JP Gannon just had another paper accepted in Water Resources Research this week. The study suggests that dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in headwater streams may be generated from shallow to bedrock regions in the catchment, which mostly occur near the catchment divides and channel heads. The study also suggests that hydropedological patterns are critical to understanding DOC …
In a new article published this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, we show how high-resolution mapping and analysis of water chemistry throughout a headwater stream network reveals unexpected patterns in how flowing water interacts with the surrounding landscape at multiple spatial scales. Here’s the abstract and a link to the paper: …
Network chemistry patterns in headwater streams – new paper published in PNAS Read More »
A new paper was accepted this week in the journal Geoderma. The paper shows how spatial patterns of soil development reflect the influence of transient groundwater within the soil profile in nearly all landscape positions throughout a headwater catchment at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest. This study was initiated by Patricia Brousseau’s REU project in 2008. …
A special issue of the journal Hydrological Processes called “Catchments in the future North: interdisciplinary science for sustainable management in the 21st Century” reports on the results from our North-Watch project. This is a great collection of papers on the future of northern watershed hydrology and how these systems respond to changing climate. Dr. McGuire is …

A paper from our North-Watch project was accepted and published online today. The findings suggest that one likely consequence of warmer winters in northern regions is that the proportion of the annual DOC and water export will increase during winter and decrease during spring and summer. Laudon, H., D. Tetzlaff, C. Soulsby, S. Carey, …

We had a couple of new papers come out this week. One is from our North-Watch project, which is a collaborative project aimed at predicting the integrated consequences of climate change on the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of water resources in experimental watersheds in sensitive northern climates. The other paper is from an education project …
