Winter melt trends portend widespread declines in snow water resources
In many mountainous regions, winter precipitation accumulates as snow that melts in the
spring and summer, which provides water to one billion people globally. Climate warming …

Legacy, rather than adequacy, drives the selection of hydrological models
The findings of hydrological modeling studies depend on which model was used. Although
hydrological model selection is a crucial step, experience suggests that hydrologists tend to …
