This review shows that water storage capacity in the critical zone can change on climate-relevant timescales, yet remains difficult to measure and model—especially in the subsurface. Advances from long-term observatoriesContinue reading “Seeing the Unseen: New Frontiers in Dynamic Water Storage and Modeling”

This new publication sheds light into the coevolution of montane forests and snowpack response to forest treatments through the coupling of the process-based snow model SnowPALM and the ecohydrological modelContinue reading “How do trees and snowpack co-evolve following disturbance? New publication”

This study explores how climate and geology will affect future stream characteristics during the ecologically stressful summer months – and how land management activities that increase water storage as snowContinue reading “Retaining snow & increasing baseflow to counteract rising stream temperatures”

This study used RHESSys to quantify how urban tree water and carbon fluxes are affected by irrigation reductions, and how that relationship changes with tree species and temperature – resultsContinue reading “Publication: Urban trees and irrigation reduction”
