Michael Dettinger1, Phil Pasteris2, Dan Cayan1, and Tom Pagano2 1 US Geological Survey, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, CA 2 Natural Resources Conservation Service, Portland, OR Spring 2004 broke many historical records in the western US with its early start and severe snowpack losses (Pagano et al., 2004); remarkably, the spring of 2006 was something of a replay of those events in the interior West, with significant impacts on streamflow in the Colorado and Platte Basins. Once again lack of precipitation and warm temperatures combined to turn reasonable expectations of near average runoff into disappointment. Across much of the western US (excepting mostly Arizona and New Mexico), snowpacks were more abundant than normal on April 1, 2006. However, in April and May unusually warm and dry weather throughout much of the interior West reduced snowpacks dramatically and hastened the onset of spring by as many as three weeks. Most of Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana were in their warmest historical deciles (10%; >+1ºC above normal throughout the region) during April and May. At the same time, Colorado and large parts of the surrounding states were in the driest historical decile or quartile (<75% and <50% of normal April and May precipitation throughout this part of the re- gion). The result was a reduction of snowpacks from near-normal conditions on April 1, to less than about 75% of normal by May 1, and even less by June 1, in much of the interior West (Fig. 1). Snow sublimated, evaporated, and melted without much replen- ishment under this climatic onslaught, and the normal springtime Figure 1.

Thus, in the interior West, conditions moved quickly and unexpectedly from winter to summer; in the coastal states, the winter to summer transition was quick but late. In both cases, spring was all but missing. Most notably, the similarities between the early and dessicating spring of 2006 in the interior West and the westwide record-breaking early and dessicating spring of 2004, just two years previous, raise concerns that we have entered a climatic phase in which, for whatever reasons, spring- time conditions have been “temporally compressed,” resulting in reduced overall yield of western watersheds when compared to the historical record. The potential for such a shift in the influence of springtime climate on western water supplies challenges traditional models and monitoring systems to capture rapid changes in springtime snowpacks that are influenced by a combination of very warm Figure 2.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Southern California Climate and Vegetation Over the Past 125,000 Years from Lake Sequences in the San Bernardino Mountains A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography by Katherine Colby Glover 2016 © Copyright by Katherine Colby Glover 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Southern California Climate and Vegetation Over the Past 125,000 Years from Lake Sequences in the San Bernardino Mountains by Katherine Colby Glover Doctor of Philosophy in Geography University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Glen Michael MacDonald, Chair Long sediment records from offshore and terrestrial basins in California show a history of vegetation and climatic change since the last interglacial (130,000 years BP). Vegetation sensitive to temperature and hydroclimatic change tended to be basin-specific, though the expansion of shrubs and herbs universally signalled arid conditions, and landscpe conversion to steppe. Multi-proxy analyses were conducted on two cores from the Big Bear Valley in the San Bernardino Mountains to reconstruct a 125,000-year history for alpine southern California, at the transition between mediterranean alpine forest and Mojave desert. Age control was based upon radiocarbon and luminescence dating. Loss-on-ignition, magnetic susceptibility, grain size, x-ray fluorescence, pollen, biogenic silica, and charcoal analyses showed that the paleoclimate of the San Bernardino Mountains was highly subject to globally pervasive forcing mechanisms that register in northern hemispheric oceans. Primary productivity in Baldwin Lake during most of its ii history showed a strong correlation to historic fluctuations in local summer solar radiation values.

  • The High Deccan Duricrusts of India and Their Significance for the 'Laterite
    The High Deccan duricrusts of India and their significance for the ‘laterite’ issue Cliff D Ollier1 and Hetu C Sheth2,∗ 1School of Earth and Geographical Sciences, The University of Western Australia, Nedlands, W.A. 6009, Australia. 2Department of Earth Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, Powai, Mumbai 400 076, India. ∗e-mail: [email protected] In the Deccan region of western India ferricrete duricrusts, usually described as laterites, cap some basalt summits east of the Western Ghats escarpment, basalts of the low-lying Konkan Plain to its west, as well as some sizeable isolated basalt plateaus rising from the Plain. The duricrusts are iron-cemented saprolite with vermiform hollows, but apart from that have little in common with the common descriptions of laterite. The classical laterite profile is not present. In particular there are no pisolitic concretions, no or minimal development of con- cretionary crust, and the pallid zone, commonly assumed to be typical of laterites, is absent. A relatively thin, non-indurated saprolite usually lies between the duricrust and fresh basalt. The duricrust resembles the classical laterite of Angadippuram in Kerala (southwestern India), but is much harder. The High Deccan duricrusts capping the basalt summits in the Western Ghats have been interpreted as residuals from a continuous (but now largely destroyed) laterite blan- ket that represents in situ transformation of the uppermost lavas, and thereby as marking the original top of the lava pile. But the unusual pattern of the duricrusts on the map and other evidence suggest instead that the duricrusts formed along a palaeoriver system, and are now in inverted relief.

  • On the Glaciology of Edgegya and Barentsgya, Svalbard
    On the glaciology of Edgegya and Barentsgya, Svalbard JULIAN A. DOWDESWELL and JONATHAN L. BAMBER Dowdeswell J. A. & Bamber. J. L. 1995: On the glaciology of Edgeoya and Barentsoya, Svalbard. Polar Research 14(2). 105-122. The ice masses on Edgeoya and Barentsdya are the least well known in Svalbard. The islands are 42-47% ice covered with the largest ice cap, Edge0yjokulen. 1365 km2 in area. The tidewater ice cliffs of eastern Edgedya are over 80 km long and produce small tabular icebergs. Several of the ice-cap outlet glaciers on Edgeoya and Barentsoya are known to surge, and different drainage basins within the ice caps behave as dynamically separate units. Terminus advances during surging have punctuated more general retreat from Little Ice Age moraines, probably linked to Twentieth Century climate warming and mass balance change. Airborne radio-echo sounding at 60 MHz along 340 km of flight track over the ice masses of Edgeoya and Barentsldya has provided ice thickness and elevation data. Ice is grounded below sea level to about 20 km inland from the tidewater terminus of Stonebreen. Ice thickens from <lo0 rn close to the margins, to about 250 m in the interior of Edgeeiyj~kulen.The maximum ice thickness measured on Barentsjokulen was 270111. Landsat MSS images of the two islands, calibrated to in-band reflectance values, allow synoptic examination of snowline position in late July/early August. Snow and bare glacier ice were identified. and images were digitally stretched and enhanced. The snowline was at about 300111 on the east side of Edgeoyjbkulen, and 50-100 m higher to the west.

  • Determinants of Fire Regime Variability in Lower Elevation Forests of The
    Determinants of fire regime variability in lower elevation forests of the northern Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem by Jeremy Scott Littell A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Land Resources and Environmental Science Montana State University © Copyright by Jeremy Scott Littell (2002) Abstract: Understanding how multivariate influences on fire regime cause changes in the spatio-temporal distribution of fire regimes and fire events is critical to the management of forest ecosystems. Climatic change, land-use change, and changes in vegetation patterns during the 20th century in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem have been documented, and understanding the past fire history of the ecosystem is necessary to gauge uncertainty and opportunity surrounding management decisions. Previous research in Greater Yellowstone has primarily focused on slow-growing forests with fire return intervals of approximately 200-400 years. Relatively little research has focused on lower elevation forests with shorter fire return intervals. I produced three 400-year dendrochronologically precise fire histories in biophysically similar but geographically separate watersheds in northern Greater Yellowstone. The watersheds are primarily composed of lower elevation Douglas-fir (.Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests with smaller components of lodgepole pine {Pirns contortd), subalpine fir {Abies lasiocarpa), Engelmann spruce {Picea engelmannii), and limber pine {Pirns flexilis).
