Abstract
The is a two-level study that first evaluates future climate changes (2051-2075 minus 1981-2005) over the Rockaway sub-basin in Northern New Jersey based on multiple high resolution (4km) bias-corrected and spatially downscaled climate scenarios. Second, we use the downscaled climate scenarios to drive a duly calibrated surface water-groundwater hydrological model to assess the impact of climate change on river flows in the basin. Our results demonstrate the importance of using realistic finer-scale climate scenarios to obtain a reliable envelope of future flows in an integrated fashion at the local and watershed scales.
