Human-caused changes in water use, emissions, and land cover have increasingly impacted the natural and built environments. As a result, the natural hydrologic cycle has been disrupted, causing changes in the quantity and quality of water, extreme events (i.e., droughts and floo…

Accurate hydrologic modeling of ungauged mountain basins plays an important role in ensuring the safety of Colorado’s dams. Recent research has shown that infiltration-excess runoff, saturation-excess runoff, and subsurface stormflow can all contribute to streamflow from major s…

Fort Collins, Colorado, home to over 150,000 people along the northern Front Range, is prone to flood. This natural disaster threat is not a recent development nor a strictly natural problem. Rather, flooding in Fort Collins is informed by the interaction of the local environmen…
