DOI: 10.1007/s00382-019-04633-3
Abstract: Recently-developed Holocene lake-level reconstructions from the Rocky Mountains offer a quantitative target for testing the skill of state-of-the-art climate system models in simulating hydroclimate change. Here, we use a combination of hydrologic models of catchment… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2021.109566
Abstract: Abstract Sampling bias and autocorrelation can lead to erroneous estimates of habitat selection, model overfitting and elevated omission rates. We developed a multi-scale habitat suitability model of the flammulated owl (Psiloscops flammeolus) in the Northern… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/qua.2020.21
Abstract: Abstract Many formerly glaciated valleys in the western United States preserve detailed glacial features that span the penultimate glaciation through the last deglaciation; however, numerical age control is limited in many of these systems. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020gl090371
Abstract: Hydrologic processes have been shown to influence seismic productivity in many regions around the world, especially on active plate boundaries. To examine the influence of hydrologic loading cycles on seismicity in intraplate regions, we investigate… read more here.
