Projections of Potential Flood Regime Changes in California
(2009-03)
Floods have been a recurring theme in California’s climatology, hydrology, and politics
throughout its history. Today, California's aging water supply and flood protection
infrastructures are challenged by major floods ...
Detection and Attribution of Streamflow Timing Changes to Climate Change in the Western United States
(2009-07)
This article applies formal detection and attribution techniques to investigate the nature of observed shifts in the timing of streamflow in the western United States. Previous studies have shown that the snow hydrology ...
Climate Change, Growth, and California Wildfire
(2009-03)
Large wildfire occurrence and burned area are modeled using hydroclimate and landsurface characteristics under a range of future climate and development scenarios. The range of uncertainty for future wildfire regimes is ...
Detection and Attribution of Temperature Changes in the Mountainous Western United States
(2008-04-22)
Large changes in the hydrology of the western United States have been observed since the mid-twentieth century. These include a reduction in the amount of precipitation arriving as snow, a decline in snowpack at low and ...
Structure and Detectability of Trends in Hydrological Measures over the Western United States
(2009-08)
This study examines the geographic structure of observed trends in key hydrologically relevant variables across the western United States at ⅛° spatial resolution during the period 1950–99. Geographical regions, latitude ...
Human-Induced Changes in the Hydrology of the Western United States
(2008-02-22)
Observations have shown that the hydrological cycle of the western United States changed significantly over the last half of the 20th century. We present a regional, multivariable climate change detection and attribution ...
Potential increase in floods in California’s Sierra Nevada under future climate projections
(2011-12)
California’s mountainous topography, exposure to occasional heavily moisture-laden
storm systems, and varied communities and infrastructures in low lying areas make it highly
vulnerable to floods. An important question ...
Climate change scenarios and sea level rise estimates for California 2008 Climate Change Scenarios Assessment
(2009-03)
For the 2008 California Climate Change Assessment, to further investigate possible future
climate changes in California, a set of 12 climate change model simulations was selected and
evaluated. From the Intergovernmental ...
Climate change and growth scenarios for California wildfire
(2011-11)
Large wildfire occurrence and burned area are modeled using hydroclimate and landsurface characteristics under a range of future climate and development scenarios. The range of uncertainty for future wildfire regimes is ...
Attribution of Declining Western U.S. Snowpack to Human Effects
(2008-12-01)
Observations show snowpack has declined across much of the western United States over the period 1950–99. This reduction has important social and economic implications, as water retained in the snowpack from winter storms ...
