Although it has many positive effects, soil structure may adversely affect the filtering function
of the vadose zone that protects natural water resources from various sources of pollution …

Understanding integrated hydrological phenomena in catchments is difficult because of the
fragmented nature of soil physical and hydrological data, given these are typically derived …

We propose a new architecture based on a fully connected feed-forward Artificial Neural
Network (ANN) model to estimate surface soil moisture from satellite images on a large …

Preferential flow (PF) processes are governed by subsurface soil structures at various
scales. Still, model validation and mechanistic understanding of PF are very lacking. We …

The Critical Zone (CZ) is a holistic framework for integrated studies of water with soil, rock,
air, and biotic resources in the near-surface terrestrial environment. This most …

How does climate control river chemistry? Existing literature has examined extensively the
response of river chemistry to short‐term weather conditions from event to seasonal scales …

The knowledge of the near-surface soil moisture spatio-temporal pattern is an important
issue for hydrological and climatic studies. Because of its high spatial and temporal …

Located in the uplands of the Valley and Ridge physiographic province of Pennsylvania, the
Susquehanna/Shale Hills Critical Zone Observatory (SSHO) is a tectonically quiescent, first …

The accuracy between ordinary kriging and regression kriging was compared based on the
combined consideration of sample size, spatial structure, and auxiliary variables (terrain …

Solute concentrations in stream water vary with discharge in patterns that record complex
feedbacks between hydrologic and biogeochemical processes. In a comparison of three …
