Modeling and measuring snow for assessing climate change impacts in Glacier National Park, Montana Modeling and measuring snow for assessing climate change impacts in Glacier National Park, Montana
A 12-year program of global change research at Glacier National Park by the U.S. Geological Survey and numerous collaborators has made progress in quantifying the role of snow as a driver of mountain ecosystem processes. Spatially extensive snow surveys during the annual accumulation/ablation cycle covered two mountain watersheds and approximately 1,000 km2 . Over 7,000 snow depth and...

An elevational gradient in snowpack chemical loading at Glacier National Park, Montana: implications for ecosystem processes An elevational gradient in snowpack chemical loading at Glacier National Park, Montana: implications for ecosystem processes
The accumulation and melting of mountain snowpacks are major drivers of ecosystem processes in the Rocky Mountains. These include the influence of snow water equivalent (SWE) timing and amount of release on soil moisture for annual tree growth, and alpine stream discharge and temperature that control aquatic biota life histories. Snowfall also brings with it atmospheric deposition...

Application of snow models to snow removal operations on the Going-to-the-Sun Road, Glacier National Park Application of snow models to snow removal operations on the Going-to-the-Sun Road, Glacier National Park
Snow removal, and the attendant avalanche risk for road crews, is a major issue on mountain highways worldwide. The Going-to-the-Sun Road is the only road that crosses Glacier National Park, Montana. This 80-km highway ascends over 1200m along the wall of a glaciated basin and crosses the continental divide. The annual opening of the road is critical to the regional economy and there is...

Abiotic and biotic controls of spatial pattern at alpine treeline Abiotic and biotic controls of spatial pattern at alpine treeline
At alpine treeline, trees and krummholz forms affect the environment in ways that increase their growth and reproduction. We assess the way in which these positive feedbacks combine in spatial patterns to alter the environment in the neighborhood of existing plants. The research is significant because areas of alpine tundra are susceptible to encroachment by woody species as climate...
