Democratizing Hydroclimate Science for Just and Resilient Futures

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Hydroclimatic extremes are intensifying, escalating risks to ecosystems, infrastructure, and vulnerable communities. Rapid technological innovation and scientific discovery offer powerful tools to address these challenges, yet a gap remains between hydroclimate knowledge production and its use in decision‐making.

Ocean Temperatures Do Not Account for a Record-Setting Winter in the U.S. West

Atmosphere
The record-setting winter of 2022–2023 came as an answer to both figurative and literal prayers for political leaders, policy makers, and water managers reliant on snowpacks in the Upper Colorado River Basin, a vital source of water for tens of millions ...

Exhumation History of the Sangre de Cristo Range, Colorado, From Mid‐ to Low‐Temperature Thermochronology: New Insights Into Laramide Contraction and Oligocene–Miocene Extension in the Northern Rio Grande Rift, USA

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Sangre de Cristo Range in southern Colorado records a complex tectonic history that includes Late Cretaceous–Eocene Laramide contraction and Oligocene–Quaternary Rio Grande rift extension. We present new thermochronologic data (40Ar/39Ar, fission‐track, (U‐Th)/He) and thermal history models that provide insight into this polyphase history ...

Estimating Baseline Flow Resistance Parameters for Remote Sensing River Discharge (RSQ) From River Morphology Characteristics

JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study demonstrates that flow resistance in rivers, quantified via calibration of a modified Manning's equation, can inform its estimation from channel hydrometric information available from regional or global datasets for a limited set (N = 14) of rigorously calibrated river reaches in Alaska and with less certainty in a large set (N ...

Bed‐scale quantitative discrimination of hyperpycnites from intrabasinal turbidites—Results from a channelised slope system in the Upper Carboniferous Westward Ho! Formation, United Kingdom

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 1750-1798, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Features considered indicative of hyperpycnites and intrabasinal turbidites overlap. Outcrop study presented here suggests that the Westward Ho! Formation forms an 800 m high deepwater‐slope system dominated by hyperpycnites. Taking this unit, and other successions where hyperpycnites have been described, as having been deposited solely from ...

Baseflow and snowmelt sustained streamflow in the Upper Colorado River Basin, 1986–2020

Environmental Research: Water
The Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB) faces substantial water availability limitations. Although most streamflow originates as snowmelt, the partitioning of snowmelt between surface runoff and groundwater recharge and subsequent groundwater discharge to ...

Subseasonal Tropical Convection Characteristics in the Energy Exascale Earth System Model Version 2

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Accurate simulation of subseasonal tropical moist convection remains a key challenge for Earth system models. The difficulties stem from the reliance of cumulus cloud processes on model parameterizations and the need to represent the multiscale nature of interactions among clouds, radiation, moisture, circulation, and surface energy fluxes ...

Precipitation Over the Contiguous United States Is Coming From Farther Away Than in the Past

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Atmospheric moisture transport is an essential component of the Earth's water cycle, carrying water vapor thousands of miles and controlling which regions receive precipitation and which do not. Here, we employ atmospheric moisture tracking, applied to 35 years of reanalysis data to investigate decadal trends in atmospheric moisture transport ...

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

Upgradient Storage Features Control Timing and Magnitude of Solute Export at Stream Outlets

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Concentration‐discharge (C‐Q) relations are used to infer water and solute storage and transport but are often informed by coarse‐temporal data. Here, we use high‐frequency and long‐term C‐Q datasets from two adjacent, but geologically and geomorphically distinct, watersheds in Colorado to evaluate how vertical and lateral flowpaths ...
