How to Address Publication Overload in Environmental Science

In this article, a new dynamic online metasynthesis tool is proposed by the authors as a better approach to synthesizing the wealth of available knowledge in environmental science and related fields – to make finding, understanding, and updating science – more efficient and equitable for researchers, and reduce duplicated work, rediscovery of previously published ideas,Continue reading “How to Address Publication Overload in Environmental Science”

New Pub: Potentials for quantifying disturbance response with remote sensing technologies

This publication offers a focused review of how modern remote sensing platforms and sensors could advance our understanding of disturbance impacts and recovery across scales. Hwang, K., Harpold, A.A., Tague, C.L., Lowman, L., Boisramé, G.F.S., Lininger, K.B., Sullivan, P.L., Manning, A., Graup, L., Litvak, M., Lewis, G., Miller, K., Brooks, P.D., Barnard, H.R. (2023) SeeingContinue reading “New Pub: Potentials for quantifying disturbance response with remote sensing technologies”

On the expansion of integrated hydrologic models, and future challenges

In this new publication, recent advances to integrate new processes and systems into existing terrestrial hydrologic models are reviewed, and the significant challenges and opportunities that remain are highlighted. Brookfield, A.E., Ajami, H., Carroll, R.W.H., Tague, C., Sullivan, P.L., Condon, L.E. (2023) Recent advances in integrated hydrologic models: Integration of new domains, Journal of HydrologyContinue reading “On the expansion of integrated hydrologic models, and future challenges”

Roadmap for future ecohydrological coupling research

New publication ‘Ecohydrological decoupling under changing disturbances and climate‘ synthesizes the literature on post-disturbance ecohydrological coupling and develops a framework of testable hypotheses to provide a roadmap for future research. McDowell, N., Anderson-Teixeira, K., Biederman, J., Breshears, D, Fang, Y., Fernández de Uña, L., Graham, E., Mackay, D., McDonnell, J., Moore, G., Nehemy, M., Stevens-Rumann,Continue reading “Roadmap for future ecohydrological coupling research”

New Publication: Bark Beetle Effects on Fire Regimes

New publication looks at how tree mortality caused by Bark Beetle outbreaks can increase or decrease wildfire hazards by altering surface fuel loading and decreasing leaf moisture. The RHESSys-WMfire model was coupled with a beetle effects model (RHESSys-WMFire-Beetle) to simulate interactions among hydrology, vegetation, beetle effects, and fire. Ren, J., Hanan, E.J., Hicke, J.A., Kolden,Continue reading “New Publication: Bark Beetle Effects on Fire Regimes”

Commentary & advice on research funding

In the upcoming February 2023 special issue on Women in Hydrology in the Journal of Hydrology, author Holly R. Barnard (Department of Geography, University of Colorado, Boulder) reviewed the competitive funding landscape and gives some advice on navigating the process, learned from her own experiences and from other women in science – including Naomi TagueContinue reading “Commentary & advice on research funding”

New Publication – Tree response to Snow Drought

This new publication looks at the consequences of changing snowpacks on forest water stress by using the RHESSys model to explore how a tree’s position (upslope or riparian) on a hillslope influences its drought response. Graup, L.J., Tague, C.L., Harpold, A.A., Krogh, S.A. (2022) Subsurface lateral flows buffer riparian water stress against snow drought, JournalContinue reading “New Publication – Tree response to Snow Drought”

New article – post thinning micrometeorology & soil moisture under extreme drought & record precipitation

This new article compares the below-canopy meteorological and subsurface hydrologic differences between two thinning prescriptions and an unaltered Control during periods of extreme drought and near-record precipitation (with little snow) within a coniferous forest in the rain-snow transition zone of the southern Cascades. Hardage, K., Wheelock, S.J., Gaffney, R., O’Halloran, T., Serpa, B., Grant, G.,Continue reading “New article – post thinning micrometeorology & soil moisture under extreme drought & record precipitation”
