DOI: 10.1002/2016jd025351
Abstract: Seasonal snowpacks accumulate impurities derived from atmospheric aerosols and trace gases throughout the winter and release them during snow melt. Previous field and laboratory studies have shown that a snowpack can lose up to 80%… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.70302
Abstract: Climate change is reducing snowpack across temperate regions with negative consequences for human and natural systems. Because forest canopies create microclimates that preserve snowpack, managing forests to support snow refugia—defined here as areas that remain… read more here.

Projecting 21st century snowpack trends in western USA mountains using variable-resolution CESM
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Climate Dynamics"
DOI: 10.1007/s00382-017-3606-0
Abstract: Climate change will impact western USA water supplies by shifting precipitation from snow to rain and driving snowmelt earlier in the season. However, changes at the regional-to-mountain scale is still a major topic of interest.… read more here.
