Climate Change and Oregon’s Water Future

Creator:: Campana, Michael E.
Abstract:: The specter of climate change looms large over Oregon. Although hydroclimatologic models predict a warmer Oregon, the total volume of precipitation may not change significantly. However, the character (rain vs. snow) and spatial and temporal distributions of precipitation will likely change. The state is already witnessing earlier snowmelt in the...

Climate Warming, Soil Moisture Dynamics, and Water Budget Partitioning: Experimental Results from a Willamette Valley Ecosystem

Creator:: Pangle, Luke, Gregg, Jillian, and McDonnell, Jeffrey
Abstract:: There is reasonable expectation that climate warming will accelerate the hydrologic cycle, resulting in greater evapotranspiration (ET) and reduced groundwater recharge (R) (or stream flow). Though qualitatively intuitive, quantifying these potential shifts in water budget partitioning is a contemporary challenge in hydrology, because the linkage between ET and R is...
