Series Description 

Please join catchment science researchers and CUAHSI each Wednesday at 1:00 pm ET from February 10 – March 31 for a webinar series on experimental catchment research at sites across the globe. This series will feature short- and longer-format talks and discussions on research catchments, and their value to science and society. Please attend and share your ideas on cross-site syntheses! Follow CUAHSI on twitter @CUAHSI to stay up-to-date on the latest webinar topics!

Week 1, Feb. 10.  Introduction: The Global Catchment Map and Perspectives from Diverse Geographies

We will have a 10-minute introduction by the conveners featuring our Catchments of the World map, a brief overview of catchment science history, the scientific and societal value of catchments, and our goals for this speaker series.

Next will be 5 talks (10-minute slots) with perspectives from diverse geographies:

  • Tim Burt, UK. Very long weather records (Oxford from 1767, Durham from 1841) and implications for local rivers.
  • Manfred Staehli/Ilja van Meerfeld, Switzerland. Long-term hydrological research in the Alptal catchment, central
  • Breck Bowden, USA. Long-term biogeochemical responses of an Arctic river to a changing climate: The Upper Kuparuk River Experiment.
  • Jasper Slingsby, South Africa. Jonkershoek: Africa’s oldest catchment experiment - 80 years and counting.
  • Irena Creed, Canada. Vulnerable waters confer watershed resilience.

Week 2, Feb. 17. Historical Hydrology and Hydrologic Change

This week is devoted to hydrology, a fundamental and unifying discipline across catchment studies. Jeff McDonnell will give an overview talk (25 mins) on how hydrologic research is foundational to catchment science, to be followed by five site-specific talks (7 mins) on catchment hydrology studies. As with each week, we will leave 15 minutes for discussion. 

  • Jeff McDonnell, University of Saskatchewan. The evolving perceptual model of hillslope connections to their channels: A short history
  • Devendra Amatya, U.S. Forest Service. Hydrology of long-term Santee Experimental Forest catchments in coastal South Carolina, USA
  • Melissa Rose, Northern Arizona University. Correlating trends in vegetation cover with water yields at the Sierra Ancha Experimental Forest using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) 
  • Mark Green, Case Western University. Changing water budgets at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, New Hampshire USA
  • Paul Brooks, University of Utah. Long-term data from headwater catchments provides novel insights into streamflow response to climate
  • Jeff McDonnell, University of Saskatchewan. The Maimai experimental catchment: Forty years of process-based research on steep, wet hillslopes.

Introduction to Critical Zone Observatories and Watershed Sites.

  Dear Watershed Science Community,   The  Early career network-of-networks team  is pleased to announce the Fall 2021 Webinar series on  Introduction to Critical Zone Observatories and Watershed Sites . This webinar series hosted by CUAHSI will occur every Tuesday from August 24 till September 28 at 9:00 AM Pacific Time. The goal of the series is to discuss ideas and brainstorm on ways to enhance collaboration and integration across different international critical zone observatories and watershed sites. The webinars will include several researchers from watershed science and critical zone communities. Read more about this effort  here .   The first webinar will be held on  August 24th, 2021  9 am Pacific and provide an introduction to the montane sites across the world. Confirmed speakers for the first webinar include Susan Hubbard (Berkeley Laboratory), Holly Barnard (CU Boulder), Steven Holbrook (Virginia Tech), Antonello Provenzale (National Research Council of Italy) and Fan Zhan

Isotope Tracers in Catchment Hydrology

  We are once again running our Isotope Tracers in Catchment Hydrology course, designed as a national graduate level course (accessible to all Canadian students for credit), but also available to professionals. The course will run from May 10 through 14 online. All of the details pertaining to the class can be found on our class website:  https://water.usask.ca/hillslope/teaching/isotope-tracers-in-catchment-hydrology.php   All are welcome, and participants from outside academia and Canada are encouraged to enrich the discussion.   Hope to see you there, Trish (on behalf of course instructors)   Dr. Tricia Stadnyk, P.Eng.
