Soil Moisture Responses to Rainfall: Implications for Runoff Generation
Journal Article Water Resources Research · September 1, 2021 Soil moisture is a key control on runoff generation and biogeochemical processes on hillslopes. Precipitation events can evoke different soil moisture responses with depth through the soil profile, and responses can differ among landscape positions along a ...

Journal Article Environmental Research Letters · July 1, 2021 Mountaintop mining, like all forms of surface mining, fundamentally alters the landscape to extract resources that lie 10-100 ms below the land surface. Despite these deep, critical zone alterations, post-mining landscapes are required by United States law ...
