Concepts

The study of water cycling processes in mountainous terrain, including complex interactions between snowpack dynamics, topography, vegetation, and subsurface water storage

Coupled modeling approach simulating surface and subsurface hydrologic processes including groundwater flow and particle tracking

Accounting framework where annual discharge equals precipitation minus evapotranspiration minus storage changes

Statistical approach to quantify proportional contributions of different water sources to mixed samples using tracer concentrations

A collaborative research infrastructure where multiple institutions conduct coordinated measurements and experiments

The integrated biogeochemical, hydrological, and ecological processes that control water, energy, and nutrient cycling within a watershed
