For context, this class typically has about 20-25 undergraduate students, from geology, environmental studies, and conservation biology majors, and about 5-8 graduate students … Continue reading
Zooming out: how climate and landscapes control streamflow generation
As you watched the videos about flow generation mechanisms, one of the things that you should have noticed is that climate and landscape characteristics influence the way water gets to streams. (And the way water gets to streams influences the … Continue reading
Measuring infiltration capacity in the field
Infiltration capacity is measured by devices that let water soak into the ground until a steady rate is reached and then some math. This post focuses on the field work and skips the math. Continue reading
How wet is the unsaturated zone?
How does moisture content and water potential vary as you go down in the unsaturated zone? And what is the vadose zone, anyway? Continue reading
Measuring evapotranspiration components
Evapotranspiration is often said to be the most difficult water balance component to directly measure. When water goes from liquid to vapor, you can’t exactly catch it in a bucket or measure flow in a channel. In my Watershed Hydrology … Continue reading
