Ocean Temperatures Do Not Account for a Record-Setting Winter in the U.S. West

Atmosphere
The record-setting winter of 2022–2023 came as an answer to both figurative and literal prayers for political leaders, policy makers, and water managers reliant on snowpacks in the Upper Colorado River Basin, a vital source of water for tens of millions ...

Remotely Sensed Surface Water Storage Shows Distinct Patterns From SWAT‐Simulated Data

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Quantifying and projecting the downstream benefits of water stored in lakes and wetlands (SWstorage) requires watershed hydrologic models, which often parameterize surface water storage in topographic depressions using static digital elevation model (DEM) data.

Fresher Streams After a Prolonged Drought in Victoria, Australia

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Salinity in waterways changes throughout the year due to interactions between more saline groundwater and fresher surface water as runoff changes seasonally and with rainfall events. Droughts have recently been shown to cause persistent shifts in rainfall runoff partitioning, and here we examine whether stream salinity also exhibits such ...

Monitoring Change in Floodplain Vegetation Due To River Restoration Treatments With Remote Sensing in the Intermountain West

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract River corridors are essential to life, but have been subjected to centuries of alteration, disconnection, and simplification. Process‐based river restoration has increased in recent years, with the goals of reversing degradation and reestablishing natural processes. Our objectives are twofold: (a) qualify the historic, ecologic, and geomorphic

Baseflow and snowmelt sustained streamflow in the Upper Colorado River Basin, 1986–2020

Environmental Research: Water
The Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB) faces substantial water availability limitations. Although most streamflow originates as snowmelt, the partitioning of snowmelt between surface runoff and groundwater recharge and subsequent groundwater discharge to ...

Estimates of sublimation in the Upper Colorado River basin

, 2013
Snowpack stored in mountain environments is the primary source of water for the population of much of the western United States, and the loss of water through direct evaporation (sublimation) is a significant factor in the amount of runoff realized from snow melt.

Wind Energy Futures: Which Locations Across the Western U.S. Are Most Resilient to Environmental Change?

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Wind energy is central to the energy transition, but its reliance on atmospheric conditions makes long‐term resource planning vulnerable to environmental change. Earth System Model projections suggest uneven regional change, yet coarse resolution limits infrastructure planning in complex terrain, and few multi‐model assessments are validated ...

Erosional and Hydrological Controls on the Age and Thermochemical Stability of Particulate Organic Carbon in an Arctic River

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Understanding the mechanisms that drive the mobilization and fate of organic carbon (OC) in Arctic landscapes is important for modeling the feedbacks among permafrost thaw, carbon cycling, and climate change. While significant progress has been made toward measuring in situ OC decomposition in permafrost soils and bulk particulate organic ...

Bayesian inference of historical streamflow changes suggests further stress in the Colorado River Basin

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: Colorado River Basin (CRB), North America Study focus: Bayesian inference is used to analyze long-term streamflow in the CRB. Key parameters describing long-term hydroclimatic changes are integrated into a state-space model (SSM).
