Streams draining Mount Rainier connect cold glacier-fed headwaters with a wider river network whose temperatures vary across space and time. This study models water temperature in the White River Basin to describe those patterns and examine how stream-network relationships can inform estimates at places without direct measurements.
Andrew S. Gendaszek, Anya C. Leach, and Kristin L. Jaeger explain the basin setting, temperature observations, predictor information, and statistical stream-network methods. Maps and model results show how local environmental conditions and connected stream locations contribute to the thermal picture. The report also discusses the limits of the available observations and the interpretation of model estimates.
First released in 2025 and revised in May of that year, the complete USGS report includes its methods, results, references, and original illustrations. Its cover shows the White River headwaters and Emmons Glacier in a National Park Service photograph.
