Watershed services in the humid tropics: Opportunities from recent advances in ecohydrology (2017)
Journal Article
Pompeu, P. V., Rocha, H., Poca, M., Johnson, M., Krishnaswamy, J., Hamel, P., …Jasechko, S. (2018). Watershed services in the humid tropics: Opportunities from recent advances in ecohydrology. Ecohydrology, 11(3), Article e1921. https://doi.org/10.1002/eco.1921

In response to increasing pressures on water resources, watershed services management programs are implemented throughout the tropics. These programs aim to promote land management activities that enhance the quantity and quality of water available t...

Contribution of supra-permafrost discharge to thermokarst lake water balances on the northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (2017)
Journal Article
Pan, X., Yu, Q., You, Y., Chun, K. P., Shi, X., & Li, Y. (2017). Contribution of supra-permafrost discharge to thermokarst lake water balances on the northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Journal of Hydrology, 555, 621-630. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2017.10.046

The seasonal hydrological mechanisms of two thermokarst lakes on the northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) were characterized by three-year intensive field observations and a water balance model. In three ice-free seasons, the supra-permafrost dis... Read More about Contribution of supra-permafrost discharge to thermokarst lake water balances on the northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Advancing ecohydrology in the changing tropics: Perspectives from early career scientists (2017)
Journal Article
Wright, C., Kagawa-Viviani, A., Gerlein-Safdi, C., Mosquera, G., Poca, M., Tseng, H., & Chun, K. P. (2018). Advancing ecohydrology in the changing tropics: Perspectives from early career scientists. Ecohydrology, 11(3), Article e1918. https://doi.org/10.1002/eco.1918

Tropical ecosystems offer a unique setting for understanding ecohydrological processes, but to date, such investigations have been limited. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of studying these processes—specifically, how they ar...

DIY meteorology: Use of citizen science to monitor snow dynamics in a data-sparse city (2017)
Journal Article
Appels, W. M., Bradford, L., Chun, K. P., Coles, A. E., & Strickert, G. (2017). DIY meteorology: Use of citizen science to monitor snow dynamics in a data-sparse city. FACETS, 2(2), 734-753. https://doi.org/10.1139/facets-2017-0030

Cities are under pressure to operate their services effectively and project costs of operations across various timeframes. In high-latitude and high-altitude urban centers, snow management is one of the larger unknowns and has both operational and bu...

Ecohydrological disturbances associated with roads: Current knowledge, research needs, and management concerns with reference to the tropics (2017)
Journal Article
Wemple, B. C., Browning, T., Ziegler, A. D., Celi, J., Chun, K. P. S., Jaramillo, F., …Sawyer, D. (2018). Ecohydrological disturbances associated with roads: Current knowledge, research needs, and management concerns with reference to the tropics. Ecohydrology, 11(3), Article e1881. https://doi.org/10.1002/eco.1881

Roads are a pervasive form of disturbance with potential to negatively affect ecohydrological processes. Some of the most rapid growth in road networks is occurring in developing countries, particularly in the tropics, where political agendas are oft...

Recent increases in permafrost thaw rates and areal loss of palsas in the Western Northwest Territories, Canada (2017)
Journal Article
Mamet, S. D., Chun, K. P., Kershaw, G. G., Loranty, M. M., & Peter Kershaw, G. (2017). Recent increases in permafrost thaw rates and areal loss of palsas in the Western Northwest Territories, Canada. Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, 28(4), 619-633. https://doi.org/10.1002/ppp.1951

Decay of palsas can indicate permafrost status, particularly in regions where air temperatures have increased rapidly in recent decades. Using weather data, annual surveys of active-layer thickness, and analyses of high-resolution aerial imagery from...

Spatial distribution of livestock and poultry farm based on livestock manure nitrogen load on farmland and suitability evaluation (2017)
Journal Article
Yan, B., Shi, W., Yan, J., & Chun, K. P. (2017). Spatial distribution of livestock and poultry farm based on livestock manure nitrogen load on farmland and suitability evaluation. Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 139, 180-186. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compag.2017.05.013

A spatial distribution model of livestock manure nutrient was used to study the spatial distribution of livestock manure and livestock manure nitrogen load on farmland (LMNLF) at a patch scale. The spatial distribution of livestock and poultry farm (...

A novel stochastic method for reconstructing daily precipitation times-series using tree-ring data from the western Canadian Boreal Forest (2017)
Journal Article
Chun, K. P., Mamet, S. D., Metsaranta, J., Barr, A., Johnstone, J., & Wheater, H. (2017). A novel stochastic method for reconstructing daily precipitation times-series using tree-ring data from the western Canadian Boreal Forest. Dendrochronologia, 44, 9-18. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dendro.2017.01.003

Tree ring data provide proxy records of historical hydroclimatic conditions that are widely used for reconstructing precipitation time series. Most previous applications are limited to annual time scales, though information about daily precipitation...
