| Notes | This article is about the correlations and cross-connections between different environmental indices, and how they can be better used to understand environmental conditions in a changing climate. The authors used 43 freshwater, marine and climate indices to examine 72 river sites in Washington, Oregon, California and Idaho. “As the climate continues to change, it becomes more evident that maintaining a mindset encompassing static processes limits our abilities to explain patterns among environmental indices. This recognition in the context of multiple climatic teleconnections will help foster the development and utility of more resilient methodological approaches that account for changing correlations” (p.17). This is an open-access article. |
