Developing a watershed modeling approach for reconstructing past streamflow in the upper Walker River Basin, California
(2011)Measured streamflow data in a given basin are important for determining regional patterns of climate and streamflow trends, but are often unavailable or extend back less than 100 years. Observed streamflows can be regressed ... -

Geophysical Modeling of the Dixie Meadows Geothermal Prospect: Dual Analysis of Gravity and Magnetic Data towards Identifying Structural Controls
(2013)The northern Great Basin has abundant geothermal systems. Studies have shown these systems are structurally controlled by extensional faults. The faults, and sometimes systems themselves, often have little or no surface ... -

How much can natural resource inventory benefit from finer resolution auxiliary data?
(2018)For remote sensing-assisted natural resource inventories, the effects of spatial resolution in the form of pixel size and the effects of subpixel information on estimates of population parameters were evaluated by comparing ... -

Hydrologic and Vegetative Modeling of Vernal Pools in the Sierra Nevada
(2013)Vernal pools are ephemeral wetlands that exist in local geographic depressions with relatively impermeable substrates. Vernal pools are typically filled with water primarily from direct precipitation in the winter and ... -

Impact of Potential Climate Change on Predicted Fluvial Transport of Mercury and Associated Bioaccumulation along the Carson River-Lahontan Reservoir
(2015)Historic mining practices have left the Carson River and Lahontan Reservoir (CRLR) system contaminated with high levels of mercury (Hg). Hg levels in Lahontan Reservoir planktivorous and predatory fish exceed federal human ... -
