Glacier change in a basin of the Peruvian Andes and implications for water resources

Creator:

Burns, Patrick J.

Abstract:

Declines in glacier area and volume are widespread. These changes will have important hydrologic consequences since glaciers store tremendous amounts of fresh water and buffer seasonally low flows in many densely populated regions. In this thesis I focus on a region that is hydrologically vulnerable to glacier change, namely the...

New Metrics, Modeling Applications, and Observational Strategies for Snowpacks in Remote, Data-Limited, Mountain Environments

Creator:

Crumley, Ryan L.

Abstract:

The topics in this dissertation center on the snow processes that dominate mountain environments in the Western U.S. and Alaska, particularly in locations lacking long-term observational datasets or locales that are difficult to access in-person. Some are currently glacierized or have been glaciated in the recent past. Each of the...
