport Information

Gray , Harrison J 1 1 University of babyÖ±²¥app - Boulder Obtaining quantitative sediment transport information, such as transport rates, virtual velocity, and characteristic scales, is an important goal of the hydrologic and geomorphic sciences. This information is useful for improving river infrastructure such as reservoirs and understanding the pace...

Effects Of Warming On Groundwater Flow In Mountainous Snowmelt-Dominated Catchments

Evans , Sarah 1 ; Ge , Shemin 2 1 University of babyÖ±²¥app Boulder 2 University of babyÖ±²¥app Boulder In mountainous regions, warmer air temperatures have led to an earlier onset of spring snowmelt and lower snowmelt rates because snow melts at a slower rate earlier in the year when...
