Biogeochemistry

Hydrochemical response of alpine watersheds to snowmelt.

Poster Number:  176 Presenter/Primary Author:  Danielle Perrot This study explores the stream hydrochemical response to snowmelt in alpine environments in the context of variable source area (VSA) dynamics and nitrate.

Climate Change, Permafrost Melt, and Increased Nitrate Export, Green Lakes Valley, Colorado

Poster Number:  171 Presenter/Primary Author:  Mark Williams Alpine ecosystems are particularly susceptible to disturbance due to their short growing seasons, sparse vegetation, thin soils, and a harsh climate.

Hydrologic flowpaths and biogeochemical cycles in the subalpine Como Creek catchment, Colorado Front Range, USA

Poster Number:  161 Presenter/Primary Author:  Rory Cowie An outstanding question for snowmelt-dominated watersheds of the western US are the responses of biogeochemical processes to two major drivers of environmental change: directional changes in climat
