Potential Impacts of Prospective Climate Change on Groundwater Recharge in the Western United States
Groundwater withdrawals in the western US are a critical component of the water resources strategy for the region. Climate change already may be substantially altering recharge into groundwater systems; however, the quantity and direction (increase or decrease) of changes are relatively unknown as most climate change assessments have focused on surface water systems. We propose to conduct a broad scale literature review followed by a synthesis of available data, analysis and simulations with available downscaled climate scenarios to understand how recharge in the western US might respond to plausible climatic shifts during the rest of the 21st Century. We will produce an estimated range of impacts on groundwater...

The West Fork of Dall Creek is located ~100km southwest of Coldfoot, AK along the Dalton Highway, south of the Brooks Range. Five ground penetrating radar (GPR) profiles were collected on 4/4/2019 at the West Fork of Dall Creek in interior Alaska. The West Fork of Dall Creek is composed of unburned black spruce forest with a burn scar from the 2004 Dall City Fire. All collected profiles, other than the Central Midpoint Survey (CMP), transect the burn scar between start and end locations in unburned black spruce forest. Data were collected with a Sensors and Software pulseEKKO pro unit and 100 mHz antennas. Four of the lines were conducted as common offset surveys with manual data collection that employed a consistent...
The West Fork of Dall Creek is located ~100km southwest of Coldfoot, AK along the Dalton Highway, south of the Brooks Range. The West Fork of Dall Creek is composed of unburned black spruce forest with a burn scar from the 2004 Dall City Fire. Multi-season, multi-method geophysical data were collected both within the burned and unburned areas. Geophysical techniques used include Nuculear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data. NMR data were collected with a down borehole Dart tool (Vista Clara Inc.). GPR data were collected with a Sensors and Software pulseEKKO pro unit and 100 mHz antennas and a high power (1000V) transmitter. Soil temperature data were collected from the unburned black...
The West Fork of Dall Creek is located ~100km southwest of Coldfoot, AK along the Dalton Highway, south of the Brooks Range. The West Fork of Dall Creek is composed of unburned black spruce forest with a burn scar from the 2004 Dall City Fire. HOBO Tidbit v2 temperature data loggers that recorded soil temperature were installed in the unburned black spruce forest adjacent to the burn scar on 5/10/2017 and removed on 6/26/2018. Data were collected from depths of 10, 30, 50, and 70 cm.
1) To better understand linkages between climate (and other perturbations such as land use change and fire) and variably saturated subsurface flow with focus on hydrologically extreme environments including arid to semiarid regions and subarctic to arctic permafrost systems, and 2) to simulate/predict hydrologic and related impacts resulting from system change by integrating cutting-edge data from remote sensing and geophysical methods into innovative numerical models.

This collection of hydrologic, biogeochemical, geophysical, soil, thermal, and physical data provides a framework for investigating the vulnerability of water and carbon cycles to changing permafrost conditions across boreal Alaska. Multidisciplinary data are needed to evaluate the effects of fire and climate on subsurface permafrost, soil physical, and hydrological conditions, which in turn are used to inform hydrological modeling of surface and subsurface water distribution, flow, and water availability in response to change. Vulnerability of the aquatic carbon cycle is investigated by detailed characterization of the chemistry, age, and degradability of permafrost carbon sources and their biogeochemical change,...
The West Fork of Dall Creek is located ~100km southwest of Coldfoot, AK along the Dalton Highway, south of the Brooks Range. The West Fork of Dall Creek is composed of unburned black spruce forest with a burn scar from the 2004 Dall City Fire. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data were acquired with a Dart down-borehole tool (Vista Clara, Inc., Mukiltea, Washington) within both the burn scar and the unburned black spruce forest. Boreholes were augered to various depths throughout the study, and PVC was permanently installed in boreholes WFD1, WFD2, WFD3, and WFD4 in June of 2018. The Dart measures a thin (i.e. ~1–2 mm) cylindrical shell of soil ~ 15 cm from the center of the tool and extending vertically ~23 cm...
Existing studies on the impacts of climate change on groundwater recharge are either global or basin/location-specific. The global studies lack the specificity to inform decision making, while the local studies do little to clarify potential changes over large regions (major river basins, states, or groups of states), a scale often important in the development of water policy. An analysis of the potential impact of climate change on groundwater recharge across the western United States (west of 100° longitude) is presented synthesizing existing studies and applying current knowledge of recharge processes and amounts. Eight representative aquifers located across the region were evaluated. For each aquifer published...
