Water chemistry data for Fourmile Creek Watershed, Colorado, 2010-2015
Extreme climate events– such as hurricanes, droughts, ice storms, extreme precipitation, and wildfires– have the potential to cause large changes in watershed processes, response, and function. A five-year post-wildfire study of stream chemistry in the Colorado Front Range USA, enabled the analysis of the effects these events have water quality, which is published in the journal article Murphy, S.F., McCleskey, R.B., Martin, D.A., Writer, J.H., and Ebel, B.A., in review, Fire, flood, and drought: Extreme climate events alter flowpaths and stream chemistry: JGR-Biogeosciences. That article describes how extreme climate events altered concentration-discharge relations in ways that elucidate hydrologic flow paths and the role of material connectivity in stream water chemistry. The datasets provided here contain the data used in that analysis.
