Snow Hydrology

Problem

Snow covers much of the earth permanently or seasonally. The physical aspects of a snow cover, from grain-scale relationships to areal extent of coverage, ultimately control many of the chemical and biological processes that occur above, within, or beneath the snow cover. An understanding of these processes and their interaction is essential to predict their respective influence and the potential future changes in their environments.
