Watershed Dynamics & Ecohydrology

Catalog description

Offered alternate spring semestersProcesses governing hydrological flow rates and pathways through watershed systems: Hillslope runoff production and in-channel flood routing. Emphasis on physical mechanisms and their treatment in models, as well as observations made in the field. Interactions between terrestrial plants and water, nutrients, and light resources in semiarid ecosystems and riparian zones. Vegetation induced flow roughness, ecohydrological processes and dynamics, and simple numerical models. Shares lecture with HYDR 5013, with additional expectations for graduate credit.
