1) Identify and map vulnerable and less vulnerable landscapes in the Pacific Northwest in terms of likely streamflow and related process response to warming; 2) test underlying assumptions about controls on streamflow response to warming, including effects of snow pack and groundwater dynamics; 3) evaluate magnitude of seasonal changes to streamflow regimes in relate to aquatic ecosystem requirements; and 4) analyze effects of vegetation changes on streamflow.
