A brief summary of Eric Sproles' dissertation research.
Modeling Basin Scale Snow Water Equivalent: Present Day and Projected Future Impacts On Stream Flow in the Oregon Cascades
The specific objectives of the research are: a) quantify basin-wide distribution of Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) for the
McKenzie River watershed under current and future projected climate scenarios;
b) quantify snowpack contributions to streamflow in the upper reaches of the
McKenzie River and determine how these inputs would change under future climate
scenarios; c) design, develop, and test the effectiveness of an
innovative graphical analysis tool for decision makers and other end users in
watershed management and education.
This research is funded by a Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant from the National Science Foundation.
Initial funding for this research was provided by the Institute for Water and Watersheds at Oregon State University and the ASPRS chapter at Oregon State University.
