Alpine areas are experiencing faster rates of warming due to climate change than lowland regions, and this warming leads to earlier snowmelt. Early snowmelt and warming temperatures pose threats to ...

April 20 (UPI) --Farmers across the western half of the United States rely on snowmelt to irrigate their crops, but new research suggests snowmelt will become increasingly unreliable as Earth's ...

In mountainous regions, warmer air temperatures have led to an earlier onset of spring snowmelt and lower snowmelt rates because snow melts at a slower rate earlier in the year when the net turbulent ...

Changes in growing season temperature and duration may have profound effects on the population dynamics of arctic and alpine plant species in snow-bed and fell-field habitats. We examined how a ...

The effects of a “snow drought” are still plaguing parts of the West, after a stretch of warm, dry weather last month accelerated the season’s snowmelt, federal meteorologists reported. While ...

Researchers are exploring the changing chemistry of the Arctic's atmosphere to help answer the question of what happens as snow and ice begin to melt. Researchers at the University of Alaska Fairbanks ...

The US Army Corps of Engineers are preparing to use the Isabella dam’s service spillway to release water for the first time since 1983 in order to handle expected water level rise from snowpack melt.

After a winter of record snow and rain, California is dealing with the Big Melt. As temperatures warm, the snowpack is melting and flowing into rivers and streams. All that water has both good and ...

“We don’t expect a whole lot of rain. The nice thing is it’s a cool air mass as well, so that will temper some of the snowmelt as well,” Whitmore said. “Projections are brought down for the crests, ...
