Fire, Flood, And Drought: Extreme Climate Events Alter Flowpaths And Stream Chemistry

Murphy , Sheila 1 1 U.S. Geological Survey Extreme climate events– such as hurricanes, droughts, extreme precipitation, and wildfires– have the potential to alter watershed processes and stream response. Yet due to the destructive and hazardous nature and unpredictability of such events, capturing their hydrochemical signal is challenging. A five-year...

Toward Improved Reservoir Management Via Hydrologic Uncertainty Quantification

Kasprzyk , Joseph 1 1 ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ Due to climatic and land use change, water managers are increasingly interested in the influence of uncertainty in their systems. Current hydrologic forecasting frameworks often consider variable initial conditions to represent a range of potential conditions, and use statistical models to...

Simulating The Nonlinear Response Of Alpine And Subalpine Snowpacks To Climate Warming

Jennings , Keith S 1 ; Molotch , Noah P 2 1 ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ 2 ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ It is well known that climate warming invokes nonlinear responses in snow accumulation and melt within the seasonal snow zone. Previous research has shown that higher, colder sites are...
