Suspended organic particles are important to river food webs and in the transfer of organic carbon from land to ocean. In an experiment conducted in Stroud Water Research Center’s streamside…
This collaborative proposal will generate the mathematical models that simulate stream flow in White Clay Creek and the movement of water carrying dissolved organic carbon from soils to the stream.…
Scientists have grown young deciduous trees in an atmosphere enriched with the stable isotope of carbon so as to follow the fate of those organic molecules in small laboratory reactors,…

The difference between the organic materials that enter and leave a river system tells us how the river affects greenhouse gases.
Two weeks into their work in Papua New Guinea, Dr. Anthony Aufdenkampe and his colleagues had already surveyed more than 600 miles of remote jungle rivers.
Stroud Center scientists think Papua New Guinea might be more important in terms of carbon and sediment discharge than the entire Amazon River.
This collaborative research will generate the first model that links the water and carbon cycles of river catchments by focusing on the interactions of water movement and organic carbon in…
