Important Takeaways:
- Wildfires are burning away the West’s snow
- Researcher Stephanie Kampf’s team set out to determine whether more wildfires are burning at high elevations. The answer is unequivocally yes. And the consequences are dramatic: Snow in wildfire-burned areas is melting 18 to 24 days earlier than average.
- The snowpack is critical… it contributes 20% to 90% of surface water used for agriculture, energy production, aquatic species habitat and more.
- “What this study shows nicely is that fires are moving into places that we would think of as being more resistant because they’re cooler and wetter”
- The study also found that snow in burned areas contains less water
- Downstream water managers might need to prepare for an earlier melt-off that will contribute to reservoirs much earlier than needed.
