In-scaling measurements of the hydro- and cryosphere

Whether collecting field data or running computer-based simulations, effectively measuring environmental processes across spatial and temporal scales has posed a persistent challenge for researchers. These challenges are particularly acute with regard to the hydro- and cryosphere, where fluxes of water can vary significantly across time and space. Emerging technologies and integrated methodological approaches provide a path forward to effectively scale measurements of the hydro and cryosphere, yielding better data that inform process-based discovery and scientific insights. This seminar will present emergent ground- and UAV-based approaches to distribute and aggregate measurements of snow and water across time and space, and how we leverage these data to improve our process-based understanding and scientific discovery.
