Anthropogenic climate change is decreasing seasonal snowpacks globally, with potentially
catastrophic consequences on water resources, given the long-held reliance on snowpack …

Abstract Background Wildfires in the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and
western Montana, USA) have been immense in recent years, capturing the attention of …

Mountain snowpacks act as natural water towers, storing winter precipitation until summer
months when downstream water demand is greatest. We introduce a Snow Storage Index …

Climate change is altering the seasonal accumulation and ablation of snow across mid-
latitude mountainous regions in the Northern Hemisphere with profound implications for the …

Hydrologic signatures are metrics that quantify aspects of streamflow response. Linking
signatures to underlying processes enables multiple applications, such as selecting …

Climate projections indicate that the Northwest (NW) will experience temperature increases
in both cool and warm seasons and a reduction in summer precipitation with increases in fall …

Worldwide, lack of data on stream temperature has motivated the use of regression-based
statistical models to predict stream temperatures based on more widely available data on air …

Complex hydroclimate in the United States and Canada has limited identification of possible
ongoing changes in streamflow. We address this challenge by classifying 541 stations in the …

Summer streamflow is an important water resource during the dry summers in the western
United States, but the sensitivity of summer minimum streamflow (low flow) to antecedent …

Changes in climate are driving an intensification of the hydrologic cycle and leading to
alterations of natural streamflow regimes. Human disturbances such as dams, land-cover …
