INVITED FACULTY TALK - Global Predictions Of River Discharge And Sediment Load Under Human Influence

Syvitski , James 1 1 Environmental Computation and Imaging Group, INSTAAR, University of Colorado at Boulder The UNH water balance and transport model (WBM), based on the STN-30p network, provides a fundamental structure for analyzing the water and sediment flux distribution by river basin, continent, climatic zone, and receiving ocean...

INVITED FACULTY TALK - Colloids, Contaminants, And Surface Chemistry: Effect Of Desorption Kinetics On The Facilitated Transport Of Cesium And Strontium By Illite Colloids

Ryan , Joseph N 1 1 University of Colorado, Boulder We investigated the transport of the cations Cs+ and Sr2+ in flow-through and recirculating saturated quartz porous media in the absence and presence of illite colloids to examine the effect of cation desorption kinetics on colloid-facilitated transport. The illite colloids...

INVITED FACULTY TALK - Surface-Layer Armoring And Its Effect On Sediment Transport In High-Gradient Channels

Pitlick , John 1 ; Mueller , Erich 2 ; Segura , Catalina 3 1 Geography Department, CU-Boulder 2 Geography Department, CU-Boulder 3 Geography Department, CU-Boulder In high-gradient channels the sediment which is present on the bed surface (the armor layer) is typically much coarser than the sediment which moves...

Tracing Changes In Carbon Chemistry Caused By An Extreme Mid-Summer Rain Event In A Lake-Stream System In The Colorado Rocky Mountains

Miller , Matthew 1 ; McKnight , Diane 2 ; Alexa , Katherine 3 1 INSTAAR, Environmental Engineering 2 INSTAAR, Environmental Engineering 3 Cornell University We studied the impact of a sustained high elevation rain event in mid-summer on the biogeochemistry of dissolved organic material (DOM) in aquatic ecosystems in...
