Aircraft-mounted hyperspectral spectrometers were used to collect imagery with high spatial
and spectral resolution for use in measuring optically active water quality characteristics of …

Erosion degrades soils, reduces crop yields, and diminishes ecosystem services. The total
amount of soil that has been eroded since the initiation of farming is unknown in most …

Manmade reservoirs are important components of the terrestrial water balance. Thus,
considering the hydro‐climatic effects of reservoirs is important in water cycle studies at a …

Considerable interest has been directed toward the recognition and documentation of
legacy sediment (ie, anthropogenic sediment) in fluvial systems. Little has been written …

Dynamical processes occurring on the hierarchical branching structure of a river network
tend to heterogeneously distribute fluxes on the network, often concentrating them into …

Long‐term prediction of environmental response to natural and anthropogenic disturbances
in a basin becomes highly uncertain using physically based distributed models, particularly …

High‐resolution topographic data derived from light detection and ranging (lidar) technology
enables detailed geomorphic observations to be made on spatially extensive areas in a way …

Complete transformations of land cover from prairie, wetlands, and hardwood forests to row
crop agriculture and urban centers are thought to have caused profound changes in …

Floodplain and terrace features can provide information about current and past fluvial
processes, including channel response to varying discharge and sediment flux, sediment …

Abstract The US National Science Foundation (NSF) has pioneered an integrated approach
to the study of Earth's Critical Zone by supporting a network of Critical Zone Observatories …
