Breaking the Window of Detection: Using Multi-Scale Solute Tracer Studies to Assess Mass Recovery at the Detection Limit
Journal Article Water Resources Research · March 1, 2023 Stream solute tracers are commonly injected to assess transport and transformation in study reaches, but results are biased toward the shortest and fastest storage locations. While this bias has been understood for decades, the impact of an experimental co ... Full text CiteSoil 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 ... Full text CiteRecent Grants
