Reported August 2012:

  • Eight new SCAN-type stations are prepped for installation in summer 2012; stations installed in Year 3 are generating data available through the NRCS.

  • Continued to work on optimizing the parameters for the Snowmelt Runoff Model in 24 sub-basins of the Upper Rio Grande.

  • Developed new software tools for analyzing the links between large-scale flow and atmospheric hydrological process.

  • Developed models for small-scale (1-100 m) hyporheic exchange and larger scale (1-100 km) basin flows, and models demonstrated for dynamic flows ranging from individual storm events up to seasonal, decadal, and longer time scales.

  • Isotopic and aqueous geochemical data from precipitation, stream flow, springs and wells has been assembled and analyzed to help diagnosis flow paths and residence times in selected watersheds.

  • In the image above, New Mexico Tech students test out equipment near the Rio Hondo.
