The Snow Interest Group (http://snow.usace.army.mil)is a group of professionals from ERDC's Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) and Topographic Engineering Center (TEC) and from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Operational Hydrologic Remote Sensing Center in Minnesota, bound together by a common sense of purpose: to provide one-stop solutions for its customers' snow science and engineering problems. The Snow Interest Group pursues a common set of solutions, maintains a common store of knowledge, and relies on combined expertise to collaboratively solve snow problems presented to it. The Snow Interest Group comprises nearly 50 members whose expertise includes hydrology; geophysics; chemistry; biology; acoustics; physics; geology; glaciology; atmospheric sciences; and mechanical, geological, civil, and electrical engineering. The group has been developing a strategic plan to ensure that its collective snow research capabilities are being fully applied to solve problems for the Corps of Engineers, the Army, and the Nation.
