TLDR
This study uses multi-year temperature records from 120 stream sites located across 18 mountain watersheds of Shenandoah National Park and a coastal watershed in Massachusetts to develop paired air and stream water annual temperature signal analysis techniques to elucidate the relative groundwater contribution to stream water and the effective groundwater flowpath depth.

Theory, tools, and multidisciplinary applications for tracing groundwater fluxes from temperature profiles

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight relevant theory, thermal data collection techniques, and recent diverse field applications to stimulate further multidisciplinary uptake of thermal groundwater tracing methods that rely on temperature-depth profiles.

Continental-scale analysis of shallow and deep groundwater contributions to streams.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors pair multi-year air and stream temperature signals to categorize 1729 sites across the continental United States as having major dam influence, shallow or deep groundwater signatures, or lack of pronounced groundwater (atmospheric) signatures.

Temperature buffering by groundwater in ecologically valuable lowland streams under current and future climate conditions

TL;DR: In this article, the importance of groundwater for the temperature of two Dutch lowland streams and its possible role in mitigating the effects of climate change was determined by combining field measurements and a modelling experiment.

Fractal stream chemistry and its implications for contaminant transport in catchments

TL;DR: Detailed time series of chloride, a natural tracer, in both rainfall and runoff from headwater catchments at Plynlimon, Wales indicate that these catchments do not have characteristic flushing times, and their travel times follow an approximate power-law distribution implying that they will retain a long chemical memory of past inputs.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review and evaluation of catchment transit time modeling

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an evaluation and review of the transit time literature in the context of catchments and water transit time estimation and provide a critical analysis of unresolved issues when applied at the catchment-scale.

Heat as a tracer to determine streambed water exchanges

TL;DR: A review of relevant literature suggests researchers often graphically visualize temperature data to enhance conceptual models of heat and water flow in the near-stream environment and to determine site-specific approaches of data analysis as discussed by the authors.

Aggregation in environmental systems – Part 1: Seasonal tracer cycles quantify young water fractions, but not mean transit times, in spatially heterogeneous catchments

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used simple benchmark tests to explore the general problem of using seasonal cycles in chemical or isotopic tracers to estimate timescales of storage in catchments.
