| Description | A Professional Project report submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Water Resources, Water Resources Program, University of New Mexico. Warming temperatures, reduced precipitation, and earlier snowmelt are predicted for the mountains of the southwestern U.S due to climate change. In addition, interannual variability in precipitation, partially linked to the El Niño-Southern Oscillation phenomenon (ENSO), also will impact stream-flow and ecosystem processes. Wholestream metabolism was modeled using continuous data for selected time periods ranging from 2005 to 2012. This eight-year study explores temporal trends in... |
