Quantification and Analysis of Hydrograph Behavior Using Groundwater Signatures
Abstract The study of hydraulic head changes over time is a common task for groundwater hydrologists. Groundwater signatures are numerical metrics, or statistical aggregates, that quantify the behavior observed in hydraulic head hydrographs. Signatures can be helpful in a number of classical hydrological tasks, such as hydrograph classification ...

Groundwater Recharge in a Fire‐Adapted, Semi‐Arid Forest: A Watershed Water Balance Approach
Abstract Climate change induced aridity and Euro‐American settlement have altered the historical disturbance and flow regimes of large portions of the ponderosa pine forests of northern Arizona. The increased occurrence of high‐severity wildfires due to these changes has led to the establishment of various forest restoration programs to protect the ...
