DURHAM — This winter University of New Hampshire researchers will monitor the state’s snowpack in real time using new sophisticated snow scales installed at UNH’s Kingman Research Farm, a facility of the N.H. Agricultural Experiment Station. This monitoring will lead to better understanding of the impact of less snowpack on everything from drought and the growing season to winter tourism.
Elizabeth Burakowski, research assistant professor at the Earth Systems Research Center within the Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space at UNH, and her team are investigating how changes in snowpack affect the exchange of energy and water between the atmosphere and the land. Their goal is to further understand how much winters will continue to warm in response to human activities in the future, and how this warming will affect our ecosystem.
