E1: Water Quality in Snowmelt Dominated Systems: Coupled Hydrology and Biogeochemistry
Moderators: Michael Pullin, New Mexico Tech and Paul Gabrielsen, New Mexico Tech
Predicting the effects of climate change on water quality in Alpine systems requires an understanding of how the hydrology and biogeochemistry of these watersheds are coupled. This session will explore these issues, including surface/groundwater interactions.
Presentations:
| Bob Parmenter, Valles Caldera National Preserve: Interannual and seasonal differences in stream water quality in the Valles Caldera National Preserve |
| Paul Gabrielsen, New Mexico Tech: Agent-based modeling of hyporheic zone carbon biogeochemistry
|
| Michael Pullin, New Mexico Tech: Overview of water quality research
