Ebel , Brian A. 1 1 Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) Wildfire is one of the most prevalent disturbance events in the disturbance regime of mountainous terrain and can substantially impact hydrologic processes. Recent evidence suggests wildfire incidence, susceptibility, and synchrony are increasing in some regions. The...

Cody , Kelsey C 1 1 ²ÊÃñ±¦µä, Environmental Studies Program The central challenge facing municipal and industrial (M&I) water providers is to provide safe and reliable supplies of water. Two primary forces are converging on the American West, and on Colorado’s Front Range especially, that make it difficult for...

Schneider , Dominik 1 ; Molotch , Noah P. 2 1 INSTAAR 2 INSTAAR Snowmelt is the primary water source in the Western United States and mountainous regions globally. Forecasts of streamflow and water supply rely heavily on snow measurements from sparse observation networks that may not provide adequate information...

Raleigh , Mark S 1 1 National Center for Atmospheric Research Coniferous forest canopies play a significant role in seasonal snowpack development and land-atmosphere feedbacks. Depending on climate, storm dynamics, and forest characteristics, melt or sublimation of snow intercepted in the canopy may reduce snow water equivalence on the ground...
