The Southwest Climate Adaptation Science Center supports conservation and management of the Southwest’s natural resources and cultural heritage by building partnerships between scientists and decision-makers, fostering development of research products to inform decisions, and assisting American Indian communities in adapting to climate change in the southwestern United States. Our vision it to help to maintain and sustain the Southwest’s unique biodiversity, its ecosystems’ diverse contributions to human welfare, and its diverse cultures, [both indigenous and adventitious,] as the region’s climate undergoes change in the coming years and decades. The SW CASC is hosted by the University of Arizona. Other consortium...

The Colorado River provides water to 40 million people in the southwestern United States. Consistent water level declines in Colorado River Basin reservoirs have focused research attention on the long-term changes in winter precipitation and the timing of snowmelt and runoff. Research on how warming temperatures affect winter precipitation and spring snowmelt is ongoing, however, less attention has been given to changes in spring and summer precipitation which also affects water supply, plant growth, and competition between native and non-native plants, and, in turn affects wildfire dynamics and wildlife habitat. The amount and timing of summer precipitation is largely influenced by variation in the North American...
