Variability Of Water Storage And Instream Temperature In Beaded Arctic Streams, Madeline F. Merck
Variability Of Water Storage And Instream Temperature In Beaded Arctic Streams, Madeline F. Merck
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The purpose of this study is to investigate variation in water export and instream temperatures throughout the open water season in a beaded Arctic stream, consisting of small pools connected by shallow chutes. The goals are to better understand heat and mass movement through these systems, how this may impact chemical and biological processes, and the resulting shifts with changes in climate. This is accomplished by first examining the extent and variability of water storage and export through qualitative analysis of observational data. Further, heat fate and transport is examined through development of an instream temperature model. The model formulation, …
