California Department of Water Resources (DWR) | September 5th, 2017

Summary

Water year 2016 ended up being different than expected, from a climate standpoint. Water year 2015 marked the 4th year of drought in California, ending with record high t

Hydroclimate Report Water Year 2017

California Department of Water Resources (DWR) | August 1st, 2018

Summary

Water year (WY) 2017 began with lingering impacts from a severe and prolonged drought mitigated slightly by the previous WY. Expectations were uncertain for the W

Hydroclimate Variability in Snow-fed River Systems

American Meteorological Society (AMS) | June 25th, 2019

Summary

Snow-fed river system communities are highly sensitive to climate change because the majority of their water supply is derived from snow. A warmer climate shift

Increasing elevation of fire in the Sierra Nevada and implications for forest change

Ecological Society of America (ESA) | July 23rd, 2015

Summary

Fire in high‐elevation forest ecosystems can have severe impacts on forest structure, function and biodiversity. Using a 105‐year data set, we found increasing elevat

Indicators of Climate Change in California

California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) | May 16th, 2018

Summary

From record temperatures to proliferating wildfires and rising seas, climate change poses an immediate and escalating threat to California’s environment, public health,

Influence of temperature and precipitation variability on near-term snow trends

Climatic Change (Springer) | October 17th, 2014

Summary

Snow is a vital resource for a host of natural and human systems. Global warming is projected to drive widespread decreases in snow accumulation by the end of the century

Interactions between snow cover and evaporation lead to higher sensitivity of streamflow to temperature

Nature Portfolio (Springer Nature) | December 4th, 2020

Summary

Estimates of potential evaporation often neglect the effects of snow cover on evaporation process. Here, we present a definition of potential evaporation that explicitly

Investigating the Role of Snow Water Equivalent on Streamflow Predictability during Drought

American Meteorological Society (AMS) | October 20th, 2022

Summary

Snowpack provides the majority of predictive information for water supply forecasts (WSFs) in snow-dominated basins across the western United States. Drought conditions t

Is climate change implicated in the 2013-2014 California drought? A hydrologic perspective

American Geophysical Union (AGU) | April 21st, 2015

Summary

California has experienced severe drought in 2012–2014 (which appears to be continuing into 2015), with especially low winter precipitation and mountain snowpack in wi
