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 …

A low-to-no snow future and its impacts on water resources in the western United States
Anthropogenic climate change is decreasing seasonal snowpacks globally, with potentially
catastrophic consequences on water resources, given the long-held reliance on snowpack …

A precipitation shift from snow towards rain leads to a decrease in streamflow
In a warming climate, precipitation is less likely to occur as snowfall,. A shift from a snow-
towards a rain-dominated regime is currently assumed not to influence the mean streamflow …

Hydrologic refugia, plants, and climate change
Climate, physical landscapes, and biota interact to generate heterogeneous hydrologic
conditions in space and over time, which are reflected in spatial patterns of species …

Snowmelt rate dictates streamflow
Declining mountain snowpack and earlier snowmelt across the western United States has
implications for downstream communities. We present a possible mechanism linking …

Recent decreases in snow water storage in western North America
Mountain snowpacks act as natural water towers, storing winter precipitation until summer
months when downstream water demand is greatest. We introduce a Snow Storage Index …

Rain or snow: hydrologic processes, observations, prediction, and research needs
The phase of precipitation when it reaches the ground is a first-order driver of hydrologic
processes in a watershed. The presence of snow, rain, or mixed-phase precipitation affects …
