Hydro-Kansas project explores spatial statistical power laws in floods, testing the hypothesis that self-similarity of channel networks underpins power laws. Led by a team including Vijay Gupta and Hari Rajaram, the study conducts empirical diagnosis of predicted power laws at the hillslope-link scale. Collaborating institutions are University of Colorado, University of Iowa, USGS, DOE ACRF, and University of New Mexico.
