An AI approach to operationalise global daily PlanetScope satellite imagery for river water masking (2023)
Journal Article
Valman, S. J., Boyd, D. S., Carbonneau, P. E., Johnson, M. F., & Dugdale, S. J. (2024). An AI approach to operationalise global daily PlanetScope satellite imagery for river water masking. Remote Sensing of Environment, 301, Article 113932. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2023.113932

Monitoring rivers is vital to manage the invaluable ecosystem services they provide, and also to mitigate the risks they pose to property and life through flooding and drought. Due to the vast extent and dynamic nature of river systems, Earth Observa... Read More about An AI approach to operationalise global daily PlanetScope satellite imagery for river water masking.

Combining Landsat TIR ‐imagery data and ERA5 reanalysis information with different calibration strategies to improve simulations of streamflow and river temperature in the Canadian Subarctic (2023)
Journal Article
Rincón, E., St‐hilaire, A., Bergeron, N. E., & Dugdale, S. J. (2023). Combining Landsat TIR ‐imagery data and ERA5 reanalysis information with different calibration strategies to improve simulations of streamflow and river temperature in the Canadian Subarctic. Hydrological Processes, 37(10), Article e15008. https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.15008

Arctic and Subarctic environments are among the most vulnerable regions to climate change. Increases in liquid precipitation and changes in snowmelt onset are cited as the main drivers of change in streamflow and water temperature patterns in some of...

Drought impacts on river water temperature: A process‐based understanding from temperate climates (2023)
Journal Article
White, J. C., Khamis, K., Dugdale, S., Jackson, F. L., Malcolm, I. A., Krause, S., & Hannah, D. M. (2023). Drought impacts on river water temperature: A process‐based understanding from temperate climates. Hydrological Processes, 37(10), Article e14958. https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.14958

High river water temperature (Tw) extremes have been widely reported during drought conditions as extreme low-flows often coincide with high atmospheric energy inputs. This has significant implications for freshwater ecosystem health and sustainable...

Closing the gap between science and management of cold‐water refuges in rivers and streams (2023)
Journal Article
Mejia, F. H., Ouellet, V., Briggs, M. A., Carlson, S. M., Casas‐Mulet, R., Chapman, M., …Torgersen, C. E. (2023). Closing the gap between science and management of cold‐water refuges in rivers and streams. Global Change Biology, 29(19), 5482-5508. https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.16844

Human activities and climate change threaten coldwater organisms in freshwater ecosystems by causing rivers and streams to warm, increasing the intensity and frequency of warm temperature events, and reducing thermal heterogeneity. Cold-water refuges... Read More about Closing the gap between science and management of cold‐water refuges in rivers and streams.

Analysis of Large-Scale Groundwater-Driven Cooling Zones in Rivers Using Thermal Infrared Imagery and Radon Measurements (2023)
Journal Article
Fakhari, M., Raymond, J., Martel, R., Drolet, J. P., Dugdale, S. J., & Bergeron, N. (2023). Analysis of Large-Scale Groundwater-Driven Cooling Zones in Rivers Using Thermal Infrared Imagery and Radon Measurements. Water, 15(5), Article 873. https://doi.org/10.3390/w15050873

The role of groundwater (GW) discharge on surface water (SW) quantity, quality and temperature is known to be important. Moreover, the effect of GW contributions to river thermal budgets is critical in natural rivers considering that water temperatur...
