Elevated stream temperature is a primary factor limiting the coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) population in California’s Shasta River Basin. Understanding the mechanisms driving spatial and temporal trends in water temperature throughout the Shasta River is critical to prioritising river restoration efforts aimed at protecting this threatened species. During the summer, the majority of stream...

introduction: water vapor spreads in molecular, unstable and erratic phase and transfers by convection and advection process. this transfer happens from the earth and oceans' surfaces to the atmosphere by the hot air. this type of this transfer is considered as the main pattern. in the studies of the atmosphere, one of the prominent factors to be considered is the complexity of water vapor...

Modeling of stream flow–suspended sediment relationship is one of the most studied topics in hydrology due to itsessential application to water resources management. Recently, artificial intelligence has gained much popularity owing toits application in calibrating the nonlinear relationships inherent in the stream flow–suspended sediment relationship. Thisstudy made us of adaptive neuro-fuzzy ...

The primary objective of this project was to estimate the nitrate reduction that could be achieved using restored wetlands as nitrogen sinks in tile-drained regions of the upper Mississippi River (UMR) and Ohio River basins. This report provides an assessment of nitrate concentrations and loads across the UMR and Ohio River basins and the mass reduction of nitrate loading that could be achieved...

Spatial genetic variation of river-dwelling freshwater fishes is typically affected by the historical and contemporary river landscape as well as life-history traits. Tropical river and stream landscapes have endured extended geological change, shaping the existing pattern of genetic diversity, but were not directly affected by glaciation. Thus, spatial genetic variation of tropical fish popula...

This paper describes a tool for identifying topologically matched locations in vector stream networks extracted from different DEMs of the same catchment. The tool has applications in providing quantitative comparisons of stream network position and topological differences as well as providing a scalable and robust method for conflating stream networks to enable transfer of attribute informatio...
