Predicting Flood Conditions in the Next Few Years

by Valeriy Ivanov 7 February 20237 June 2023

Multiyear flood predictions are possible for watersheds in which the magnitude and frequency of flooding can be related to an atmospheric pressure see-saw in the North Atlantic region.

Summer Fire Means Winter Melt

by Valeriy Ivanov 2 February 20232 February 2023

Changing wildfire activity in California may impact seasonal hydrology by causing intense snowmelt during winter in areas where fires extend into higher elevation zones.

Streamflow Drought Intensification in the European Alps

by Valeriy Ivanov 1 February 202331 January 2023

A five-decade analysis of drought generation processes in the Alps shows their changing seasonality in high-elevation basins with increasingly frequent droughts caused by a lack of snowmelt water.

Vegetation Carries the Signature of Recent Precipitation

by Valeriy Ivanov 3 October 202228 September 2022

Vegetation response to precipitation is important for near-term weather predictability, and researchers show that such a response can occur within a few days and last up to two months.

A Unique Glimpse at Sediment Erosion and Deposition by Wind

by Valeriy Ivanov 21 July 202221 July 2022

The Lut Desert in Iran is an exceptional natural laboratory to study how wind moves sediment across the landscape. A new study quantifies erosional and depositional sediment fluxes of the desert.

Lightning in Alaskan Tundra Ignites Most Fires

by Valeriy Ivanov 19 July 202211 August 2022

Cloud-to-ground lightning is found to be the most important controller of wildfire occurrence in the Artic tundra of Alaska from 2001 to 2019.

Not All Clays are Made Equal – and it Matters for Hydrology

by Valeriy Ivanov 10 February 20228 August 2022

Soil clay content is an important characteristic that affects many hydraulic and mechanical properties of soil; clay mineral type is important for their prediction.

Evolution is More Important than Environment for Water Uptake

by Valeriy Ivanov 8 February 20223 May 2022

Despite conventional assumptions, a new study shows that evolutionary proximity of species defines root water uptake strategies, not their position in landscape or ambient environment.
