A national-scale comparison of STEPLgrid and SPARROW}, volume={150}, ISSN={["1873-6726"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsoft.2022.105344}, DOI={10.1016/j.envsoft.2022.105344}, abstractNote={This study investigated whether a simple model could scale across watersheds and effectively predict runoff-driven nutrient loading as compared to a model with more complex process representation. A lumped model, the Spreadsheet Tool for Estimating Pollutant Load (STEPL), was adapted to use gridded data (STEPLgrid) and applied to 112 coastal watersheds across the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts of the contiguous United States (U.S.) to estimate annual runoff-driven total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) loads. STEPLgrid outputs were compared to those of the SPAtially Referenced Regression on Watershed Attributes (SPARROW) model. Relative to SPARROW, STEPLgrid produced comparable estimates of TN and TP loads for most watersheds studied and its predicted loads were more similar to SPARROW for TN than TP. STEPLgrid was particularly effective at rank-ordering watersheds by TN and TP loads as compared to SPARROW, indicating that STEPLgrid was useful for relative comparisons across diverse watersheds. • STEPL was adapted to allow for its application with gridded data at large spatial scales (STEPLgrid). • STEPLgrid and SPARROW estimates of total N and P loads were compared for 112 coastal watersheds. • STEPLgrid estimates of total P loads were more similar to those of SPARROW than total N. • STEPLgrid was particularly effective at rank-ordering watersheds by nutrient load. • Simple models can be useful for comparing nutrient load scenarios across multiple basins.}, journal={ENVIRONMENTAL MODELLING & SOFTWARE}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Montefiore, Lise R. and Nelson, Natalie G.}, year={2022}, month={Apr} }

To meet rising demands for climate-literate workers, undergraduate courses and curricula will require updates so that students are afforded opportunities to engage in climate science education. Previous research on undergraduate climate education has primarily focused on evaluating whether students have grounding in essential climate science principles, but these studies fail to capture the degree to which students feel they are exposed to climate education in their undergraduate programs and courses. In this study, we characterize recent trends in undergraduates’ perceived exposure to climate education across the U.S. by analyzing responses to a national survey of graduate students who attended undergraduate institutions in the U.S. (n = 423). Survey respondents scored the levels of exposure that they received to a variety of climatological topics during their undergraduate studies, which ranged from applied (e.g., earth observations, numerical modeling) to interdisciplinary (e.g., agricultural climatology, hydroclimatology) and specialized (e.g., boundary-layer climatology). Our results reveal that those who received bachelor’s degrees from programs related to human dimensions of natural resources management (e.g., geography, resource economics) generally felt that their undergraduate curricula provided them with exposure to climate education, whereas those who graduated from programs in engineering and the agricultural and life sciences largely reported a lack of climate coverage in their undergraduate studies. Students of all disciplinary backgrounds indicated that they received poor exposure to numerical modeling of historical and future climatic conditions. Findings from this study underline key areas in which curricular or course improvements are needed to ensure that future decision-makers are confident in their practical use of climate science.
