The increase in dynamic interactions between climate and human activities threatens water
security in terms of water quantity and quality. Most water security studies have focused on …

Surface runoff mobilizes the burned residues and ashes produced during wildfires and
deposits them in surface waters, thereby deteriorating water quality. A lack of a consistent …

Severe wildfire is altering the natural and the built environment and posing risks to
environmental and societal health and well-being, including cascading impacts to water …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM), the most reactive fraction of forest soil organic matter, is
increasingly impacted by wildfires worldwide. However, few studies have quantified the …

Coastal mountain rivers export disproportionately high quantities of terrestrial organic
carbon (OC) directly to the ocean, feeding microbial communities and altering coastal …

Tracing the contamination origins in water sources and identifying the impacts of natural and
human processes are essential for ecological safety and public health. However, current …

We investigated short (first post-fire precipitation)-and long-term (11-month) impacts of the
Caldor and Mosquito Fires (2021 and 2022) on water quality, dissolved organic matter, and …

Wildfires naturally occur in many landscapes, however they are undergoing rapid regime
shifts. Despite the emphasis in the literature on the most severe hydrological responses to …

The presence of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in biological nutrient removal (BNR)
effluent has led to increased concern about its adverse effects on wastewater discharge and …

Increasing wildfire frequency, a consequence of global climate change, releases incomplete
combustion byproducts such as aquatic pyrogenic dissolved organic matter (DOM) and …
