Colorado River Basin could see more intense heat, drought

.... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... The Animas River in Farmington is part of the Colorado River Basin system, which could see increases in concurrent extreme climate events, such as heat waves, droughts and flooding, experts say. (Anthony Jackson/Albuquerque Journal) Copyright © 2021 Albuquerque Journal Climate change is projected to increase such simultaneous extreme events as heat waves, droughts and flooding across the massive Colorado River Basin, according to new research from a Los Alamos National Laboratory hydrologist. “The way that humans and our human systems are going to experience climate change is through extreme events,” said hydrologist Katrina E. Bennett. “Slow changes in temperature are noticeable in ecology, but a flood or a drought or a heat wave is really a very big shock to our system.”

The Animas River in Aztec, NM Hydrologist Katrina Bennett describes extreme weather events like droughts and floods as the way that human societies experience climate change. These events are immediately noticeable and can have rippling impacts, including economic repercussions. These events will become more frequent and intense amid climate change, according to a paper Bennett published in the journal Water on April 1. Bennett’s co-authors include Carl Talsma and Riccardo Boero, who also work at Los Alamos National Laboratories. The study highlights the need to look at the extreme events together. Their research focused on the Colorado River Basin. The findings were in line with other research, however she said the team took a unique approach.
