- Paper was first to show that global warming is causing significant long-term reduction in available water resources in snow-dominated regions. More than 2 billion people worldwide depend on this water. Featured in BBC news (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-27486002), request from US Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation for further information. First author received a prize for conference presentation (https://www.abtanet.org.uk/awards/dra-2016). Multiple invited presentations at international conferences (AGU 2013, EGU 2014) on this material. Web of Science lists it as highly-cited paper (top 1% of its cohort). As a consequence, multiple international research groups are now investigating physical mechanisms causing this reduction in streamflow.
