Study region: South eastern Australia. Study focus: This region is characterised with rainfall events that are associated with large exports of nutrients and sediments. Many water quality monitoring s...
Stormwater models are important tools in the design and management of urban drainage systems. Understanding the sources of uncertainty in these models and their consequences on the model outputs is es...
Seasonal hypoxia in the northern Gulf of Mexico has been linked to increased nitrogen fluxes from the Mississippi and Atchafalaya River Basins, though recent evidence shows that phosphorus also influe...
Report of the Science Advisory Board to the EPA Administrator concerning the state of the science concerning Gulf of Mexico hypoxia
Realtime information on sediment and nutrients generated and transported from catchments is essential to inform management decisions aimed to improve the ecosystem health of the Great Barrier Reef (GB...
Poised at the interface of rivers, ocean, atmosphere and dense human settlement, estuaries are driven by a large array of natural and anthropogenic forces. San Francisco Bay exemplifies the fast‐paced...
Plant uptake of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) has a major effect on the watershed export of DIN. Plant uptake depends on soil moisture. The literature describes plant uptake under two conditions....
Models developed to identify the rates and origins of nutrient export from land to stream require an accurate assessment of the nutrient load present in the water body in order to calibrate model para...
Modeling techniques for estimating pollutant loadings to water bodies range from simple export coefficient and regression models to more complex mechanistic models. All export coefficient models and m...
Many ecological insights into the function of rivers and watersheds emerge from quantifying the flux of solutes or suspended materials in rivers. Numerous methods for flux estimation have been describ...
Long term effects of precipitation and land use/land cover on basin outflow and nonpoint source (NPS) pollutant flux are presented for up to 24 years for a rapidly developing headwater basin and three...
It is well established in the hydroclimatic literature that the interannual variability in seasonal streamflow could be partially explained using climatic precursors such as tropical sea surface tempe...
It has been documented in the literature that, in some cases, widely used regression-based models can produce severely biased estimates of long-term mean river fluxes of various constituents. These mo...
Increasing concern regarding deterioration of freshwater and marine systems such as the Murray Darling Basin and Great Barrier Reef has prompted the need for better water quality and land management a...
In-stream nutrient concentrations are well known to exhibit a strong relationship with river flow. The use of flow measurements to predict nutrient concentrations and subsequently nutrient loads is co...
In-stream nitrogen, phosphorus, organic carbon, and suspended sediment concentrations were measured in 18 subbasins over 2 annual cycles to assess how land use and land cover (LULC) and stream dischar...
In Oregon's Willamette River Basin (Basin), methylmercury levels in fish triggered health advisories and required development of a mercury Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Willamette River. A s...
Historical streamflow and concentration data were used in regression models to estimate the annual flux of nitrogen (N) to the Gulf of Mexico and to determine where the nitrogen originates within the ...
High concentrations of nitrate in both ground and surface water have been identified as a significant water-quality issue in the Lower Susquehanna River Basin. This report uses data collected by the N...
For sediment yield estimation, intermittent measurements of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) have to be interpolated to derive a continuous sedigraph. Traditionally, sediment rating curves (SRCs...
