Mountains are essential sources of freshwater for our world, but their role in global water resources could well be significantly altered by climate change. How well do we understand …
Abstract In the western United States, the seasonal phase of snow storage bridges between winter‐dominant precipitation and summer‐dominant water demand. The critical role of …
Despite the importance of precipitation phase to global hydroclimate simulations, many land surface models use spatially uniform air temperature thresholds to partition rain and snow …
In a warming climate, precipitation is less likely to occur as snowfall,. A shift from a snow- towards a rain-dominated regime is currently assumed not to influence the mean streamflow …
River flooding can have severe societal, economic, and environmental consequences. However, limited understanding of the regional differences in flood‐generating mechanisms …
Inferring the mechanisms causing river flooding is key to understanding past, present, and future flood risk. However, a quantitative spatially distributed overview of the mechanisms …

Thermal regimes in rivers and streams are fundamentally important to aquatic ecosystems and are expected to change in response to climate forcing as the Earth's temperature …
In western North America, snow provides crucial storage of winter precipitation, effectively transferring water from the relatively wet winter season to the typically dry summers. Manual …
