My PhD research included geologic mapping and measurements of surface water and groundwater in the largest peatland in the Sierra Nevada, USA. The measurements show groundwater dominating the water budget in the 2nd half of the growing season. The mapping and measurements alone do not offer much insight to other areas or have much regional significance. The manuscript is similar to site specific studies published by agencies such as USGS, Forest Service, etc.  However, I cannot find a journal that publishes site specific studies like this one.  Any suggestions?

I have a second manuscript that uses indirect inversion to estimate parameters for a watershed scale numerical model.  The calibrated model is used to address the hydrologic response to changes in precipitation.  I am also working on a third manuscript that uses geostatistics to quantify changes in cover for two bryophyte species over 5 years.  These two papers will need to cite the first paper for information.  The first paper is 8,000 words long and cannot be reduced significantly without losing information, so combining it with one of the other papers is not possible.
