Resolving Spatial And Temperal Variability in Dissolved Organic Matter Characteristics Within Combined Agricultural and Stormwater Conveyances

TL;DR: The Great Salt Lake Strike Team's research at the Observatory focuses on investigating the geological and environmental implications of the Great Salt Lake's salinity and water level fluctuations, with a focus on seismic activity and lakebed dynamics.

TL;DR: In this paper, a physically based snow energy balance model (SNOBAL) was applied to data from three climate stations in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest (HJA) to characterize the snowmelt regime in the PNW.

TL;DR: The most consistent and pervasive effect is an increase in impervious surface cover within urban catchments, which alters the hydrology and geomorphology of streams as discussed by the authors, which results in predictable changes in stream habitat.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the fluorescence properties of fulvic acids isolated from streams and rivers receiving predominantly terrestrial sources of organic material and from lakes with microbial sources, and showed that the ratio of the emission intensity at a wavelength of 450 nm to that at 500 nm, obtained with an excitation of 370 nm, can serve as a simple index to distinguish sources of isolated aquatic fulvic acid.

TL;DR: This study suggests that for quantitative results which can be used to compare humification of natural organic matter across different studies, correction of the fluorescence emission spectra for innerfiltration effects is needed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use fluorescence spectroscopy to provide a novel approach to understand the dynamics and biogeochemical role of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquatic ecosystems.
