Hydrologic synthesis: Across processes, places, and scales

9 Hydrologic Processes

A catchment is a basic unit of landscape particularly for investigations of hydrologic processes. Typically, the topographic boundary of a catchment coincides with the hydrologic boundary causing any precipitation falling on to the catchment to be routed to a stream where it is transported out of the catchment. Fundamental components of the hydrologic cycle, such as precipitation, runoff and ev...

Ladder versus star: Comparing two approaches for generalizing hydrologic flowline data across multiple scales

Application of a Conceptual Hydrologic Model in Teaching Hydrologic Processes*

In this study, a hands-on modeling tool is developed for students in civil engineering and earth science disciplines to help them learn the fundamentals of hydrologic processes and basic concepts of model calibration and sensitivity analysis, and practice conceptual thinking in solving and analysis of engineering problems. This modeling tool aims to provide an interdisciplinary application-orie...

Hydrologic and Cryospheric Processes Observed from Space

Ten Dragon 3 projects deal with hydrologic and cryosphere processes, with a focus on the Himalayas and Qinghai – Tibet Plateau, but not limited to that. At the 1 Dragon 3 Progress Symposium in 2013 a significant potential for a better and deeper integration appeared very clearly and we worked out an overview of the ten projects identifying specific issues and objectives shared by at least two p...
