Chemical Flux During Event Stormwater Flows In The Great Smoky Mountains National Park: Comparison Of Two Streams Varying By Drainage Area And Elevation, Matthew Williams Aplin
Chemical Flux During Event Stormwater Flows In The Great Smoky Mountains National Park: Comparison Of Two Streams Varying By Drainage Area And Elevation, Matthew Williams Aplin
Masters Theses
Streams in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina and Tennessee have been impacted by acid deposition from anthropogenic sources for decades. Recent declines in acid deposition throughout the eastern U.S. appear to be initiating improvements in stream water quality. However, watershed recovery could take decades due to regional differences in the hydrologic and biogeochemical processes that influence chemical fate and transport. These processes have been extensively studied at longer time scales (i.e. seasonally, annually), by long-term annual ion budgets, and study designs based on grab samples. Less known are the acidification effects on streams through rapid ion …
Comparison Of Baseflow-Stormflow Ion Mass Export For Two Streams In The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Guy Thomas Zimmerman
Comparison Of Baseflow-Stormflow Ion Mass Export For Two Streams In The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Guy Thomas Zimmerman
Masters Theses
This study characterizes the mass transport of ions in two streams in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, comparing transport between stormflow and baseflow periods. By comparing ion mass transport between these two hydrological conditions, the importance of soil and the governing biogeochemical processes will be underscored. Two water quality monitoring study sites were located on the Middle Prong of the Little Pigeon River and Ramsey Prong within the same basin. These remote sites were equipped with YSI 6920 multi-parameter sonde to record continuous 15-min data of pH, depth, conductivity, turbidity, and temperature. Additionally, ISCO 6712 composite samplers were used …
