DOI: 10.1007/s00248-019-01357-z
Abstract: Snows that persist late into the growing season become colonized with numerous metabolically active microorganisms, yet underlying mechanisms of community assembly and dispersal remain poorly known. We investigated (Illumina MiSeq) snow-borne bacterial, fungal, and algal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.coldregions.2019.102847
Abstract: Abstract Snow slab avalanches start with a failure in a weak snow layer buried below a cohesive snow slab. After failure, the very porous character of the weak layer leads to its volumetric collapse and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tgrs.2018.2802494
Abstract: Snow water equivalent (SWE) is a key variable for various hydrological applications. It is defined as the depth of water that would result upon complete melting of a mass of snow. However, until now, continuous… read more here.
