Climate, physical landscapes, and biota interact to generate heterogeneous hydrologic
conditions in space and over time, which are reflected in spatial patterns of species …

For thousands of years, humans have created different types of terraces in different sloping
conditions, meant to mitigate flood risks, reduce soil erosion and conserve water. These …

Rough surfaces are ubiquitous in nature. Near-surface processes both encounter and create
surface roughness. Recent advances in surveying have improved the resolution, extent and …

An understanding of the transport and survival of microbial pathogens (pathogens hereafter)
in agricultural settings is needed to assess the risk of pathogen contamination to water and …

One of the most difficult issues in the development of hydrologic models is to find a rigorous
source of data and specific parameters to a given problem, on a given location that enable …

Soil microtopography is a property of critical importance in many earth surface processes but
is often difficult to quantify. Advances in computer vision technologies have made image …

Surface runoff on agricultural fields arises when rainfall exceeds infiltration. Excess water
ponding in and flowing through local microtopography increases the hydrological …

The hydrological response of semiarid watersheds to short but intense rainfall events is
complex due to feedbacks among water fluxes, vegetation patches, topography, and soil …

Sea‐level rise and increases in the frequency and intensity of ocean surges caused by
climate change are likely to exacerbate adverse effects on low‐lying coastal areas. The …

Rainfall-runoff simulations are increasingly being performed with physically-based and
spatially distributed solvers. The current computational and numerical technology enables …
