Changes in Snow Hydrology After a Severe Wildfire
(2022)Most freshwater in the western United States used for agriculture, municipalities, and industrial consumption originates from headwaters in snow-dominated watersheds. During the winter months, snowpacks serve as natural ... -

Characterizing Spatial and Temporal Variability of Snow Water Equivalent Using Pressure Sensors
(2016)The goal of this study is to characterize spatial variability of snow water equivalent (SWE) at the meter scale. The study includes measurement of SWE with a new pressure sensor and use of meteorological sensor data to ... -

Forest cover controls variability of net shortwave radiation and snow albedo in a mountain watershed
(2020)Snow albedo regulates the surface energy budget of snow-covered regions which governs snowmelt processes, this makes snow albedo a critical parameter for climate models. Spaceborne and airborne remote sensing measurements ... -

How Future Hyperspectral Satellite Spectrometer Systems Can Improve Fractional Snow-covered Area and Grain Size
(2018)The impact of a declining and erratic seasonal mountain snowpack in North America and most of Eurasia may prove a detrimental hydrological, climatological, and environmental hazard as well as put a burden on those who rely ... -

Microbial Ecology, Biogeochemistry, and Signatures of Life at Low Temperature in Arctic Thermokarst Lake Sediments and High Sierra Snow Fields
(2015)The subjects of biological methane (CH4) production and microbial community diversity and structure in extreme cold environments were at the core of this dissertation. CH4 is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to the ... -

SKI SENSE, A METHOD FOR CLASSIFYING SNOW
(2022)The fields of snow science, snow sports, and surface classification rarely cross paths, however understanding the specific type of snow on a mountain has value to all of these industries. Understandingthe structure, quality, ...
