Climate changes and their elevational patterns in the mountains of the world
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 …

Winter melt trends portend widespread declines in snow water resources
In many mountainous regions, winter precipitation accumulates as snow that melts in the
spring and summer, which provides water to one billion people globally. Climate warming …
