Paired Air and Stream Temperature Analysis (PASTA)
https://cuahsi.shinyapps.io/pasta/
With support from CUAHSI HydroInformatics Fellowship, I have developed a web tool that calculates paired air temperature and stream temperature metric metrics, from both Annual Signal Analysis and linear regressions based on daily or weekly data. The tool allows users to use stream temperature data from different online data sources (NWIS, NorWeST, EnvCanada), as well as upload data from HydroShare or their own files, and uses air temperature data from Daymet.
This web tool was based on the analysis conducted in Hare et al. 2021 - Continental-scale analysis of shallow and deep groundwater contributions to streams
Carbon Response to Experimental Warming
The biological and chemical processes that control carbon dynamics and carbon degradation within stream network are sensitive to a complex structure of environmental parameters, including temperature. Our objective of this work is to understand how organic carbon processing and fluxes respond to surface water temperature increases, and utilize these results to develop predictive relationships for forested stream networks. This collaborative research will integrate a combination of novel multi-scale temperature manipulations, field stream experiments, stream-side channel experiments, laboratory studies, and reach- and network- modelling efforts to improve the current understanding of how stream carbon balance will respond to temperature increases.
Peatland Hydrodynamics
Located in Manomet, Masschusetts, Tidmarsh farms (now "Tidmarsh Wildlife Sanctuary") was an operating cranberry bog until 2010, and underwent a large-scale restoration in 2016. Within this interdisciplinary collaboration my research focused on understanding the physical hydrodynamics within this wetland/peatland system, especially understanding groundwater discharge formation and how this process relates to surface/subsurface peat complexities. This work was published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences [LINK].
