Rebecca Brice, PhD
Becky Brice is an earth systems geographer using tree rings and lake sediments to study paleclimate, hydroclimatic processes, and the interaction between the climate and human systems. She specializes in dendrochronological reconstructions over the Common Era and her research aims to understand the role of climate variability in changing water resources.

Status: Active Past Perspectives of Water in the West
In the intermountain west, seasonal precipitation extremes, combined with population growth, are creating new challenges for the management of water resources, ecosystems, and geologic hazards. This research contributes a comprehensive long-term context for a deeper understanding of past hydrologic variability, including the magnitude and frequency of drought and flood extremes and ecosystem...
