Researcher studying Arctic and alpine snow: How much is there? Is there a lot? Let's find out!

[Fraser King @FraserTheKing]

With the #snowstorm coming today in southern Ontario, it goes to show how important accurate surface snow estimates are in the region! Check out our recent #CMOS bulletin post on the #ML work we are doing in this area

Want to help improve our estimates of snow? Our new #research article published in Cold Regions Science & Technology (#CRST) demonstrates how the #iPhone's LiDAR module can be used to remotely measure snow depth when attached to a #drone! ❄️📱📡

Accurate #snowfall estimates allow us to better predict springtime flooding and track fresh water availability in our communities. In our recently published paper, we examine how #machinelearning (ML) can be used to estimate snowfall from #radar data ❄️🛰️🤖https://t.co/tDe4eVMYsi

Citizen Science programs provide an opportunity for everyone (not just those in academia) to participate in the scientific process. We have just published a research article to IEEE showing how to use your Smartphone to measure snow! #science #snow #radar https://t.co/Za1j9v8Zbf

Welcome home. Love the detail and colours in this historic map of #Kitchener #Waterloo #Guelph and #Cambridge. If you are interested in picking up a copy, check out my website at https://t.co/CrCU8IQnwM

[Fraser King @FraserTheKing]

It always amazes me how much colour and detail is stored in this old maps. Even this inset is just packed with detail! #mapsbyfraser #historic #canada

[Fraser King @FraserTheKing]

Some of these resin combinations have quite the amazing colours! Love the way this one turned out #mapsbyfraser #historic #mountlogan #art #3d #3dprinting #resin

[Fraser King @FraserTheKing]

Love the depth you can see in these actual 3D prints... #mapsbyfraser #historic #mountlogan #art
