The Big Picture: Combining Watershed Computer Models With Historical Tree-Ring Data

 

Insight on long-term changes of stream flow is critical for addressing implications of global warming on sustainable water management, especially in the semi-arid western USA. This project will apply a watershed model with tree-ring derived precipitation and air temperature to generate stream flow data that covers events before man started measuring.  Read More...
