Seeking Post Doctoral Scholar at University of Vermont: Stormwater Management Adaptations to Climate Change

We seek a postdoctoral researcher with interest in stormwater, climate change, and how communities are adapting their stormwater management strategies (e.g., green stormwater infrastructure, design standards) to changing precipitation and temperature patterns. The postdoctoral researcher will be a key contributor to a new USGS-funded research project working with communities in …

New paper! Assessment of hydrological parameter uncertainty versus climate projection spread on urban streamflow and floods

I’m super excited to share that recent PhD graduate Zia Ul Hassan published his first paper, and it’s a big one. The effects of climate change will continue to intensify over the coming decades, with bigger and more intense rainstorms. In urban watersheds, that means more stormwater reaching urban streams, …

New paper: Seasonal versus transient snow and the elevation dependence of climate sensitivity in maritime mountainous regions

Jefferson, A. 2011. Seasonal versus transient snow and the elevation dependence of climate sensitivity in maritime mountainous regions, Geophysical Research Letters, 38, L16402, doi:10.1029/2011GL048346. Abstract: In maritime mountainous regions, the phase of winter precipitation is elevation dependent, and in watersheds receiving both rain and snow, hydrologic impacts of climate change …
