For the next matchup of Round 2, we have the Headwater catchments of Fudoji vs Walnut Gulch!

SEE BELOW for some exciting info about these two catchments, and make sure your vote counts by voting at www.agu-h3s.org/rivercup by 4pm PT TODAY (10/15)

Happy new year!

I have a big update to share - starting January 2025 I'm joining the fantastic Virginia Tech Department of Forest Resources and Environmental Conservation as an assistant professor - excited to start linking urban hydrology, legacy sediment, and runoff origins!

Two chemographs (top and bottom) displaying the arrival of modeled tracer from two locations at a model outlet. In solid lines, the chemograph shows tracer modeled without stormwater control measures, and in dashed lines the results from a model with stormwater control measures are shown.

We modeled the movement of a conservative tracer across a hillslope before and after stormwater control measures were constructed, and found that during all storms tracer mass arriving at the outlet was reduced due to SCMs. However the % decrease was small (<5%) in high intensity storms (>16  mm/h).

Disconnect between Capture Areas and Stormwater Runoff: A Pre- and Postinstallation Model of Two Stormwater Control Measures | Journal of Sustainable Water in the Built Environment | Vol 10, No 3 AbstractOverland runoff was modeled before and after the installation of two stormwater control measures (SCMs) in a 23-ha urban catchment. The location of adjacent SCMs, a berm and bioswales, on the ...

Our new paper on the impacts of stormwater control measures on urban runoff is out now! We found that storm intensity drives differences in the relative contribution of upstream areas and the effectiveness of SCMs. ascelibrary.org/doi/10.1061/...
