A study directed by Daniele Tonina, an ecohydraulics professor at the University of Idaho, finds that spawning areas for Chinook salmon in Bear Valley Creek are disappearing due to slower rivers and lower water levels.
Humans may be up and playing in the snow all winter, but many other mammals are hibernating or going into a dormant state of torpor. Climate change could affect how they do that, though.
The McClure Center for Public Policy Research took widely accepted climate change scenarios and asked what they could mean for Idaho industries such as agriculture, energy and recreation.
