| Title | Predicting thermal vulnerability of stream and river ecosystems to climate change |
| Creator | Hill, R. A. Hawkins, Charles P. Cutler, D. R. |
| Description | We use a predictive model of mean summer stream temperature to assess the vulnerability of USA streams to thermal alteration associated with climate change. The model uses air temperature and watershed features (e.g., watershed area and slope) from 569 US Geological Survey sites in the conterminous USA to predict stream temperatures. We assess the model for predicting climate-related variation in stream temperature by comparing observed and predicted historical stream temperature changes.... |
