Geochemistry and Source Waters of Rock Glacier Outflow, Colorado Front Range
We characterize the seasonal variation in the geochemical and isotopic content of the outflow of the Green Lake 5 rock glacier (RG5), located in the Green Lakes Valley of the Colorado Front Range, USA. Between June and August, the geochemical content of rock glacier outflow does not appear to differ substantially from that of other surface waters in the Green Lakes Valley. Thus, for this alpine...
متن کاملNitrate Content and Potential Microbial Signature of Rock Glacier Outflow, Colorado Front Range
Here we characterize the nutrient content in the outflow of the Green Lake 5 rock glacier, located in the Green Lakes Valley of the Colorado Front Range. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was present in all samples with a mean concentration of 0·85 mg L. A one-way analysis of variance test shows no statistical difference in DOC amounts among surface waters (p = 0·42). Average nitrate concentration...
متن کاملInternal Structure of the Green Lake 5 Rock Glacier, Colorado Front Range, USA
Information about the internal structure of rock glaciers is needed to understand their reaction to ongoing climate warming. Three different geophysical techniques—shallow seismic refraction, ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and electrical resistivity tomography—were used to develop a detailed subsurface model of the Green Lake 5 rock glacier in the Colorado Front Range, USA. Below a thin zone of...
متن کاملSource waters and flow paths in an alpine catchment, Colorado Front Range, United States
[1] Source waters and flow paths of streamflow draining high-elevation catchments of the Colorado Rocky Mountains were determined using isotopic and geochemical tracers during the 1996 snowmelt runoff season at two subcatchments of the Green Lakes Valley, Colorado Front Range. A two-component hydrograph separation using dO indicates that new water dominated (82 ± 6%) streamflow at the 8-ha Mart...
متن کاملColorado Front Range
The term “landscape structure” refers to the configuration of vegetation and other land features over a large land area (usually an extent of many square kilometers). A landscape can be regarded as a mosaic composed of patches of different kinds— for example, different forest types, landforms, or human-built structures such as roads. The scientific discipline of landscape ecology is concerned w...
