While the impacts of long-term climate change trends on glacier hydrology have received much attention, little has been done to quantify direct glacier runoff contributions to streamflow. This paper presents an approach for determining glacier runoff contributions to streamflow and estimating the effects of increased temperature and decreased glacier area...
Floods are the most frequent natural disaster, causing more loss of life and property than any other in the USA. Floods also strongly influence the structure and function of watersheds, stream channels, and aquatic ecosystems. The Pacific Northwest is particularly vulnerable to climatically driven changes in flood frequency and magnitude,...
A key challenge for resource and land managers is predicting the consequences of climate warming on streamflow and water
resources. During the last century in the western United States, significant reductions in snowpack and earlier snowmelt have led
to an increase in the fraction of annual streamflow during winter and...
