Abstract In coniferous western forests, recent widespread tree mortality provided
opportunities to test the long-held theory that forest cover loss increases water yield. We …

The temporal evolution of seasonal snow cover and its spatial variability in environments
such as mountains, prairies or polar regions is strongly influenced by the interactions …

In the last two decades, airborne laser scanning (ALS) has found widespread application
and driven fundamental advances in the Earth sciences. With increasing availability and …

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 …

Twenty-five years ago, we published a global seasonal snow classification now widely used
in snow research, physical geography, and as a mission planning tool for remote sensing …

The critical zone (CZ), the dynamic living skin of the Earth, extends from the top of the
vegetative canopy through the soil and down to fresh bedrock and the bottom of the …

Evaluating landscape ecological sensitivity in estuarine areas is important for providing
reference for landscape optimization and ecological conservation, however, the …

Wildfire area has been increasing in most ecoregions across the western United States,
including snow-dominated regions. These fires modify snow accumulation, ablation, and …

The retrieval of detailed, co‐located snow depth and canopy cover information from airborne
lidar has advanced our understanding of links between forest snow distribution and canopy …

Isotopic information from 81 snowpits was collected over a 5‐year period in a large,
Colorado watershed. Data spans gradients in elevation, aspect, vegetation, and seasonal …
