Runoff from Snow in the West
A new study estimates that over 50% of the runoff in the western US comes from snowmelt, yet snowfall makes up only 37% of total precipitation.
Mountain Snow Declines Past and Future
Two studies examine Pacific Northwest snowpack under climate change.
Putting the Sensitivity Approach into Practice for WW2100
A new research method could help scientists and even resource managers jump computational hurdles. It’s been put to the test in the Willamette Water 2100 project.
A New Approach to Tracking Hydrologic Responses to Climate Change
Rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns are leading to major shifts in when and how streamflows occur. But deciphering how climate change might affect any given watershed can be both time-consuming and expensive. Now a new study focusing on the Pacific Northwest offers a quick, inexpensive alternative to traditional climate downscaling and hydrologic modeling. The…
PUMA Helps Water Utilities Innovate and Adapt
Putting climate science into action at the local level isn’t easy. That’s because when it comes to climate adaptation, climate scientists and resource managers aren’t always on the same page. Putting the results of global climate models to work for local watersheds and reservoirs can also be challenging. These are some of the conclusions from…
