Characterization of surface water isotope spatial patterns of Scotland
(Elsevier B.V., 2018-07-24)
The extended National Waters Inventory of Scotland (NWIS) monitoring network in combination with an extensive, supplementary low flow sampling campaign was used to create isoscapes of surface water for management purposes ...
Groundwater recharge mechanisms inferred from isoscapes in a complex tropical mountainous region
(AGU Publications, 2016-05-23)
Stable isotope variations and groundwater recharge mechanisms remain poorly understood across the tropics, particularly in Central America. Here stable isotopes (δ18O and δ2H) in groundwater, surface water, and rainfall ...
Tracing water sources and fluxes in a dynamic tropical environment from observations to modeling
(Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020-11-06)
Tropical regions cover approximately 36% of the Earth’s landmass. These regions are home to 40% of the world’s population, which is projected to increase to over 50% by 2030 under a remarkable climate variability scenario ...
DOC Transport and Export in a Dynamic Tropical Catchment
(American Geophysical Union, 2019)
Abstract Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) transport and export from headwater forests into freshwaters in highly dynamic tropical catchments are still understudied. Here we present a DOC analysis (2017) in a
pristine and ...
Headwaters drive streamflow and lowland tracer export in a large-scale humid tropical catchment
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2020)
Headwaters are generally assumed to contribute the majority of water to downstream users, but
how much water, of what quality and where it is generated are rarely known in the humid tropics.
Here, using monthly monitoring ...
Insight into the stable isotopic composition of glacial lakes in a tropical alpine ecosystem: Chirripó, Costa Rica
(Wiley & Sons, 2018)
Tropical high‐elevation lakes are considered sentinels of global climate change. This work characterizes the hydrological conditions of tropical alpine glacial lakes located in the highlands of Chirripó, Costa Rica, using ...
Modelling non-stationary water ages in a tropical rainforest: A preliminary spatially distributed assessment
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2020)
Pristine tropical forests play a critical role in regional and global climate systems. For a
better understanding of the eco-hydrology of tropical “evergreen” vegetation, it is
essential to know the partitioning of water ...
Moisture transport and seasonal variations in the stable isotopic composition of rainfall in Central American and Andean Páramo during El Niño conditions (2015–2016)
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2019)
High‐elevation tropical grassland systems, called Páramo, provide essential ecosystem services such as water storage and supply for surrounding and lowland areas.
Páramo systems are threatened by climate and land use ...
Deciphering key processes controlling rainfall isotopic variability during extreme tropical cyclones
(2019-09)
The Mesoamerican and Caribbean (MAC) region is characterized by tropical cyclones (TCs), strong El Niño-Southern Oscillation events, and climate variability that bring unique hazards to socio-ecological systems. Here we ...
Climate And Water Conflicts Coevolution From Tropical Development And Hydro-Climatic Perspectives: A Case Study Of Costa Rica
(American water resources Association, 2018)
Costa Rica is a nation with a vast wealth of water resources; however, recently the country has
faced water conflicts (WC) due to social, economic, legal, and political impediments in response to limited water
availability ...
