Interflow, throughflow and subsurface stormflow are interchangeable terms that refer to the
lateral subsurface flow above a restricting layer of lower hydraulic conductivity that occurs …

Quantifying evapotranspiration (ET) is critical to accurately predict vegetation health,
groundwater recharge, and streamflow generation. Hillslope aspect, the direction a hillslope …

The creation of fractures in bedrock dictates water movement through the critical zone,
controlling weathering, vadose zone water storage, and groundwater recharge. However …

Poisson's ratio for earth materials is usually assumed to be positive (Vp/Vs> 1.4). However,
this assumption may not be valid in the critical zone because near Earth's surface effective …

Understanding how soil thickness and bedrock weathering vary across ridge and valley
topography is needed to constrain the flowpaths of water and sediment production within a …

The Earth's critical zone (CZ) extends from the top of vegetation canopies to the base of
weathered bedrock. Within this region, rock meets life, as water is stored and released to …

Predicting the spatial variation of soil thickness is essential to improve our understanding
different hydrological and geomorphological processes, such as landslides, surface runoff …

Climate change may shift patterns of streamflow permanence in headwater systems by
altering the frequency, magnitude, duration, timing, and rate of change of surface …
