Abstract. This paper examines impacts of increased visitation leading to human trampling vegetation and soil along several trails in Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) understand how abiotic factors level use can influence trail conditions. RMNP is one the most visited national parks USA, with 3.3 million visitors 2012 across 1075 km2 571 km hiking trails. 95 % park designated wilderness, making balance between preservation visitor challenging. research involves application condition...
Abstract An unusual, high-alpine, rapid debris slide originating in ice-rich occurred on June 28, 2022, at 16:33:16 MDT the head of Chaos Canyon, a formerly glacier-covered valley Rocky Mountain National Park, CO, USA. In this study, we integrate eyewitness videos and seismic records event with meteorological data, field observations, pre- post-event satellite imagery, uncrewed aircraft vehicle imagery to characterize future hazards it may pose. Deformation eventual mass preceded failure by...
Abstract Reactive nitrogen (Nr) concentrations are higher than expected for mountain lakes in Rocky Mountain National Park, and many years, high Nr have been attributed to atmospheric deposition from regional more distant emission sources, including combustion of fossil fuels agricultural activities. Here, we estimated the contribution a very local source, that human urine, related intensive use by visitors Loch Vale Watershed (LVWS). Not only does urine convey hormones, pharmaceuticals,...
Visitation to national parks in the United States increased by an estimated 9,304,786 visitors from 2018 2019. This visitation has resulted negative impacts protected natural resources. Visitor use include contamination of surface waters with fecal waste which may contain pathogenic microorganisms. In this study we evaluated indicator bacteria approach and microbial source tracking as a park management tool (i) identify potential public health threats recreational water bodies; (ii)...
