Water’s natural fingerprints reveal how it’s stored, mixed, and released through the Earth’s Critical Zone, potentially improving Earth System models in a rapidly warming world.

Methodology plays a crucial role in sampling meltwater for stable water isotope analysis. We tested three different setups in boreal subarctic conditions. The passive capillary sampler setup appears ...

Preferential flow (PF) is ubiquitous across the USA and occurs in up to 60% of all rainfall events ≥2 mm Rainfall intensity, soil texture, and antecedent soil moisture emerge as critical in gener...

Tracer-aided mixing models are uniquely capable of identifying water flow paths and sources within the Critical Zone Recent advances offer novel tracers and models for deeper and more accurate in...

Job title: Postdoctoral Position in Glacier-Permafrost Interaction (284172), Employer: UNIS, Deadline: Sunday, August 31, 2025

The «WaldLab Forest Experimental Site» on Hönggerberg in Zurich is a key site in the international EU Horizon project CryoSCOPE, which started in February 2025. CryoSCOPE investigates the interplay be...

Excited to officially announce CryoSCOPE! We are attempting to quantify the complex interactions between the atmosphere, cryosphere, and hydrosphere to answer…

Abstract. The water balance of catchments will, in many cases, strongly depend on its state in the recent past (e.g. previous days). Processes causing significant hydrological memory may persist at lo...

Abstract. Compared to drought and heat waves, the impact of winter warming on forest CO2 fluxes has been less studied, despite its significant relevance in colder regions with higher soil carbon conte...

The aggregate length of flowing streams in a drainage network lengthens and shortens as landscapes become wetter and drier. However, direct measurements of stream network variability have been limited...

Through a series of tree core rehydration experiments, we demonstrated that xylem water 2H cryogenic vacuum extraction (CVE) biases varied significantly with plant water status and species identity. ...
