Colorado River flow dwindles as warming-driven loss of reflective snow energizes evaporation
This article shows that the decrease in Colorado River flow is due mainly to increased evapotranspiration caused by a reduction of albedo from snow loss.Read More →

The fingerprint of anthropogenic climate change is apparent in river flow and hydrological extremes at the global scale.Read More →
Increasing importance of temperature as a contributor to the spatial extent of streamflow drought
The authors conclude that continued global warming may further increase drought extents, requiring adaptation of regional drought management strategies.Read More →
Increased outburst flood hazard from Lake Palcacocha due to human-induced glacier retreat
The retreat of Palcaraju glacier cannot be explained by natural variability alone, as human-induced warming equals between 85 and 105% (5–95% confidence interval) of the observed 1 °C warming in this region.Read More →
