Research Webinar: Consequences of Warming Winters on Nutrient Export to Lake Champlain
View a recording of this webinar.
Winter is now the fastest warming U.S. season. Winter rain and snowmelt are increasingly causing large, devastating floods that carry nutrients through watersheds and down rivers in winter when dormant vegetation cannot absorb them. As a result, winter runoff has transformed from rare or nonexistent to being far worse than other times of the year. Our recent work examines the potential and actual impact of warming winters on nutrient sources and export into surface waters in Vermont and beyond.
