The Effect Of Nuisance Diatom Growth On Benthic Macroinvertebrate Communities

McLaughlin , Aimee 1 ; McKnight , Diane 2 1 University of Colorado at Boulder; INSTAAR 2 University of Colorado at Boulder; INSTAAR Didymosphenia geminata is a freshwater benthic diatom found in cold, mountain streams. In the past ten years it has become a nuisance species, producing a persistent stalk...

Fine Grain Sediment Transport Over A Coarse Grain Gravel Bed: Flushing The Fines

LaGreca , Tony 1 ; Pitlick , John 2 1 University of Colorado Department of Geography 2 University of Colorado Department of Geography Flume experiments were conducted on a bimodal sediment mixture of sand and gravel, to better understand the effects of surface sand concentrations on flow properties and to...

Linking Unsteady Flow, Hyporheic Dynamics And Biogeochemistry In A Glacial Meltwater Stream

Koch , Joshua 1 ; McKnight , Diane 2 ; Neupauer , Roseanna 3 1 INSTAAR/USGS 2 INSTAAR 3 CEAE Streamflow in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica occurs over 12-14 weeks of the austral summer, and is generated by glacial melt. The magnitude of melt depends on the angle of...

Effects Of Simulated Flood Disturbances On Didymosphenia Geminata

Ianniello , Richard S 1 1 University of Colorado In order to assess the resilience of the nuisance diatom didymosphenia geminata in relation to flood disturbances, a simulation technique was developed to measure the loss of algal material due to flooding over a period of time. The diatom is of...
