4 Hillslope Measurement Summary Point Soil Moisture: Locally variable, no apparent relationship to snow distribution Hillslope Flow: Shallow lateral downslope flow during snowmelt Exfiltration at bedrock and topographic breaks Catchment Response: Exfiltration Rapid pathways for melt to reach streams Neither moisture distribution nor runoff source regions would be predicted by most catchment-scale hydrologic models Soil moisture trends on a hillslope transect Exfiltration at topographic breaks 4 Used with permission: Kampf, Stephanie.

5 Study Area: Loch Vale, RMNP Thatchtop Sky Pond Taylor Peak Soil Moisture Study Area Boundary Hillslope Transects The Loch Elevation: m Areal Size: 690 ha 5
6 Research Questions How is soil moisture distributed in space? What geostatistical approach best predicts this distribution? How do local, physical attributes (specifically elevation, slope, aspect, and vegetation type) affect soil moisture distribution? Which variable or combination of variables best predicts soil moisture distribution? 6
7 Research Plan Overview Field Survey -GPS Coordinates -Land Cover Type -Soil Moisture Soil Temperature -Digital Photographs Lidar -Elevation -Slope -Aspect -Top of Canopy Imagery -High Resolution Land Cover Spatial Analysis -Data Exploration -Spatial Statistics -Hypothesis Testing Maps -Soil Moisture Surface -Land Cover Classification Conclusions -Interpolation Method Comparison -Soil Moisture Distribution and Relationship with Local Terrain 7
8 Sampling Plan Pre-sampling Considerations Local Variability of Soil Moisture Temporal Variability Collection Practicality Geostatistical requirements Stratified random target points (cover range of variables) 15 soil moisture measurements at center and in four cardinal directions Sample late in the summer (drained basing) At least 120 GPS positions at center of sampling point Vegetation type, percent ground cover, percent canopy cover, photo(s) of site 8
