Research Learning Experiences (RLEs)
● Maine winters are changing rapidly, associated with changes in climate.
● These climate-linked changes are implicated in flooding, changes in snowpack, and changes in flow regimes in Maine.
● In this study, four different regions in Maine were analyzed to evaluate changes over time in snowpack, river ice, fall-through-spring precipitation,February Snowpack water equivalent

Questions and Hypotheses
-
How has the timing of peak flow changed over time? ○ Hypothesis: Peak flow has moved earlier in the spring due to a warming climate melting snow earlier.
-
How has the variation of flow changed over time?
○ Hypothesis: Flow has grown more
variable in more recent years due to an increase in more variable precipitation patterns, especially in the spring months.
