Impacts of earlier snowmelt on fruiting phenology and seed success of Rocky Mountain wildflowers
Phenology, or the timing of biological events, has been found to shift in response to changing climates and key environmental cues such as spring temperatures and snowmelt date. These phenological shifts have been observed to be particularly extreme in mid-to-high latitude alpine environments, like

The role of snowmelt and subsurface heterogeneity in headwater hydrology of a mountainous catchment in Colorado: A model-data integration approach
Abstract Mountainous headwater streams are sustained by both snowmelt‐driven streamflow and groundwater discharge in the Upper Colorado River Basin. However, predicting headwater stream discharge magnitude and peak flow timing is challenging in mountainous terrains, where snowmelt rates vary with ve
Natural selection on floral volatiles and other traits can change with snowmelt timing and summer precipitation
Climate change is disrupting floral traits that mediate mutualistic and antagonistic species interactions. Plastic responses of these traits to multiple shifting conditions may be adaptive, depending on natural selection in new environments. We manipulated snowmelt date over three seasons (3-11 d ea
Modeling spatial distribution of snow water equivalent using transfer learning across mountainous basins
Abstract Accurately estimating snow water equivalent (SWE) is crucial for understanding the impacts of climate change, urbanization, and population growth on water resources. High operational costs of lidar observations limit the frequency and coverage of SWE estimates at high spatial resolutions, l
Scripts and data to produce figures for the SVS2 paper submitted to GMD
The Soil, Vegetation, and snow model version 2.0 (SVS2) is a land surface model developed by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) to be used in the context of land surface prediction. SVS2 is described in a manuscript submitted to GMD (https://egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/2025/eguspher
Colorado Cold-Air Pooling Maps and SNOTEL Station Classifications
This dataset contains maps of cold-air pooling (CAP) across Colorado at 100m resolution (Colorado_100m.nc) and the region surrounding the East River watershed, CO at 30m resolution (EastRiver_30m.nc). Classifications were determined using a Python implementation of the algorithm originally developed
Plant and carbon data, snowmelt manipulation experiment, Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL), 2023
These data are from a 2023 snowmelt manipulation experiment in Vera Meadow at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory. We experimentally advanced the snowmelt date in a montane meadow by approximately 12 days using black shade cloths and assessed the effect on plant and carbon dynamics. We measured
