Dozier , Jeff 1 1 Donald Bren School of Environmental Science & Management, University of California at Santa Barbara In the 21st century, a crucial question for mountain snowpacks worldwide is: How do we reliably predict snowmelt runoff and associated demand as climate changes, populations grow, land use evolves, and...

Doesken , Nolan 1 1 Colorado State Climatologist and Senior Research Associate, Director, Fort Collins Weather Station Underlying most work in hydrologic science is a basic knowledge of climatic characteristics of precipitation -- the quantity, frequency, intensity, duration of precipitation as well as information on how precipitation varies geographically, seasonally,...

Blom , Tevis 1 1 University Colorado Â鶹ӰԺ April 1st Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) is a useful indicator of potential water resources along Colorado’s Front Range. This is especially so at altitude where snowpack serves as a seasonal storage reservoir. Climate change in the 20th century has the potential to...
