On Sept. 18, University of Massachusetts (UMass) at Amherst researchers published a multi-factor analysis of climate- and land-cover-effects on watersheds across the United States. The study quantifies the connections between land use and the climatic variables of temperature and precipitation on runoff and flooding within watersheds at a larger scale than was previously available. Published […]
