Effects of Wildfire on Snow Water Resources Under Multiple Climate Conditions CART Case Study Handout

Wildfires reshape snow water resources in the Rio Grande. Using the SnowPALM model, researchers examined how climate change climate change
Climate change includes both global warming driven by human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. Though there have been previous periods of climatic change, since the mid-20th century humans have had an unprecedented impact on Earth's climate system and caused change on a global scale.

Learn more about climate change and forest disturbances affect snow water resources in the Rio Grande Basin, providing valuable insights for resource management and planning.
