Spatial heterogeneity in basin hydrology and hydropower potential: Implications for climate resilience and economic development in Nepal

River, EarlyView.
Abstract Nepal's vast hydropower potential is central to its long‐term economic development; however, it exhibits pronounced spatial heterogeneity and is increasingly vulnerable to climate‐induced risks. This study employs an integrated, Basin‐scale analytical framework to evaluate the hydrological productivity and economic viability of major river ...

The Hidden Harvest: Harnessing Colorado's Geodiversity and Environmental Heterogeneity for Sustainable Agritourism

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...

Winter discharge fluctuations due to ice formation in a Swiss alpine catchment

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: Alpine catchment of the Dischmà stream in canton of Graubünden, Switzerland Study focus: The formation, presence, and melting of ice in alpine streams during winter significantly impacts the dynamics of discharge and ecosystems.

A first attempt to model global hydrology at hyper-resolution

Earth System Dynamics
. Global hydrological models are one of the key tools that can help meet the needs of stakeholders and policy makers when water management strategies and policies are developed. The primary objective of this paper is therefore to establish a first-of-its-

Limitations in Hydrological Interpretations of the Snow Coverage [PDF]

Hydrology Research, 1980
Patterns of the disappearing seasonal snow cover are similar year after year. This could lead to the assumption that a certain areal extent of snow indicates always a corresponding volume of snow or of water stored in a given basin. Such possibility of seasonal runoff forecasts had to be dismissed in an alpine basin.

‘Using anuran community diversity and Pseudacris crucifer to predict landscape quality across a land use gradient'

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As human‐modified landscape and climate changes proliferate, maintaining biodiversity and understanding the function and quality of available habitat is imperative. As anurans (frogs/toads) such as Pseudacris crucifer, can be an indicator species of habitat quality and ecosystem productivity, studying the anuran community in a mixed‐land use region ...

Integrating large mammalian herbivores into Dynamic Global Vegetation Models: Status and next steps

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Zoogeochemistry, the study of how animals influence elemental cycling within ecosystems, bridges the fields of zoology, ecology and biogeochemistry. Yet, most terrestrial ecosystem models, especially Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs), remain largely plant‐centric

Snowmelt control on spring hydrology declines as the vernal window lengthens

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
The vernal window, or the winter-to-spring transition, is a key period for seasonally snow-covered, forested ecosystems. The events that open and close the vernal window shape the unique characteristics of spring hydrology that, in turn, influence both ...

Palaeoglaciations in the Polar and Subpolar Ural Mountains

Boreas, EarlyView.
The Ural Mountains form a major physiographic boundary between the East European Plain and West Siberia, both repeatedly glaciated during the Pleistocene by the Barents–Kara ice sheet. Although the present‐day topography reflects significant glacial modification, the extent, chronology and interaction of mountain glaciers with the Barents–Kara ice ...

Authoring Terrestrial Planets with Diffusion Models

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract To support the design and subsequent generation of terrestrial planets for use in the creative media, we propose a solution that employs a generative model trained on satellite data from planetary bodies with a defined solid surface, such as the Earth and Mars.
