A reasonable starting point for gaining such insight is studying changes in streamflow given the importance of streamflow as a source of renewable freshwater. Using a wavelet assisted method we analyzed trends in the magnitude of annual scale streamflow variability from 967 watersheds in the continental U.S. (CONUS) over a 70 year period (1940–2009). Decreased annual variability was the dominant pattern at the CONUS scale. Ecoregion scale results agreed with the CONUS pattern with the exception of two ecoregions closely divided between increases and decreases and one where increases dominated. A comparison of trends in reference and non-reference watersheds indicated that trend magnitudes in non-reference watersheds were significantly larger than those in reference watersheds. Boosted regression tree (BRT) models were used to study the relationship between watershed characteristics and the magnitude of trends in streamflow. At the CONUS scale, the balance between precipitation and evaporative demand, and measures of geographic location were of high relative importance. Relationships between the magnitude of trends and watershed characteristics at the ecoregion scale exhibited differences from the CONUS results and substantial variability was observed among ecoregions. Additionally, the methodology used here has the potential to serve as a robust framework for top-down, data driven analyses of the relationships between changes in the hydrologic cycle and the spatial context within which those changes occur.}, journal={JOURNAL OF HYDROLOGY}, author={Rice, Joshua S. and Emanuel, Ryan E. and Vose, James M.}, year={2016}, month={Sep}, pages={850–860} } @article{rice_emanuel_vose_nelson_2015, title={Continental U.S. streamflow trends from 1940 to 2009 and their relationships with watershed spatial characteristics}, volume={51}, ISSN={0043-1397}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/2014WR016367}, DOI={10.1002/2014wr016367}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={8}, journal={Water Resources Research}, publisher={American Geophysical Union (AGU)}, author={Rice, Joshua S. and Emanuel, Ryan E. and Vose, James M. and Nelson, Stacy A.

We examined the influence of landscape position on spatial patterns in land-use distribution within the Little Tennessee River Basin (LTRB) of the southern Appalachian Mountains. We show that landscape position, defined with respect to both natural and anthropogenic spatial variables, provides for the identification of statistically significant differences in the distribution of common forms of land use in the study region. Using the same variables, significant differences in the landscape positions subject to land-use change in the LTRB are also examined. These results suggest landscape position exerts a strong influence on the distribution of different forms of land use and the likeliness of given area undergoing LUC. The approach presented here, of considering land use as a function of landscape position that responds to both natural and anthropogenic forces, may prove useful in aiding the development of future strategies to address the consequences of land use in many regions.}, number={5}, journal={PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY}, author={Rice, Joshua S. and Emanuel, Ryan E.}, year={2014}, pages={443–457} }
