Modeling the Hydrology of Climate Change in Californias Sierra Nevada for Subwatershed Scale Adaptation
...Published in JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association
The rainfall-runoff model presented in this study represents the hydrology of 15 major watersheds of the Sierra Nevada in California as the backbone of a planning tool for water resources analysis including climate change studies. Our model implementation documents potential changes in hydrologic metrics such as snowpack and the initiation of snowm...

A Method to Consider Whether Dams Mitigate Climate Change Effects on Stream Temperatures
Published in JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association
This article provides a method for examining mesoscale water quality objectives downstream of dams with anticipated climate change using a multi-model approach. Cold-water habitat for species such as trout and salmon has been reduced by water regulation, dam building, and land use change that alter stream temperatures. Climate change is an addition...
Management of the Spring Snowmelt Recession in Regulated Systems
Published in JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association
In an effort to restore predictable ecologically relevant spring snowmelt recession flow patterns in rivers regulated by dams, this study defined a methodology by which spring flow regimes can be modeled in regulated systems from the quantifiable characteristics of spring snowmelt recessions in unregulated rivers. An analysis of eight unregulated r...
Hydropower Relicensing and Climate Change
Published in JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association
Hydropower represents approximately 20\% of the world\textquoterights energy supply, is viewed as both vulnerable to global climate warming and an asset to reduce climate-altering emissions, and is increasingly the target of improved regulation to meet multiple ecosystem service benefits. It is within this context that the recent decision by the Un...
