Potential economic benefits of adapting agricultural production systems to future climate change Potential economic benefits of adapting agricultural production systems to future climate change
Potential economic impacts of future climate change on crop enterprise net returns and annual net farm income (NFI) are evaluated for small and large representative farms in Flathead Valley in Northwest Montana. Crop enterprise net returns and NFI in an historical climate period (1960–2005) and future climate period (2006–2050) are compared when agricultural production systems (APSs) are...

A practitioner's tool for assessing glide crack activity A practitioner's tool for assessing glide crack activity
Glide cracks can result in full-depth glide avalanche release. Avalanches from glide cracks are notoriously difficult to forecast, but are a reoccurring problem in a number of different avalanche forecasting programs across a range of snow climates. Despite this, there is no consensus for how to best manage, mitigate, or even observe glide cracks and the potential resultant avalanche...

Characterizing wet slab and glide slab avalanche occurrence along the Going-to-the-Sun Road, Glacier National Park, Montana, USA Characterizing wet slab and glide slab avalanche occurrence along the Going-to-the-Sun Road, Glacier National Park, Montana, USA
Wet slab and glide slab snow avalanches are dangerous and yet can be particularly difficult to predict. Both wet slab and glide slab avalanches are thought to depend upon free water moving through the snowpack but are driven by different processes. In Glacier National Park, Montana, both types of avalanches can occur in the same year and affect the Going-to-the-Sun Road (GTSR). Both wet...

Using GIS and Google Earth for the creation of the Going-to-the-Sun Road Avalanche Atlas, Glacier National Park, Montana, USA Using GIS and Google Earth for the creation of the Going-to-the-Sun Road Avalanche Atlas, Glacier National Park, Montana, USA
Snow avalanche paths are key geomorphologic features in Glacier National Park, Montana, and an important component of mountain ecosystems: they are isolated within a larger ecosystem, they are continuously disturbed, and they contain unique physical characteristics (Malanson and Butler, 1984). Avalanches impact subalpine forest structure and function, as well as overall biodiversity...

Mass balance of a cirque glacier in the U.S. Rocky Mountains Mass balance of a cirque glacier in the U.S. Rocky Mountains
Glacier National Park, Montana, USA, contains 27 cirque glaciers, most less than 1 km2 and together comprising about 17 km2. These glaciers lie at relatively low elevation (2000 – 3000 m a.s.l.) and latitude (48o N) and have undergone dramatic retreat since the mid-nineteenth century, when an estimated 150 glaciers existed. Continuing volume losses and the disappearance of glaciers in...

Response of western mountain ecosystems to climatic variability and change: The Western Mountain Initiative Response of western mountain ecosystems to climatic variability and change: The Western Mountain Initiative
Mountain ecosystems within our national parks and other protected areas provide valuable goods and services such as clean water, biodiversity conservation, and recreational opportunities, but their potential responses to expected climatic changes are inadequately understood. The Western Mountain Initiative (WMI) is a collaboration of scientists whose research focuses on understanding and

Modeling the biophysical impacts of global change in mountain biosphere reserves Modeling the biophysical impacts of global change in mountain biosphere reserves
Mountains and mountain societies provide a wide range of goods and services to humanity, but they are particularly sensitive to the effects of global environmental change. Thus, the definition of appropriate management regimes that maintain the multiple functions of mountain regions in a time of greatly changing climatic, economic, and societal drivers constitutes a significant challenge
