Looking to the Skies: Realising the Combined Potential of Drones and Thermal Infrared Imagery to Advance Hydrological Process Understanding in Headwaters (2022)
Journal Article
Dugdale, S. J., Klaus, J., & Hannah, D. M. (2022). Looking to the Skies: Realising the Combined Potential of Drones and Thermal Infrared Imagery to Advance Hydrological Process Understanding in Headwaters. Water Resources Research, 58(2), Article e2021WR031168. https://doi.org/10.1029/2021wr031168

In river systems, headwater networks contain the vast majority of the stream length. Thus, climate and land-use change in headwaters have disproportionate impacts on downstream ecosystems and societies that rely on them. Despite decades of hydrologic...

The Importance of Including Water Temperature Simulations in a 2D Fish Habitat Model for the St. Lawrence River (2021)
Journal Article

Extreme climatic conditions likely caused a massive fish mortality during the summer of 2001 in the St. Lawrence River. To corroborate this hypothesis, we used a physical habitat simulation approach incorporating hydraulic and water temperature model...

Thermal sensitivity of feeding and burrowing activity of an invasive crayfish in UK waters. Ecohydrology, 14(1), Article e2258. https://doi.org/10.1002/eco.2258

Climate change and invasive species are among the biggest threats to global biodiversity and ecosystem function. Although the individual impacts of climate change and invasive species are commonly assessed, we know far less about how a changing clima...

River temperature research and practice: Recent challenges and emerging opportunities for managing thermal habitat conditions in stream ecosystems (2020)
Journal Article

River temperature research and practice: Recent challenges and emerging opportunities for managing thermal habitat conditions in stream ecosystems. Science of the Total Environment, 736, Article 139679. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.139679

There is growing evidence that river temperatures are increasing under climate change, which is expected to be exacerbated by increased abstractions to satisfy human water demands. Water temperature research has experienced crucial advances, both in...

An evaluation of different forest cover geospatial data for riparian shading and river temperature modelling (2020)
Journal Article
Dugdale, S. J., Hannah, D. M., & Malcolm, I. A. (2020). An evaluation of different forest cover geospatial data for riparian shading and river temperature modelling. River Research and Applications, 36(5), 709-723. https://doi.org/10.1002/rra.3598

Riparian tree planting is increasingly being used as a strategy to shade river corridors and offset the impact of climate change on river temperature. Because the circumstances under which tree planting generates the greatest impact are still largely...

Mediterranean intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams: Challenges in monitoring complexity (2019)
Journal Article
Borg Galea, A., Sadler, J. P., Hannah, D. M., Datry, T., & Dugdale, S. J. (2019). Mediterranean intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams: Challenges in monitoring complexity. Ecohydrology, 12(8), Article e2149. https://doi.org/10.1002/eco.2149

In most cases, intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) form the principal surface water bodies in Mediterranean regions and people are heavily dependent on them. Strong reliance on such streams results in numerous pressures, and complex rela... Read More about Mediterranean intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams: Challenges in monitoring complexity.
