She and her colleagues use two different sets of historic tree ring records to reconstruct 500 years of climate history, blue oak tree rings as a proxy for winter

precipitation, and another set of rings from a variety of trees as a proxy for winter temperatures.

The tree ring data made it possible to model Sierra Nevada snowpack going back to the year

1500, and the researchers found that today's snowpack is just 5% of its average level over the last five centuries.

The findings in the journal Nature Climate Change.

Commershri says that the decline in snowpack is a big deal in a place like California with its Mediterranean-like climate.

You can think about it as a water bank that can be used later in the spring and in the summer
