Agricultural water governance in the desert: Shifting risks in central Arizona

Water Alternatives, 2020
In Arizona, the policy debates over the Colorado River Basin Drought Contingency Plans exposed longrunning tensions surrounding how we use and value scarce water resources in a desert. These negotiations also highlighted generations-old disputes between

Spatiotemporal mapping the usable space of free‐roaming equids across the western United States

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Identification of the inter‐decadal (2010‐2011) enhancement‐degradation gradients in the usable space for wild equid Herd Management Areas in the Great Basin, USA. Abstract Management of feral equids in the American West is hindered by the lack of a formal habitat map and monitoring system.

Quantifying Changes in Water Loading in the U.S. Southwest via Comparison of GNSS, GRACE, and SWE Data Sets

Water Resources Research
We use geodetic data to show that hydrologically distinct sub‐regions in the Southwest United States act independently of one another. The limited number of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) stations and resolution of Gravity Recovery and Climate

Resolution matters when modeling climate change in headwaters of the Colorado River

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
The continued growth of Southwestern cities depends on reliable water export from Rocky Mountain headwaters, which provide ∼85% of Colorado River Basin (CRB) streamflow.

Abundance, trends, and challenges facing mountain goats throughout their North American distribution

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Our survey of states and provinces revealed that 13% of native mountain goat populations increased during the past 10 years, whereas 38% declined. For introduced populations, increases were roughly equal to declines. Rates of change were positively associated with being introduced or pioneering, and negatively associated with heavy snow, and, to a ...

Abiotic variables drive different aspects of fish community trait variation and species richness across the continental United States

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Trait distributions provide insight into how niches overlap within a broader trait space. By integrating individual‐level trait observations from different communities, we can explore how facets of trait dimensionality vary across environmental conditions.

Partisan Cities: How State‐Local Political Alignment Shapes Credit Risk and Information Processing in the Municipal Bond Market

Journal of Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper studies how partisan alignment between city leaders and state governors shapes information processing and bond pricing in the municipal bond market. Using a novel data set on 1,045 U.S. cities from 2005 to 2019, we show that cities with the same political affiliation as the state governor face 9 basis points lower borrowing costs ...

neonSoilFlux: An R package for continuous sensor‐based estimation of soil CO2 fluxes

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate quantification of soil carbon fluxes is essential to reduce uncertainty in estimates of the terrestrial carbon sink. However, these fluxes vary over time and across ecosystem types and so, it can be difficult to estimate them accurately across large scales.
