Spatio-temporal patterns and trends in MODIS-retrieved radiative forcing by snow impurities over the Western U.S. from 2001 - 2022

Creator:

Jensen, Anna S.

Abstract:

Seasonal mountain snowpack of the western US (WUS) is a key water resource to millions of people. Impurities at the snow surface directly affect snowmelt timing and rate, as they contribute to earlier peak streamflow, snow disappearance, and less water availability in dry months. Predicting the locations, timing, and intensity...

Canopy Effects on the Snow Hydrology of a Forested Mountain Environment in the Pacific Northwest, USA

Creator:

Roth, Travis R.

Abstract:

Rising global temperatures are having lasting effects on mountain snow environments in the form of diminishing snowpacks, shorter accumulation seasons, and shifts in meltwater timing. Seasonal snowpack is a vital source of water for natural and human systems. In the forested mountain landscapes of the Pacific Northwest seasonal snowmelt feeds...

Modeling Forest Response to Changing Climate Conditions in Western North America

Creator:

Hawkins, Linnia R.

Abstract:

Forests play an integral role in the global carbon cycle, regulating the atmospheric CO₂ concentration by sequestering nearly one third of anthropogenic carbon emissions and storing carbon for centuries. Forest ecosystems are integrated into the culture, ecology, and economy of western North America, supporting wildlife habitat, local economies, recreation, and...
