Climate Change is Rewriting the Hydroclimatic Operating Envelope of Mines

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Climate change is shown to shift the hydroclimatic operating envelope of mines: 16.2% of represented mine locations have already changed Köppen subtype, rising to 42.5% by late century under SSP5‐8.5. Divergent water trajectories are filtered through geology, infrastructure and lifecycle stage, indicating that adaptation requires monitored, scenario ...

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.
