  • Thesis Spatial and Temporal Variability in Channel
    THESIS SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL VARIABILITY IN CHANNEL SURFACE FLOW ACROSS AN ELEVATION GRADIENT ON THE COLORADO FRONT RANGE Submitted by Caroline Martin Department of Ecosystem Science and Sustainability In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2018 Masters Coittee: Advisor: Stephanie Kampf Sara Rathburn Michael Falkowski Copyright by Caroline Elizabeth Martin 2018 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL VARIABILITY IN CHANNEL SURFACE FLOW ACROSS AN ELEVATION GRADIENT ON COLORADO FRONT RANGE Topographic indices such as Upslope Accumulation Area (UAA) and the Topographic Wetness Index (TWI) are commonly used in watershed analyses to derive channel networks. These indices work well for large rivers and streams, but they do not always produce stream locations that match those observed in the field for headwater streams, where geology and soils affect locations of surface channels. This study maps the actively flowing drainage network of four headwater watersheds across an elevation gradient in the Colorado Front Range and examines how these locations of flow relate to topography, geology, climate, and soils. The objectives are to 1) document and digitize the active stream networks in the field, 2) delineate stream network with topographic indices and evaluate how index-derived channel networks compare with observations, and 3) evaluate how geology, climate, and soils affect surface water flow paths. Study sites are small headwater watersheds (1.7 – 15.5 km2) that vary in elevation from 1780 m up to 4190 m. At each watershed, surveys of surface water locations were conducted twice during the summer about a month apart in order to capture temporal variation.

    CONTINENTAL DIVIDE NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL DAY & OVERNIGHT HIKES: COLORADO CONTINENTAL DIVIDE TRAIL COALITION VISIT COLORADO! Day & Overnight Hikes on the Continental Divide Trail THE CENTENNIAL STATE The Colorado Rockies are the quintessential CDT experience! The CDT traverses 800 miles of these majestic and challenging peaks dotted with abandoned homesteads and ghost towns, and crosses the ancestral lands of the Ute, Eastern Shoshone, and Cheyenne peoples. The CDT winds through some of Colorado’s most incredible landscapes: the spectacular alpine tundra of the South San Juan, Weminuche, and La Garita Wildernesses where the CDT remains at or above 11,000 feet for nearly 70 miles; remnants of the late 1800’s ghost town of Hancock that served the Alpine Tunnel; the awe-inspiring Collegiate Peaks near Leadville, the highest incorporated city in America; geologic oddities like The Window, Knife Edge, and Devil’s Thumb; the towering 14,270 foot Grays Peak – the highest point on the CDT; Rocky Mountain National Park with its rugged snow-capped skyline; the remote Never Summer Wilderness; and the broad valleys and numerous glacial lakes and cirques of the Mount Zirkel Wilderness. You might also encounter moose, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, marmots, and pika on the CDT in Colorado. In this guide, you’ll find Colorado’s best day and overnight hikes on the CDT, organized south to north. ELEVATION: The average elevation of the CDT in Colorado is 10,978 ft, and all of the hikes listed in this guide begin at elevations above 8,000 ft. Remember to bring plenty of water, sun protection, and extra food, and know that a hike at elevation will likely be more challenging than the same distance hike at sea level.
