Congratulations to the graduating students from Interdisciplinary Graduate Programs. We are so proud of your achievement. Please check out our Interdisciplinary Graduate Program celebration page . Hydrological Sciences working with NASA to map snowpack from space Anne Nolin, Ph.D. and a team of students are digging snowpits and surveying snow depths on a weekly basis as part of the NASA SnowEx Field Campaign. This snow hydrology campaign is part of NASA’s progression towards a global snow monitoring satellite mission. Learn more about this campaign. Hydrology Graduate student Rose Petersky talks snow pack In collaboration with NASA, Rose Petersky collected snow information around weather towers in the Sagehen Creek watershed. Learn more about this research in recent publications: " Now you see it, now you don't: a case study of ephemeral snowpacks and soil moisture response in the Great Basin, USA ," in the Hydrology and Earth System Sciences journal, and " The sensitivity of snow ephemerality to warming climate across an arid to montane vegetation gradient ," in the journal Ecohydrology.
