A method of estimating in-stream residence time of water in rivers (2014)
Journal Article
Worrall, F., Howden, N., & Burt, T. (2014). A method of estimating in-stream residence time of water in rivers. Journal of Hydrology, 512, 274-284. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2014.02.050

This study develops a method for estimating the average in-stream residence time of water in a river channel and across large catchments, i.e. the time between water entering a river and reaching a downstream monitoring point. The methodology uses ri... Read More about A method of estimating in-stream residence time of water in rivers.

Shifts in discharge-concentration relationships as a small catchment recover from severe drought (2014)
Journal Article
Burt, T., Worrall, F., Howden, N., & Anderson, M. (2015). Shifts in discharge-concentration relationships as a small catchment recover from severe drought. Hydrological Processes, 29(4), 498-507. https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.10169

This paper provides evidence of the recovery of a small, moorland catchment to a severe drought, the most extreme on record in the UK. We present a detailed water quality time series for the post-drought recovery period, from the first significant st...

Time series analysis of the world’s longest fluvial nitrate record: evidence for changing states of catchment saturation (2014)
Journal Article
Worrall, F., Howden, N., & Burt, T. (2014). Time series analysis of the world’s longest fluvial nitrate record: evidence for changing states of catchment saturation. Hydrological Processes, 22(3), 434-444. https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.10164

Processes that drive the occurrence of nitrate concentrations in surface waters are known to operate over many decades longer than the available observations. This study considers the world's longest water quality record of nitrate concentrations in...
