Annie L. Putman, Ph.D.
Annie specializes in stable water isotope systematics, back trajectory analyses, and synthesizing disparate datasets to answer continental and global scale questions.
Annie is also involved in evaluations of salinity trends and sources in the Colorado River Basin, dust origin and dust mediated metals exposure in Northern Utah, evaluating snow models, and and evaluating model processes using surface water stable isotopes. Her interests include evaluation of current and future climate and water use on water availability and quality and evaluations of differential exposure to particulate matter constituents based on historical and current land use practices.

How will baseflow respond to climate change in the Upper Colorado River Basin? How will baseflow respond to climate change in the Upper Colorado River Basin?
Baseflow is critical to sustaining streamflow in the Upper Colorado River Basin. Therefore, effective water resources management requires estimates of baseflow response to climatic changes. This study provides the first estimates of projected baseflow changes from historical (1984 – 2012) to thirty-year periods centered around 2030, 2050, and 2080 under warm/wet, median, and hot/dry...

Changing climate drives future streamflow declines and challenges in meeting water demand across the southwestern United States Changing climate drives future streamflow declines and challenges in meeting water demand across the southwestern United States
Society and the environment in the arid southwestern United States depend on reliable water availability, yet current water use outpaces supply. Water demand is projected to grow in the future and climate change is expected to reduce supply. To adapt, water managers need robust estimates of future regional water supply to support management decisions. To address this need, we estimate...

Atmospheric dust deposition varies by season and elevation in the Colorado Front Range, USA Atmospheric dust deposition varies by season and elevation in the Colorado Front Range, USA
As atmospheric dust deposition continues to increase across the southwestern United States, it has the potential to alter ecosystem productivity and structure by delivering nutrients, base cations, and pollutants to remote mountain sites. Due to the sparse distribution of dust monitoring sites, open questions remain about the spatial and temporal variability of dust fluxes and...
