Toward the Estimation of Global Snow-Derived Water Resources
Food, nutrition and fresh water
Mountain snowpacks serve as a vital seasonal water reservoir for many downstream ecosystems and human populations. Despite its importance, characterizing the amount of water stored in snowpacks and how it varies over space and time has largely eluded hydrologists.

Description
In this talk, Professor Steve Margulis of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will cover a survey of work in his group aimed at characterizing mountain snow. A unifying theme is the use of data assimilation to tie together remote sensing observations and hydrologic models. The talk will highlight some ideas using existing spaceborne measurement techniques and those expected to be available in the future.
