Storage selection functions: A coherent framework for quantifying how catchments store and release water and solutes
We discuss a recent theoretical approach combining catchment‐scale flow and transport
processes into a unified framework. The approach is designed to characterize the …

Evaluation of high-frequency mean streamwater transit-time estimates using groundwater age and dissolved silica concentrations in a small forested watershed
NE Peters, DA Burns, BT Aulenbach - Aquatic geochemistry, 2014 - Springer
Many previous investigations of mean streamwater transit times (MTT) have been limited by
an inability to quantify the MTT dynamics. Here, we draw on (1) a linear relation (r 2= 0.97) …

Comparison of groundwater age models for assessing nitrate loading, transport pathways, and management options in a complex aquifer system
In an aquifer system with complex hydrogeology, mixing of groundwater with different ages
could occur associated with various flow pathways. In this study, we applied different …
