A marginal snowpack is a recent concept that refers to snow cover that is relatively shallow
and transient but still has important environmental and socioeconomic functions. This class …

Globally there is already a lot of pressure on water resources because of climate change,
economic development, as well as an increasing global populace. Many rivers originate in …

The seasonal evolution of snow cover has significant impacts on the hydrological cycle and
microclimate in mountainous regions. However, snow processes also play a crucial role in …

Boreal and sub-alpine forests host seasonal snow for multiple months per year; however,
snow regimes in these environments are rapidly changing due to rising temperatures and …

Snow interacts with its environment in many ways and thus has a highly heterogeneous
spatial and temporal variability. Therefore, modeling snow variability is difficult, especially in …

In the boreal forest, winter temperatures are projected to increase substantially by 2100,
resulting in a reduction in snow cover thickness and duration. These changes are likely to …

Forest thinning and gap creation are being implemented across the western United States of
America (USA) to reduce wildfire and forest mortality risk as the climate warms. The Eastern …

In the boreal forest of eastern Canada, winter temperatures are projected to increase
substantially by 2100. This region is also expected to receive less solid precipitation …

The spatiotemporally continuous data of normalized difference snow index (NDSI) are key to
understanding the mechanisms of snow occurrence and development as well as the …

The reliability of seasonal snow cover information is constrained by limitation of in situ
observations and uncertainties in remote sensing data and model simulations in alpine …
