Field of Study
I'm exploring the effects of climate indices in snowpack variations in the Rocky Mountain region, using statistical climate analysis. I'm looking to determine the cause and effect of these indices have in the snow melt rates, to help clarify if there's an actual decline in snowpack and assess the impacts in water supply across western United States.
The image depicts the main indices involved in the climatic variations in Western US.
