Predicted increased variability in rainfall together with the effects of fast-growing population centers, hydropower development, and irrigated agriculture will likely continue to alter landscape and...
This short film includes interviews with water researchers and presents basic concepts of hydrologic cycle. Water has many roles in the landscape; sculptor, solvent for minerals, a vector of...
This short film presents the one of the basic concepts of a hydrologic cycle, a water budget. How much water is there? Where it is and how does it move. For example, how does land use effect the...
This report illustrates the disruption of the global water cycle as a result of human activities. The global hydrological cycle’s surface and ground water processes are detailed. The global...
These materials include 25-year records of lake levels in 7 lakes in Northern Wisconsin, Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) and precipitation; graphs illustrating changes in lake levels over time;...
This collection of five photographs depicts Lake Amboseli during and after a drought that lasted from 2005 to 2006 in southern Kenya. Lake Amboseli is a seasonal lake that retains water well after...
This project seeks to improve the student’s understanding of the terrestrial water budget by exploring the dynamics of one of its major components: evapotranspiration, a process that includes the...
This collection of twelve photographs illustrates how the Maasai use Acacia during prolonged drought, and the impacts of that use on long-term ecosystem processes. The Maasai are the largest group of...
River discharge couples terrestrial ecosystems with oceanic ecosystems. Fluctuations in river discharges from drought or flood events can have significant effects on coastal ecosystems.
Students learn how drought affects aquatic ecosystem services such as freshwater provision and habitat preservation by critically analyzing the current problems in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta....
