Martijn Westhoff is a PhD student at the Water Resources Section, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands. His major research objective is to investigate when connectivity occurs on a hillslope: Which threshold should be passed before connectivity occurs and certain runoff processes become active? He uses Distributed continuous distributed temperature observations as a tracer to address these objectives. The researchmpresented at the EGU 2008 focuses on the interpretation of temporal temperature fluctuations of lateral inflows in a first order stream.
