Headwaters, defined here as first-and secondorder streams, make up 70%‒80% of the total
channel length of river networks. These small streams exert a critical influence on …

Intermittent rivers, those channels that periodically cease to flow, constitute over half of the
total discharge of the global river network and will likely increase in their extent owing to …

Rivers are the great shapers of terrestrial landscapes. Very few points on Earth above sea
level do not lie within a drainage basin. Even points distant from the nearest channel are …

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Water Resources Monograph
Series, Volume 19. What are the forms and processes characteristic of mountain rivers and …

Understanding patterns of expansion, contraction, and disconnection of headwater stream
length in diverse settings is invaluable for the effective management of water resources as …

Abstract Groundwater–surface-water (GW-SW) interactions in streams are difficult to quantify
because of heterogeneity in hydraulic and reactive processes across a range of spatial and …

Headwater streams dominate natural landscapes and provide essential functions for
downstream waters. However, because of minimal legal protection, they often are piped or …

Despite vast scientific inquiry, the evolution of Appalachian Mountain topography in eastern
North America has yet to be robustly explained. After a century and a half of investigation …

Streamflow duration is used to differentiate reaches into discrete classes (eg, perennial,
intermittent, and ephemeral) for water resource management. Because the depiction of the …

The analysis of longitudinal profiles of river channels and terraces in the southern Central
Massif border, between the Aude and the Orb, allows the detection of anomalies caused by …
