1.
Hale K, Jennings K, Musselman K, Livneh B, Molotch N
Commun Earth Environ . 2024 Apr; 4(1):170. PMID: 38665199
Mountain snowpacks act as natural water towers, storing winter precipitation until summer months when downstream water demand is greatest. We introduce a Snow Storage Index (SSI), representing the temporal phase...

Knowles J, Bjarke N, Badger A, Berkelhammer M, Biederman J, Blanken P, et al.
Sci Total Environ . 2023 Apr; 880:163260. PMID: 37028665
Insect outbreaks affect forest structure and function and represent a major category of forest disturbance globally. However, the resulting impacts on evapotranspiration (ET), and especially hydrological partitioning between the abiotic...

Gaiser E, Kominoski J, McKnight D, Bahlai C, Cheng C, Record S, et al.
Ecosphere . 2022 May; 13(4):e4019. PMID: 35573027
The period of disrupted human activity caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, coined the "anthropause," altered the nature of interactions between humans and ecosystems. It is uncertain how the anthropause has...

Musselman K, Addor N, Vano J, Molotch N
Nat Clim Chang . 2021 May; 2021. PMID: 33968161
In many mountainous regions, winter precipitation accumulates as snow that melts in spring and summer, providing water to one billion people globally. Climate warming and earlier snowmelt compromises this natural...

Barnard D, Knowles J, Barnard H, Goulden M, Hu J, Litvak M, et al.
Sci Rep . 2018 Dec; 8(1):17973. PMID: 30568298
Growing season length (GSL) is a key unifying concept in ecology that can be estimated from eddy covariance-derived estimates of net ecosystem production (NEP). Previous studies disagree on how increasing...

Jennings K, Winchell T, Livneh B, Molotch N
Nat Commun . 2018 Mar; 9(1):1148. PMID: 29559636
Despite the importance of precipitation phase to global hydroclimate simulations, many land surface models use spatially uniform air temperature thresholds to partition rain and snow. Here we show, through the...

Hart S, Veblen T, Schneider D, Molotch N
Ecology . 2017 Jul; 98(10):2698-2707. PMID: 28752623
This study used Landsat-based detection of spruce beetle (Dendroctonus rufipennis) outbreak over the years 2000-2014 across the Southern Rocky Mountain Ecoregion to examine the spatiotemporal patterns of outbreak and assess...

Fyfe J, Derksen C, Mudryk L, Flato G, Santer B, Swart N, et al.
Nat Commun . 2017 Apr; 8:14996. PMID: 28418406
Peak runoff in streams and rivers of the western United States is strongly influenced by melting of accumulated mountain snowpack. A significant decline in this resource has a direct connection...

Molotch N, Barnard D, Burns S, Painter T
Water Resour Res . 2016 Dec; 52(9):7513-7522. PMID: 27917006
The distribution of forest cover exerts strong controls on the spatiotemporal distribution of snow accumulation and snowmelt. The physical processes that govern these controls are poorly understood given a lack...
