Response of snow-dependent hydrologic extremes to continued global warming
Snow accumulation is critical for water availability in the Northern Hemisphere, raising concern that global warming could have important impacts on natural and human systems in snow-dependent regions. Although regional hydrologic changes have been observed, the time of emergence of extreme changes in snow accumulation and melt remains a key unknown for assessing climate-change impacts.
