SC2 Completed Research
Completed research includes books or book chapters, white papers, reports, journal articles, and other documents that Skagit Climate Science Consortium (SC2) scientists have written describing their completed research efforts in the Skagit.
Definitions that describe the scientific review processes for the various types of reports can be found here. Not all completed SC2 research documents are available on this site. If you would like further information that you cannot find, please contact Carol MacIlroy or one of the scientists.
The Climate Impacts Group at the University of Washington has an extensive and searchable database that includes papers and other documents about climate change broader than the Skagit Basin and is an excellent resource.
