New review paper on tracers in northern catchments

Abstract: We examine how tracer studies have enhanced our understanding of flow paths, residence times and sources of stream flow in northern catchments. We define northern catchments as non-glacial sites in the temperate conifer/boreal/permafrost zone, focussing our review mainly on sites in North America and Europe. Improved empirical and theoretical understanding of hydrological functioning has …

Hydrological Processes Special Issue on North-Watch

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 …

New article on changes in winter climate and DOC

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, …

New publications this week from collaborations

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 …

Perfect timing

I arrived at Hubbard Brook two days ago to host a small international workshop for a bunch of hydrologists.  What perfect timing!  Our North-Watch group is in for a real treat.  We’ve had about an inch of rain and several days of mild temperatures so snowmelt is humming along.  Not to mention, we might be …
