Groundwater And Groundwater Recharge In Mountain Hydrology

Wilson , John L 1 1 New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology The traditional hydrologic view of western mountains was constrained by the notion that the only significant natural water storage in mountains is snowpack, giving less attention to soil water storage, and essentially ignoring the role of groundwater...

Simulating The Effect Of Matrix Diffusion In Fractured Porous Media With Dual Domain Mass Transfer: A Modeling Comparison

Weingarten , Matthew 1 ; Hsieh , Paul 2 1 University of Colorado at Boulder, Boulder, CO, USA 2 U.S. Geological Survey, Menlo Park, CA, USA Solute transport through fractured porous rocks can be described by advective-dispersive transport through the fractures and diffusive transport through the unfractured matrix. The effect...

Middle Holocene Natural Variability Of Temperature And Salinity In The North Atlantic Ocean, Southwest Of Iceland

Underhill , Vivian R 1 1 University of Colorado With rising global temperatures, a major concern is that fresh water from melting glaciers and the Greenland ice sheet will slow down global oceanic circulation patterns, in particular the North Atlantic Current (NAC). The NAC, an extension of the Gulf Stream,...
