New study on changes to Arctic rivers

In a study published in the EGU journal The Cryosphere, Regime shifts in Arctic terrestrial hydrology manifested from impacts of climate warming, Ambarish Karmalkar and I investigated how water cycle intensification and permafrost thaw will continue to alter the Arctic’s terrestrial water cycle. We focused on future projection of the affects of climate warming and the associated manifestations on runoff and river discharge. We simultaneously published a piece in The Conversation that focuses on ecosystem impacts, described in language useful for broader audiences. The UMass news release has additional details on the published study.
