A review of groundwater in high mountain environments

LD Somers, JM McKenzie - Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Mountain water resources are of particular importance for downstream populations but are
threatened by decreasing water storage in snowpack and glaciers. Groundwater …

A synopsis of climate change effects on groundwater recharge

BD Smerdon - Journal of Hydrology, 2017 - Elsevier

are briefly summarized. This synopsis focuses on aspects related to predicting changes to …

The East River, Colorado, Watershed: A mountainous community testbed for improving predictive understanding of multiscale hydrological–biogeochemical dynamics

SS Hubbard, KH Williams, D Agarwal… - Vadose Zone …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Core Ideas Development of a 300‐km2 mountainous headwater testbed began in 2016 in

Simulating coupled surface–subsurface flows with ParFlow v3. 5.0: capabilities, applications, and ongoing development of an open-source, massively parallel …

BNO Kuffour, NB Engdahl… - Geoscientific Model …, 2020 - gmd.copernicus.org
Surface flow and subsurface flow constitute a naturally linked hydrologic continuum that has
not traditionally been simulated in an integrated fashion. Recognizing the interactions …

Snowmelt controls on concentration‐discharge relationships and the balance of oxidative and acid‐base weathering fluxes in an alpine catchment, E ast R iver, C …

MJ Winnick, RWH Carroll, KH Williams… - Water Resources …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Although important for riverine solute and nutrient fluxes, the connections between
biogeochemical processes and subsurface hydrology remain poorly characterized. We …

The imprint of climate and geology on the residence times of groundwater

RM Maxwell, LE Condon, SJ Kollet… - Geophysical …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Surface and subsurface flow dynamics govern residence time or water age until discharge,
which is a key metric of storage and water availability for human use and ecosystem …

The relationship between contrasting ages of groundwater and streamflow

WR Berghuijs, JW Kirchner - Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Tracer data demonstrate that waters in aquifers are often much older than the stream waters
that drain them. This contrast in water ages has lacked a general quantitative explanation …

Sensitivity of catchment transit times to rainfall variability under present and future climates

DC Wilusz, CJ Harman, WP Ball - Water Resources Research, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Hydrologists have a relatively good understanding of how rainfall variability shapes the
catchment hydrograph, a reflection of the celerity of hydraulic head propagation. Much less …

Cosmogenic isotopes unravel the hydrochronology and water storage dynamics of the Southern Sierra Critical Zone

A Visser, M Thaw, A Deinhart, R Bibby… - Water Resources …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
One of the principal questions in hydrology is how and when water leaves the critical zone
storage as either stream flow or evapotranspiration. We investigated subsurface water …

A review of spatial Markov models for predicting pre-asymptotic and anomalous transport in porous and fractured media

T Sherman, NB Engdahl, G Porta, D Bolster - Journal of Contaminant …, 2021 - Elsevier
Heterogeneity across a broad range of scales in geologic porous media often manifests in
observations of non-Fickian or anomalous transport. While traditional anomalous transport …
