Quantifying rates of climate change in mountain regions is of considerable interest, not least
because mountains are viewed as climate “hotspots” where change can anticipate or …

Hydroclimatic changes associated with global warming over the past 50 years have been
documented widely, but physical landscape responses are poorly understood thus far …

Western United States wildfire increases have been generally attributed to warming
temperatures, either through effects on winter snowpack or summer evaporation. However …

Several very large high‐impact fires burned nearly 4,000 km2 of mesic forests in western
Oregon during September 7–9, 2020. While infrequent, very large high‐severity fires have …

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 …

Interannual variability of mountain snowpack has important consequences for ecological
and socioeconomic systems, yet changes in variability have not been widely examined …

Context In western US forests, the increasing frequency of large high-severity fires presents
challenges for society. Quantifying how fuel conditions influence high-severity area is …

The character and causes of elevation-dependent warming (EDW) of surface temperatures
are examined in a suite of high-resolution (km) regional climate model (RCM) simulations of …

Augmenting previous papers about the exceptional 2011–2015 California drought, we offer
new perspectives on the “snow drought” that extended into Oregon in 2014 and Washington …

Simulations from 35 global climate models (GCMs) in the Coupled Model Intercomparison
Project Phase 5 provide projections of 21st century climate in the Columbia River Basin …
