Paired watershed experiments involving the removal or manipulation of forest cover in one of the watersheds have been conducted for more than a century to quantify the impact of forestry operations on streamflow. Because climate variability is expect... Read More about Seeing the climate through the trees: observing climate and forestry impacts on streamflow using a 60-year record.

An analysis of rainfall across the British Isles in the 1870s (2014)
Journal Article
Burt, T., Jones, P., & Howden, N. (2015). An analysis of rainfall across the British Isles in the 1870s. International Journal of Climatology, 35(10), 2934-2947. https://doi.org/10.1002/joc.4184

Monthly records for the period 1871–1970 from 91 stations across the British Isles are used to place very high rainfall totals during the 1870s, 1872 and 1876–1877 in particular, in context. Comparisons are drawn with 2012 and the winter of 2013–2014... Read More about An analysis of rainfall across the British Isles in the 1870s.

Rainfall distributions in Sri Lanka in time and space: an analysis based on daily rainfall data (2014)
Journal Article
Burt, T., & Weerasinghe, K. (2014). Rainfall distributions in Sri Lanka in time and space: an analysis based on daily rainfall data. Climate, 2(4), 242-263. https://doi.org/10.3390/cli2040242

Daily rainfall totals are analyzed for the main agro-climatic zones of Sri Lanka for the period 1976–2006. The emphasis is on daily rainfall rather than on longer-period totals, in particular the number of daily falls exceeding given threshold totals...

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...

On the importance of very long-term water quality records (2014)
Journal Article
Burt, T., Howden, N., & Worrall, F. (2014). On the importance of very long-term water quality records. Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Water, 1(1), 41-48. https://doi.org/10.1002/wat2.1001

This overview is concerned with the value of long-term records of water quality in river basin management. In a world where change rather than stasis is increasingly the norm, monitoring is an essential way to discover whether there are significant u...
