The model we will be using to simulate the effects of Mountain Pine Beetle infestation on snowmelt rates and stream discharges is the Distributed Hydrology Soil Vegetation Model (DHSVM). More information about DHSVM can be found at the website- http://www.hydro.washington.edu/Lettenmaier/Models/DHSVM/index.shtml
