Streambank vertical temperature profile data collected along tributaries to Farmington River, CT, USA in 2021 Streambank vertical temperature profile data collected along tributaries to Farmington River, CT, USA in 2021
Groundwater is often supersaturated in greenhouse gases (GHGs; i.e. CO2, CH4, N2O) and delivers these gasses to stream channels where they are either emitted, consumed, or transported downstream. However, areas of relatively spatially-focused (‘preferential’) groundwater discharge may also be located above the waterline and be immediate sources of GHGs to the atmosphere before moving...

Riverbank vertical temperature profiler data and calculated groundwater discharge flux estimates from the Farmington River corridor, CT, USA Riverbank vertical temperature profiler data and calculated groundwater discharge flux estimates from the Farmington River corridor, CT, USA
As the climate warms and dry periods become more extreme, shallow groundwater discharge is generally becoming a less reliable source of streamflow while deep groundwater discharge remains a more resilient source. The implications of shifts in the relative balance of shallow and deep groundwater discharge sources are profound in gaining streams. These different sources exert critical...

Preferential groundwater discharges along stream corridors are disregarded sources of greenhouse gases Preferential groundwater discharges along stream corridors are disregarded sources of greenhouse gases
Groundwater delivery of greenhouse gases (GHGs) to stream banks and riparian areas, before mixing with surface waters, has not been well quantified. We measured preferential groundwater delivery of GHGs to stream banks within three stream reaches, and found that stream banks with discharging groundwater emitted more CO2 and were sources of N2O compared to stream banks without actively...

Exploring landscape and geologic controls on spatial patterning of streambank groundwater discharge in a mixed land use watershed Exploring landscape and geologic controls on spatial patterning of streambank groundwater discharge in a mixed land use watershed
Preferential groundwater discharge features along stream corridors are ecologically important at local and stream network scales, yet we lack quantification of the multiscale controls on the spatial patterning of groundwater discharge. Here we identify physical attributes that best explain variation in the presence and lateral extent of preferential groundwater discharges along two 5th...

Where the past meets the present: Connecting nitrogen from watersheds to streams through groundwater flowpaths Where the past meets the present: Connecting nitrogen from watersheds to streams through groundwater flowpaths
Groundwater discharge to streams is a nonpoint source of nitrogen (N) that confounds N mitigation efforts and represents a significant portion of the annual N loading to watersheds. However, we lack an understanding of where and how much groundwater N enters streams and watersheds. Nitrogen concentrations at the end of groundwater flowpaths are the culmination of biogeochemical and...

Shallow and local or deep and regional? Inferring source groundwater characteristics across mainstem riverbank discharge faces Shallow and local or deep and regional? Inferring source groundwater characteristics across mainstem riverbank discharge faces
Riverbank groundwater discharge faces are spatially extensive areas of preferential seepage that are exposed to air at low river flow. Some conceptual hydrologic models indicate discharge faces represent the spatial convergence of highly variable age and length groundwater flowpaths, while others indicate greater consistency in source groundwater characteristics. Our detailed field...

Exploring local riverbank sediment controls on the occurrence of preferential groundwater discharge points Exploring local riverbank sediment controls on the occurrence of preferential groundwater discharge points
Groundwater discharge to rivers takes many forms, including preferential groundwater discharge points (PDPs) along riverbanks that are exposed at low flows, with multi-scale impacts on aquatic habitat and water quality. The physical controls on the spatial distribution of PDPs along riverbanks are not well-defined, rendering their prediction and representation in models challenging. To...
