Collaborative Research: Shifting Snow, Changing Flow--Quantifying Warming-Induced Seasonal — NSF Award to University of Tennessee

Accumulation of snowpack and the timing of the melt in the mountains that feed the Columbia River Basin change both the timing of spring flood risks and the risk of drought in summer and fall.

AbstractAccumulation of snowpack and the timing of the melt in the mountains that feed the Columbia River Basin change both the timing of spring flood risks and the risk of drought in summer and fall. These changes in streamflow impact ecosystems, including salmon migration and reproduction, and challenge water management for agriculture and the property and livelihoods of populations in the Basin. Information about the range of streamflow variability and changes through time are valuable for water mana
