The water quality samples are done being analyzed! Team member Alice Hill has put together some preliminary graphs and thoughts on her website.

Here is an excerpt-- go to this link (https://mountainadventurescience.wordpress.com/maranon/) to read more

"Isotope results of river samples, processed by the Kiowa Lab at CU-Boulder, provide insight into the source of river flow. The plot below shows how the river flow transitions from a high elevation mountain system where snow and ice play a major role to a lower lying river with rain dominated flow. (Defining source waters is important because climate change impacts snow and ice differently than rain, so the long-term impact to river flow depends on the specific combination of source waters.)
