Biography
Bryce researches the effects of ongoing climate change and increasing water demand on the temperature regimes of the Colorado River in Grand Canyon and the Green River in the upper basin. His work focuses on the use of process-based hydrologic models that account for individual heat fluxes that drive river warming or cooling. The goal of his research is to assess and identify management strategies for the Colorado River Basin that can meet water demand and environmental goals under future climate change scenarios.
