The Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy (ACCAP) will host a
webinar titled "Changing Extreme Streamflow Patterns in Boreal Forest
Watersheds of Alaska" on Tuesday, 23 June 2015 from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m.
AKDT. It will be presented by Katrina E. Bennett of Los Alamos National
Laboratory.
The Interior discontinuous permafrost zone of the boreal sub-Arctic
represents one of the largest ecosystems on earth and is vastly
understudied with respect to changing hydrologic extreme events. The
first part of this presentation will focus on recent research results
for snowmelt and glacially dominated Interior Alaska river basins for
the past 50/60 years (1954/64-2013).
The second part of this presentation will present projections of future
extreme streamflow changes in a snowmelt dominated basin of the Tanana
River, a sub-watershed to the Yukon River system, using six global
climate models, two emission scenarios, two hydrologic models and two
different time periods. Projections for temperature, precipitation and
streamflow will be discussed, with a focus on changing peak flows
events, and return intervals.
