[CRYOLIST] Snow Hydrology Session at AGU

Hello Everyone,

Please consider submitting an abstract to the snow hydrology session co-organized by Hydrology and Cryosphere sections. 

Confirmed invited presenters:
Dr. Alejandro Flores
Dr. Sarah Godsey

Session ID: 102157
Session Title: . Applications in Snow Hydrology: Linking Seasonal Snow to Natural Processes and Society
Section: Hydrology; Cross-listed in Cryosphere

Session Description:
Snow plays a critical role in the water and energy cycles; however, in-depth understanding of its role in natural and human systems has been limited by a lack of reliable observations. Advances in field measurements, remote sensing, modeling capabilities, and emerging data analytical techniques are critical for linking snowpack information to broader processes and understanding how climate dynamics impact water supply and infrastructure. This session invites submissions focusing on innovative approaches linking snow to broader fields that address important questions such as: How do extreme events and variability in snow affect the hydrologic cycle, environment, energy sector, resource management, infrastructure, etc.? What recent advancements in snow hydrology better inform these fields? How can these advances better characterize runoff and its linkage to other processes in cold regions? We welcome submissions connecting snow to water and energy cycles across various spatiotemporal scales pertaining to hazards, streamflow forecasting, hydropower, ecology, agriculture, etc.

Thanks,
