From Field to Film: Measuring “missing snow”

This news story by Julia Davis highlights recent findings from researchers at the University of Washington’s Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering who explored the role of snow sublimation in understanding why a healthy snowpack sometimes fails to become a comparable spring river flow. As an accompaniment to this research and as part of the Sublimation of Snow project, AGCI also recently completed the production of a short 6-minute documentary “Snow Science: A Season of Fieldwork and Discovery” (watch now by clicking on the image above), which invites you along to experience the challenges and joys of field research and scientific discovery.
