Intern Showcase: Snow data comparisons
In summer of 2022, intern Lauran Garcia investigated the relationship between snow depth and snow water equivalent (SWE) in the Roaring Fork Valley by comparing SNOTEL and satellite data.

“Learning” frontiers in the energy transition
How quickly we reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions critically depends on how fast we learn in the process. New research uses learning curves to explain staggering declines in costs of key climate technologies like solar photovoltaics and batteries, grounding hopes that we can get where we need to go—as long as we don’t delay getting started.
Intern Showcase: Soil moisture across the landscape
This overview provides a summary of results from a project mapping soil moisture across a subset of the landscape for each site in the Roaring Fork Observation Network (iRON).
Strength in numbers: Collaborating on the Colorado River in a changing climate
More than ever, a sustainable future for the Colorado River basin depends on collaborative efforts and trust.
Our imaginations can help create new climate possibilities
In this Yale Climate Connections article, AGCI's James Arnott and Energy Innovation Policy & Technology LLC®'s Sarah Spengeman explore how humans’ capacity to imagine can help create new and more hopeful climate realities and boost citizen engagement.

Sublimation of Snow (SOS) Project
Snow sublimation, the process through which snow turns directly from a solid to a gas (water vapor) without first melting, may remove up to 90% of snowpack from the ground, but the process is not well understood. The goal of the SOS project is to improve and communicate fundamental scientific understanding of when, where, and how much snow is lost the atmosphere through sublimation.
Listening to the lived experience of climate resilience
Over three years, I visited over 70 coastal communities to ask people about their experience with climate change. My interview partners reshaped my understanding of climate resilience.
Distilling the key factors that drive social acceptance of ocean renewable energy
Many US coastal states are looking to the prospect of ocean renewable energy (ORE), particularly offshore wind, to help meet ambitious emissions reduction goals. Social science offers insight into who supports or opposes ORE and why, and suggests actions that could help promote a more just transition to ORE.
