Longitudinal Stream Profile Analysis In Taiwan

Yanites , Brian J 1 ; Tucker , Greg 2 1 University of Colorado 2 University of Colorado The growth of active tectonic structures is reflected in topographic properties such as hillslope steepness, local and regional relief, and longitudinal stream profiles. Preliminary results of three major rivers from the island...

Assessing The Effects Of Streamflow Changes And Local Shear Stress Variations On The New Zealand Mud Snail In Boulder Creek, Colorado

Wynne , Kristina 1 ; Pitlick , John 2 1 University of Colorado, Department of Geography 2 University of Colorado, Department of Geography In November, 2004, the invasive New Zealand mud snail (NZMS) was confirmed in Colorado.

INVITED FACULTY TALK - The “Teflon Basin” Myth Debunked: Most Snowmelt Runoff Is “Old” Water And Not “New” Water

Williams , Mark W 1 1 INSTAAR and Geography New research shows high-altitude aquifers honeycomb parts of the Colorado Rockies, trapping snowmelt and debunking the myth that high mountain valleys act as “Teflon basins” to rush water downstream. In much of western North America, snow and snow melt provides the...

Hydrologic Science Vs. Regulatory Policy: USEPA’s Watershed Control Requirements For Cryptosporidium

Pontius , Frederick W. 1 1 Dept. of Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colo. Watershed control is one option within the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA’s) Long-Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR) microbial toolbox for public water systems to provide extra protection against Cryptosporidium...

INVITED TALK: From Research To Remediation: Some Applications Of Hydrogeochemical Research To Mine Site Remediation

Nordstrom , D. Kirk 1 1 U.S. Geological Survey, Boulder, CO Research in chemistry, geochemistry, and hydrogeochemistry has been applied successfully to identify the geochemical processes that produce acid rock drainage and determine its fate, and to understand remediation scenarios. When iron in acid drainage fully oxidizes, does the pH...
