TL;DR: The concept of hot spots and hot moments (HSHM) was coined by McClain et al. as discussed by the authors to describe the potential for rare places and rare events to exert a disproportionate influence on the movement of elements at the scale of landscapes and ecosystems.

TL;DR: Several causes of zero-flow gage readings are described: frozen surface water, flow reversals, instrument error, and natural or human-driven upstream source losses or bypass flow and their implications for reach- and watershed-scale dynamics are described.

TL;DR: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) developed the Probability of Streamflow PERmanence (PROSPER) model, a GIS raster-based empirical model that provides streamflow permanence probabilities (probabilistic predictions) for any unregulated and minimally-impaired stream channel in the Pacific Northwest region as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the intersection at Tenderfoot Creek Experimental Forest (TCEF), Montana, with a focus on the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) epidemic currently affecting the Rocky Mountains.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method to solve the problem of water scarcity in the United States by using a water-conserving water supply system, based on the KWIR algorithm.
