Mercury and selenium concentrations in fishes of the Upper Colorado River Basin, southwestern United States: A retrospective assessment. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Mercury (Hg) and selenium (Se) are contaminants of concern for fish in the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB). We explored Hg and Se in fish tissues (2,324 individuals) collected over 50 years (1962-2011) from the UCRB.

Future Colorado River Basin Drought and Surplus
Hydrology, 2022 Historical and future drought and surplus periods in the Colorado River basin are evaluated based on eight climate scenarios. Unimpaired streamflow from 17 stations in the Colorado River are evaluated based on U.S.

Atmospheric Rivers and Snow Accumulation in the Upper Colorado River Basin
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 We utilized a macroscale hydrology model in conjunction with an atmospheric river (AR) catalog to evaluate AR‐affected snow accumulation in the Upper Colorado River basin (UCRB) headwaters for water years 1951–2015. We find that there are on average 11.4

Medieval drought in the upper Colorado River Basin [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2007 New tree‐ring records of ring‐width from remnant preserved wood are analyzed to extend the record of reconstructed annual flows of the Colorado River at Lee Ferry into the Medieval Climate Anomaly, when epic droughts are hypothesized from other paleoclimatic evidence to have affected various parts of western North America.

MORPHOMETRIC OF THE COLORADO RIVER HIGH BASIN, ARGENTINA
Boletín Geográfico, 2018 The Grande and Barrancas Rivers watersheds conform the upper basin of the Colorado River. They provide discharge from snow precipitated in the high mountain peaks. Morphometric and functional characteristics analysis of a basin is elementary in hydrology

Development of streamflow projections under changing climate conditions over Colorado River basin headwaters [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2011 The current drought over the Colorado River Basin has raised concerns that the US Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) may impose water shortages over the lower portion of the basin for the first time in history. The guidelines
