Determining A Removal Threshold For Didymosphenia Geminata

Cullis , James D 1 1 University of Colorado Previous studies in Boulder Creek, CO, have shown that maximum shear stress is a significant factor in determining the abundance of the nuisance diatom Didymosphenia geminata. The aim of this study was to investigate this observation further in order to determine...

Use Of Isotopic And Geochemical Tracers To Identify Source Waters And Subsurface Residence Times Within Headwater Catchments In Boulder Creek Watershed, Colorado

Cowie , Rory M 1 ; Williams , Mark W 2 1 University of Colorado and INSTAAR 2 University of Colorado and INSTAAR An outstanding question for snowmelt-dominated watersheds of the western US is the response of stream flow to changes in climate. We know little about mountain aquifers because...

Dramatic Changes In Polar Ice: Are We Waking Sleeping Giants

Abdalati , Waleed 1 1 Earth Science and Observation Center and Department of Geography University of Colorado From collapsing ice shelves to accelerating outlet glaciers, to increasingly negative ice sheet mass balance, the Earth’s ice sheets are changing in remarkable ways. With the equivalent of 65 meters of sea level...

Isotopic And Hydrochemical Investigations Of Snowmelt-Groundwater Interaction In An Alpine Watershed, Colorado Front Range

Zeliff , Morgan M. 1 ; Williams , Mark 2 1 University of Colorado 2 University of Colorado Stable isotopes and hydrochemical constituents of water were used to evaluate the role of groundwater in two high-elevation, snowmelt dominated areas of the Colorado Front Range: The 8-ha Martinelli catchment at 3,440...

Groundwater And Groundwater Recharge In Mountain Hydrology

Wilson , John L 1 1 New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology The traditional hydrologic view of western mountains was constrained by the notion that the only significant natural water storage in mountains is snowpack, giving less attention to soil water storage, and essentially ignoring the role of groundwater...
