Seminar: Snowmelt and Storm Events: Biogeochemical and Hydrological Responses

Why study: Snowmelt and Storm Events Provide information on physical and chemical attributes of catchments Important contributor to discharge and biogeochemical fluxes Events can have a major influence on physical, chemical and biological attributes of surface waters.

Storm Event Example Inamdar, S., P., S. F. Christopher, and M. J. Mitchell Export mechanisms for dissolved organic carbon and nitrate during summer storm events in a glaciated forested catchment in New York, USA. Hydrological Processes (In Press).

The Archer Creek catchment and instrumentation

Arbutus Watershed

(a) (b) (c) (d) (e) Precipitation, streamflow, and solute concentrations for the Floyd storm events.

Perceptual model for NO 3 - and DOC evolution considering water and solute contributions from deep and near-surface flow paths and spatial connectedness of saturated areas. Note: Arrow on the hydrograph (inset) indicates position of the stage during the event.

Snowmelt Example Piatek, K.B., M.J. Mitchell, S.R. Silva and C. Kendall Sources of nitrate in Adirondack surface water during dissimilar snowmelt events. (In review).

Terminology Changes in isotopic abundance are expressed as ratios of 15 N/ 14 N of sample to air or 18 O/ 16 O of sample to ocean water. Units: per mil ( o / oo ) δ 15 N x = {[( 15 N/ 14 N) x / ( 15 N/ 14 N)] air –1} * 1000 δ 18 O x = {[( 18 O/ 16 O) x / ( 18 O/ 16 O)] std –1} * 1000

Separation of nitrate sources using stable isotopes of nitrogen and oxygen Nitrate has different stable isotopic values. Atmospheric N-nitrate has 18-O values than N-nitrate derived from soil and ground waters.

Goals of Seminar Increase understanding of biogeochemical and hydrological responses of snowmelt and storm events Exploration of literature on hydrology and biogeochemistry Develop skills for oral presentations and discussions Prepare for workshop to be held on Feb. 27, 2003 on “Snowmelt and Storm Events: Biogeochemical and Hydrological Responses”
