Living Snow Project

Engaging the outdoor recreation community in research that is characterizing the biodiversity of pink snow and its impact on snowmelt. Run by Kodner Lab WWU.

We had an amazing weekend in Whistler talking about snow algae with a great group of citizen scientists! Huge thank you to Patagonia Whistler for organizing this event. 🍉💕☀️

New paper from the Kodner Lab! Ever wondered what snow algae are up to? Our new paper describes a hypothesized life cycle of the snow algae Chlainomonas sp. - you may be surprised by what we found!

This is a BIG week! Microlab is hosting the first CASP-ICE workshop, bringing together global leaders in snow/glacier algae research to standardise and innovate sampling methods. Watch this space!

Calling all algae enthusiasts! Now is your chance to help build the world's largest snow algae database! Our 2023 volunteer recruitment starts now, so if you've ever felt algae love, algae curiosity, or even algae indifference, hit the link in our bio to join us! #CitizenScience

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Brooke Weigel to our lab! Brooke is an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow, and she will be studying how climate change is impacting the productivity of snow algal communities in the North Cascades. Welcome Brooke! #nsffunded @BrookeWeigel

Studying pink snow sounds way more fun than the other color option. https://t.co/hjn5zEuZex @LivingSnowProj

We had to walk a long way to get to this snow, but it was worth it! Yeti fight or algae bloom? #snowalgae #livingsnowproject #wwu https://t.co/dySXDJcBKX

@DrLimnology @NSF @MtnScience @trinity_lh @ProtectWinters @SnowFlyProject @GlacierNPS @GNPConservancy @YellowstoneNPS @Y2Y_Initiative @FLBSUM Yes, the Living Snow Project has built infrastructure to do this and we have been collecting sitings and DNA samples for years. I'll send you an email to connect.
