Watershed Processes and Modeling

This project conducts research in watershed processes and modeling. Work is done in cooperation with USGS projects and personnel located in Throughout the United States.

The main purpose of this Web page is to "point" the reader to published material produced by the project.

Some ongoing and recently completed areas of research are:

• TOPMODEL Research
• Effects of digital elevation models (DEM) resolution on landscape characteristics
• STATSGO soil characteristics for the conterminous United States
• Relations between terrain characteristics and stream chemistry
• Effects of climate change on water resources

Links of interest:

• TOPMODEL Web page
• Modular Modeling System
• The GIS weasel
• USGS Surface-water quality and flow Modeling Interest Group (SMIG)
• USGS Water Resources Applications Software
• USGS-NMD's 1-km resolution DEM
