The historical and presettlement relationships between drought and wildfire are well
documented in North America, with forest fire occurrence and area clearly increasing in …

Identifying the effect of climate variability and human activities on runoff changes is
scientifically essential for understanding hydrological processes and sustainable water …

There is general consensus that projected warming will cause earlier snowmelt, but how
snowmelt rates will respond to climate change is poorly known. We present snowpack …

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

Thermal regimes in rivers and streams are fundamentally important to aquatic ecosystems
