The CZ is also the zone through which surface water/groundwater interactions take place.
Regolith Patterns Across Landscapes
Regolith follows topography: Boulder Creek CZO (Colorado)
Regolith is a mirror image of topography: Calhoun CZO (S. Carolina) Pond Branch (Maryland)
What causes these patterns?
Regolith Thickness: The Role of Lithology
• WyCEHG Impact: Lithology and geological structure are often ignored in models that predict soil/regolith thickness, but they can be the dominant factor.

Presentation Notes
This is discharge at the LIBB300 site for one year. The timing of snow melt is correct. The peak is mostly reasonable. If 3D forcing data are used, the discharge may be better.

Seismic Refraction Electrical Resistivity
Comparison with stream discharge at NONM100 site
Simulated discharge (magnitude and timing of peak flow) is sensitive to: • structural model & K of the unconsolidated
deposit and bedrock (geology!): 1st • DEM: 2nd • Land cover 3th
• Manning coefficient: 4rd Cases 1 & 9 parameter combinations appear to best fit the observed discharge.

Presentation Notes
We can see the change of discharge with changing manning coefficient, conductivity, land cover, structural model, and porosity. From these results, we see the simulated discharge is sensitive to: first : subsurface model and hydraulic conductivity. Second: DEM, third: land cover, fourth: manning coefficient. Cases 1 & 9 parameter combinations appear to best fit the observed discharge.
