  • Assessing the Role of Snow Cover for Regenerating Forests over Post-wildfire Landscapes in the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Wilson, Andy C.
    Abstract:
    Forested, mountain landscapes in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are changing at an unprecedented rate, largely due to shifts in the regional climate regime. Documented climatic trends across the PNW include increasing wildfire frequency and intensity and an increasingly ephemeral snowpack, especially at moderate elevations. One relationship that has yet to...

  • Post-fire vegetation response to snow in the western United States

    Creator:
    Blauvelt, Katie
    Abstract:
    The western United States is experiencing significant changes in wildfire and snow regimes as a result of warming temperatures. An amplification of wildfire activity and reduction in snow water equivalent, snow covered area, and earlier spring snowmelt are documented trends that are projected to continue into the future. With an...

  • Forest Fire Effects on Radiative and Turbulent Fluxes over Snow : Implications for Snow Hydrology

    Creator:
    Gleason, Kelly E.
    Abstract:
    As a result of a warming climate, subsequent declining snowpack, and a century of fire suppression, forest fires are increasing across the western United States. However, we still do not fully understand how forest fire effects snowpack energy balance, nor the volume and availability of snow melt and associated water...

  • A method for remotely monitoring glaciers with regional application to the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Medley, Brooke
    Abstract:
    An integrative method for monitoring glacier geometry change and mass balance is presented and applied to the Pacific Northwest, USA. Acting as a baseline for interpretation of future changes in glacier size and shape, we first derive a new inventory of regional glacier cover using remotely sensed data. To investigate...

  • Understanding the impact of climate change on snowpack extent and measurement in the Columbia River Basin and nested sub basins

    Creator:
    Brown, Aimee Lyn
    Abstract:
    Shifting climate patterns in the Columbia River basin are affecting snow pack, and, as a result, stream flow throughout the region. In the Oregon Cascades, ever growing populations, and their associated activities, place increasing stress on an already over allocated hydrologic system. Political pressures, including the possibility of renegotiation or...

  • Evaluation of Deforestation in the Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve, Honduras

    Creator:
    Wade, Michael C.
    Abstract:
    Satellite imagery has been a useful tool in monitoring land cover changes, including changes within protected areas. In the 1980’s and 1990’s Honduras created over 100 protected areas, yet few resources have been dedicated to their management. This study used Landsat satellite imagery to evaluate deforestation in the Río Plátano...
