Beyond the paired-catchment approach : isotope tracing to illuminate stocks, flows, transit time, and scaling

Creator:

Hale, V. Cody

Abstract:

This dissertation integrates a process-based hydrological investigation with an ongoing paired-catchment study to better understand how forest harvest impacts catchment function at multiple scales. We do this by addressing fundamental questions related to the stocks, flows and transit times of water. Isotope tracers are used within a top-down catchment intercomparison...

Ecohydrological mediation of water budget partitioning and time scales of subsurface flow in a seasonally semi-arid grassland

Creator:

Pangle, Luke A.

Abstract:

Understanding how the interactions and feedbacks between plant function, climate, and soils ultimately affects the terrestrial water balance and subsurface flow processes is major challenge in scientific hydrology. This dissertation summarizes the findings of a manipulative climate warming experiment, an observational field study that utilized stable-isotope tracers, and associated modeling...

A stratigraphic approach to characterize the deposition and storage of organic matter in reservoir sediments

Creator:

Stratton Garvin, Laurel E.

Abstract:

The relationship between carbon burial and sedimentation in reservoirs is unknown, exposing gaps in our fundamental understanding of the transport, processing, and deposition of sediment and organic matter in fluvial and lacustrine systems and contributing to uncertainty in our understanding of the net impact of dams to the global carbon...
