Abstract
Changes in the timing and magnitude of snow melt and spring flows, as well as associated sediment mobilization, resulted from increases in temperature. Increases in discharge and sediment load resulted from increases in precipitation events exceeding the 95th percentile. In runs driven by WG weather data, positive trends were evident in peak (as well as annual) discharge and suspended sediment yields over the years modeled. No clear trends were seen in GCM-driven runs, which do not capture historically-observed trends in extreme precipitation. This work is consistent with other studies in that it shows important changes in discharge and sediment yields from a watershed resulting from ongoing changes in climate.
