项目摘要
Snowpack is a vital water resource in the West, but little is know about its variation beyond the past 60 years. Vegetation and lake level studies from the Rocky Mountains indicate significant changes in precipitation regimes, including changes in snowpack, during the past 11,000 years. In order to examine the patterns of precipitation change in the past, and to provide long-term context for understanding present and future changes, this doctoral dissertation research project aims to quantify millennial-scale changes in seasonal precipitation patterns over the Holocene and their relation to ecological changes at several sites across the West. Multiple lines of independent evidence from fossil pollen, hydrogen and oxygen isotopes, and lake sediment stratigraphies will be used to reconstruct past moisture, vegetation and fire regime gradients. A survey of modern lake water isotopic values across a gradient of seasonal precipitation regimes will provide a baseline for understanding the sensitivity of lake isotopic budgets to changes in seasonal contributions of precipitation. This baseline will be used to calibrate a hydrologic model that includes lake water and isotopic budgets that will aid in quantifying paleoclimatic records of snowpack. Water budgets, informed by past lake-level data, will determine estimates of overall moisture availability. Isotopic budgets will inform estimates of the contributions of seasonal precipitation to lake-water volume, and of the amount of evaporation. By investigating variations in the spatial patterns of seasonal precipitation over the past 11,000 years in the Rocky Mountains, we will examine the linkages between snowpack change, atmospheric circulation, ecotone shifts, and fire regimes. Annual snowpack is the largest reservoir of fresh water in the West, study results will be especially crucial for evaluating water resources and the possible effects of future climate change in the West. Research sites span key spatial gradients in modern precipitation to investigate the stability of these gradients over time in order to provide a context for understanding recent changes in spatial and volumetric distribution of snowpack in the West. Study results will also evaluate the potential effect of snowpack changes on forest distributions and wildfire regimes. Because the Holocene contains periods of different El-Nino frequency and intensity than today and periods that were likely warmer than today, studying Holocene snowpack distribution may reveal insight into the potential for future changes and their ecological effects. As a Doctoral Dissertation Improvement award, this project will enable a strong student to develop a promising and independent career.
Snowpack是西方重要的水资源,但对过去60年以来的变化知之甚少。 洛矶山脉的植被和湖泊水平的研究表明,在过去的11,000年中,包括积雪的变化在内的降水状态发生了重大变化。 为了检查过去的降水变化模式,并为理解当前和未来变化提供了长期背景,该博士学位论文研究项目旨在量化全新世季节性降水模式的千禧年量表变化及其与西方几个地点生态变化的关系。 化石花粉,氢和氧同位素以及湖泊沉积物地层的多种独立证据将用于重建过去的水分,植被和火灾状态梯度。 对一系列季节性降水梯度的现代湖水同位素值的调查将为理解湖泊同位素预算对季节性降水贡献的变化的敏感性提供基准。 该基线将用于校准包括湖水和同位素预算在内的水文模型,该模型将有助于量化积雪的古气候记录。过去的湖泊水平数据得出的水预算将确定整体水分可用性的估计。同位素预算将为估计季节性降水对湖水体积的贡献以及蒸发量的贡献。 通过研究过去11,000年来落基山脉的季节性降水空间模式的变化,我们将研究积雪变化,大气循环,ecotone偏移和火灾状况之间的联系。 一年一度的积雪是西方最大的淡水水库,研究结果对于评估水资源以及西方未来气候变化的可能影响至关重要。研究地点涵盖了现代降水中的关键空间梯度,以研究这些梯度随时间的稳定性,以便为了解西部积雪的空间和体积分布的最新变化提供背景。研究结果还将评估积雪变化对森林分布和野火制度的潜在影响。 由于全新世包含与今天不同的埃尔尼诺频率和强度的时期,并且可能比今天更温暖的时期,因此研究全新世积雪分布可能会揭示人们对未来变化及其生态影响的潜力的见解。作为博士学位论文改进奖,该项目将使一名强大的学生能够发展有前途和独立的职业。
