Thank you to everyone who stopped by my poster at the 91st Annual Western Snow Conference. The past few days in Corvallis have been filled with insightful & inspiring snow-related presentations!

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to tag along with the #UNR Mountain Geography course on their field trip to @UCB_CSSL !

It was a beautiful day to talk #snowscience & learn more about the amazing work @snow_d0c + team are doing!

Thanks to everyone who contributed to making my first #AGU such a fantastic experience! I'm incredibly thankful for the opportunity to establish connections, both new and familiar, within the snow hydro community❄️

Friday recap at #AGU23: great job @glacialeek @FittsAlly MikeyR @el_cobbs @HydroHan @have_shovel. Thanks to all who visited our talks, posters, & @DRIScience booth this week. See you at #AGU24 next year in Washington DC!! #NevadaWater #gphs @unrcabnr @UNRScience @UNRGradSchool

We’re enjoying blue sky! It’s lunchtime at Yerba Buena Park in between sessions at #AGU23

[Ally Fitts @FittsAlly]

Looking forward to #AGU23 in San Francisco next week! I will discuss variations in post-fire snow albedo across scales of observation in support of the NASA SnowEx Snow Albedo Project during the Friday morning poster session! #snowhydrology @theAGU @nevada_water

[CUBoulderENVS @CUBoulderENVS]

See Dr. Peyton Thomas in action!! You're an inspiration!

Yesterday, Hannah Lukasik (@HydroHan) sampled the Truckee River for #microplastics near Lake Tahoe in support of her #NSFGRFP funded graduate research. @DRIScience #GPHS #MasterStudent #hydrology

A hazy start to the day this morning thanks in part to smoke & haze transport overnight from the Quarry Fire in Tuolumne Co. For the latest air quality readings across the region please visit AirNow: https://t.co/7HmjoMaBGN

Today I had the opportunity to stop by the #CaldorFire burn area with visiting @PNNLab scientists. It was a pleasure to discuss environmental extremes & #UAS applications.

I am excited to be adding a #UAS component to my graduate research! #snowhydrology #drones @UNRScience

"Recent decreases in snow water storage in western North America" is out today:

Here we develop a new metric for evaluating the storage of water in the snowpack as a function of the timing and magnitude of precipitation relative to water availability.

That’s a wrap on a successful week in Fairbanks, AK supporting the 2023 NASA SnowEx Snow Albedo campaign. Grateful for clear skies & a stellar field crew(+ new friends). To be continued! #snowhydrology #SnowEx #NASA_ABoVe

A sunny & successful field day in the #caldor fire burn area! #snowscience

A few of my favorites from this past week at @CUAHSI Snow Measurement Field School. Big thank you to @CUAHSI @NASA @SnowInternatio1 & @UTSnowHydro + team for a great week! #snowscience
