Sam is a graduate of Williams College (Geosciences) and Boston University (Earth & Environment), a former member of the Jacobs Research Lab (Civil & Environmental Engineering, now Earth Systems Research Center) at the University of New Hampshire, and a former member of the Department of Geology & Geography at Mount Holyoke College.

Madison is a fourth year Ph.D. student conducting research in measuring snow water equivalent (SWE) in a prairie environment in central Montana, as part of NASA Terrestrial Hydrology Program’s SnowEx project. For her first chapter, she evaluated whether a cosmic ray neutron sensor, which has been previously used to detect soil moisture, can accurately measure snow water equivalent.  The remainder of Madison’s PhD research focuses on drivers of snow variability in a forested watershed in the Adirondack Mountains, NY.

Angela is a post-defense Masters student who is evaluating how well we can monitor wet snow using passive microwave satellite observations. She is investigating what implications these melt events have for snowpack dynamics and hydrology.

Haejo is a second year Ph.D. student who is conducting snow water equivalent (SWE) research at a prairie site in central Montana using cosmic ray neutron sensing (CRNS) and neutron transport modeling. His future work will involve snow modeling and anow spatial variability in Montana and the northeastern U.S.

George is a postdoctoral scientist who is experimenting with a data fusion approach to combine active and passive microwave observations of snowmelt in order to create a dataset that draws on the strength of both technologies.  He has a background in atmospheric science and remote sensing of snow in the atmosphere. He currently works for IMSG on a project with NOAA.
