Mountain water resources are of particular importance for downstream populations but are
threatened by decreasing water storage in snowpack and glaciers. Groundwater …

Driven by the need for integrated management of groundwater (GW) and surface water
(SW), quantification of GW–SW interactions and associated contaminant transport has …

Previously regarded as the passive drains of watersheds, over the past 50 years, rivers have
progressively been recognized as being actively connected with off‐channel environments …

Most rivers exchange water with surrounding aquifers,. Where groundwater levels lie below
nearby streams, streamwater can infiltrate through the streambed, reducing streamflow and …

River‐groundwater interactions are at the core of a wide range of major contemporary
challenges, including the provision of high‐quality drinking water in sufficient quantities, the …

Background The Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, has developed special mechanisms to
regulate its osmotic balance to adapt to fluctuations of salinities in coastal zones. To …

Rivers are the great shapers of terrestrial landscapes. Very few points on Earth above sea
level do not lie within a drainage basin. Even points distant from the nearest channel are …

Hydrologic connectivity between catchment upland and near stream areas is essential for
the transmission of water, solutes, and nutrients to streams. However, our current …

Intermittent rivers, those channels that periodically cease to flow, constitute over half of the
total discharge of the global river network and will likely increase in their extent owing to …

Headwater stream networks expand and contract in response to changes in stream
discharge. The changes in the extent of the stream network are also controlled by geologic …
