Case Study of the Chicago River Watershed: Physical Modeling vs Data-driven Modeling of an Urban Watershed
(2017)We developed a water quality model for the highly urbanized Chicago River watershed based on hydrologic simulation using BASINS/HSPF. Appropriate consideration was given to the effective impervious area (EIA). The 5 y water ... -

Detection and Analysis of Spatiotemporal Changes in Great Basin Groundwater Dependent Vegetation Vigor
(2016)Throughout much of the arid Western United States, groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs; those in which the flora necessarily rely on surface expressions of groundwater) represent hotspots of biodiversity, providing ... -

Fate and transport of contaminants from acid mine drainage in the Perry Canyon Abandoned Mine Land, Washoe County, Nevada
(2020)Perry Canyon abandoned mine land (AML) hosts acid mine drainage from abandoned mine workings with elevated levels of toxic heavy metals that may be contaminating municipal water in the town of Sutcliffe, Nevada. The objective ... -

Forest cover controls variability of net shortwave radiation and snow albedo in a mountain watershed
(2020)Snow albedo regulates the surface energy budget of snow-covered regions which governs snowmelt processes, this makes snow albedo a critical parameter for climate models. Spaceborne and airborne remote sensing measurements ... -

Hydrochemical Response of Groundwater Following the 2020 Monte Cristo Range Earthquake Sequence within Mineral and Esmeralda Counties, NV
(2022)The 2020 Monte Cristo Earthquake sequence in western Nevada began with a M 6.5 shock on 5/15/2020, and was the largest to occur in Nevada since 1954. The event exhibited left-lateral slip along an eastward extension of the ... -

Hydrologic and Vegetative Modeling of Vernal Pools in the Sierra Nevada
(2013)Vernal pools are ephemeral wetlands that exist in local geographic depressions with relatively impermeable substrates. Vernal pools are typically filled with water primarily from direct precipitation in the winter and ... -

Improving Decision Support During High Impact Weather Through Data Analysis and Visual Communication
(2023)Rain-on-snow is linked to many of the largest floods in the Western United States. Forecasting runoff in snow-covered areas prone to flooding is complicated due to the difficult nature of predicting and observing the ... -

A Long-Term Micrometeorological and Hydrological Dataset Across an Elevation Gradient in Sagehen Creek, Sierra Nevada, California
(University of Nevada Reno, 2018)We compile and release ~55 years of daily and ~20 years of hourly Micrometeorological and hydrological data from Sagehen Creek a 28 km〖^2〗 watershed with observation sites spanning 1771 to 2670 m. A USGS gauging station ... -

Maintaining soil carbon in semiarid meadows: inputs, retention, and resulting carbon stocks
(2022)Soil carbon (C) provides ecosystem services and can function as a C sink to mitigate climate change. Soil C is the result of inputs facilitated by autotrophs and respiratory losses caused by heterotrophic soil microbes. ... -

Near-Surface Air Temperature in Complex Terrain: Daily Predictions of Fine-Scale (30 m) Temperature in the Snake Range, Nevada, USA
(2015)Air temperature is arguably the most important component of the mountain climate, and scientists have been studying it for centuries. Recently, researchers have used arrays of inexpensive temperature sensors to observe and ... -

Quantitative analysis of groundwater flow in valley-fill deposits in Steptoe Valley, Nevada
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1985)Groundwater flow in Steptoe Valley in east-central Nevada was analyzed with the aid of a steady-state groundwater flow model.
