August: End of summer data

We’ve been heading up every two weeks to scan the pile and collected some pretty cool data. The cross section below snows relatively consistent loss of volume – including compaction and some melting. Scanning wasn’t bad with my indispensable field assistant, Molly Murtha, especially if we remembered to bring bug spray.

The dedicated field assistant and I, hard at work.
The snow pile, bird’s eye view (a), showing volume change with color gradation. The two cross sections (b, c) show change over the summer – each colored line refers to one scan.

Across the Fence, a UVM news reporting group, came across my research and thought their viewers would be interested. They did a great job with the story.
