The thermal regime of rivers plays an important role in the overall health of aquatic
ecosystems, including water quality issues and the distribution of aquatic species within the …

The biosphere contains only 0.014% of Earth's water, distributed among lakes (0.008%),
soils (0.005%), and the atmosphere, rivers, and biota (0.001%)(79). An additional 2.58% of …

Aquifers contain the largest store of unfrozen freshwater, making groundwater critical for life
on Earth. Surprisingly little is known about how groundwater responds to surface warming …

Thermal regimes are fundamental determinants of aquatic ecosystems, which makes
description and prediction of temperatures critical during a period of rapid global change …

Large rivers constitute small portions of drainage networks but provide important migratory
habitats and fisheries for salmon and trout when and where temperatures are sufficiently …

Despite uncertainty in all levels of analysis, recent and long-term changes in our climate
point to the distinct possibility that greenhouse gas emissions have altered mean annual …

Mountain streams provide important habitats for many species, but their faunas are
especially vulnerable to climate change because of ectothermic physiologies and …

Air temperatures are sometimes used as substitutes for stream temperatures. To examine
the errors associated with this procedure, linear relationships between stream temperatures …

Climate change of the magnitude projected for the United States over the next 100 years will
cause significant changes to temperature regimes and precipitation patterns across the …

The region studied includes the Laurentian Great Lakes and a diversity of smaller glacial
lakes, streams and wetlands south of permanent permafrost and towards the southern extent …
