SanClements , Michael 1 1 The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) Over the last several decades dissolved organic carbon concentrations (DOC) in surface waters have increased throughout much of the northern hemisphere. Several hypotheses have been proposed regarding the drivers of this phenomenon including decreased sulfur (S) deposition working via...
Ryan , Joseph 1 1 Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering; ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½, Boulder Over the past decade, hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling accelerated oil and gas development in Colorado.

Murphy , Sheila 1 1 U.S. Geological Survey Extreme climate events– such as hurricanes, droughts, extreme precipitation, and wildfires– have the potential to alter watershed processes and stream response. Yet due to the destructive and hazardous nature and unpredictability of such events, capturing their hydrochemical signal is challenging. A five-year...
