Snowmelt - Streamflow relationships, Hydrologic Partitioning of Snowmelt, Forest water use Theodore Barnhart is looking at how changes in snowmelt timing and rate alter the balance between forest water use and streamflow. His research addresses essential questions, such as: (1) Does a snowpack that melts faster create more or less streamflow than a snowpack that melts more slowly? (2) How does the timing of snowmelt alter this balance? (3) Do different soil depths impact these relationships?
