Extreme Streamflow Events in the Upper Missouri River Basin
Extreme streamflow in the upper Missouri River Basin has become more prevalent in recent decades. Since 1975, 9 out of the 10 most extreme streamflow years on the Missouri River Basin since 1898 have occurred.

Sediment Modeling in the Colorado Front Range
Soil erosion adds constituents to streams, altering water chemistry and streambed morphology. This can adversely affect aquatic life, water resource infrastructure and regulation due to increased contaminants and sediment buildup above reservoirs.
