Extreme Runoff Generation From Atmospheric River Driven Snowmelt During the 2017 Oroville Dam Spillways Incident
This study suggests that unusually warm temperatures during winter atmospheric river storms in the Western United States are associated with flood risk due to substantial rainfall and snowmelt. Read More →
Uncertainties in Climate and Weather Extremes Increase the Cost of Carbon
Climate change has myriad physical and economic impacts. This study argues that uncertainties in climate and weather extremes only further increase the social cost of carbon emissions.Read More →
