As the #WintersUnderPressure course in Oulanka 2026 is coming to an end, I think it is worth posting a bit about how fun and full of learning the week has been.
We have had students with many different backgrounds 🧪👩🔬🦠and they have shined the whole week ❄️

Yes, we are out in the snow on purpose.
Our technicians are collecting snow core samples to quality-check our SWE sensors—because “looks right” is not a measurement.

A tiny, but mighty, snowpack for this season's #snowpit training day. Every season we train our skills in doing a snow pit analysis. We do this because some parts of the analysis are subjective, so we try to "calibrate" our evaluations of the characteristics. #SHaM #SnowScience #MastersOfThePit

❄️ Snowfall study!
W-band radar and snowflake images show high KDP can arise from turbulence, blowing snow, small crystals, and surface dendritic aggregates—not just heavy snowfall.

🏔️💧 Polluted snow in the Rockies?
New research shows northern Rocky Mountain snow is contaminated with heavy metals like mercury and cadmium – mainly from mining and smelting.

The Cloud Seeding Team made it back to the same spot near Lake Tahoe and the #snowpack looks much better after a full night of DRI water resource enhancement operations! Thank you to Jesse for sharing this update! ❄️ #SnowScience #ScienceThatMattersNow
Honored to have joined the 9th EGU #SnowScience Course in France!
💧❄️ We measured LWC, stratigraphy, density, SSA, albedo, SWE, Smp & more @ fieldwork
🧊Inspired by the brilliant international team and the pressing need 🥵 to study snow's role in Earth's climate, Water cycle, Glaciers & Icesheets 🫠.
#SNOWSCHOOL SUCCESS!
Some 250 local fifth graders received hands-on instruction on #SnowScience from @sierra4ever.bsky.social , #FriendsoftheInyo, #WinterWildlandsAlliance , local school districts & volunteers this month. Go to sierraforever.org/blog to read our media release & share it w/ others.
Ideal dendrites today! Perfect snowflakes form in calm winds, -12°C to -18°C temps, high humidity, and a stable atmosphere. These conditions let them grow symmetrically and fall intact! #Weather #SnowScience

15 years ago, I captured this above #Innsbruck. The PR agency of #Tirol bought it for their campaign, printing posters seen in many Innsbruck homes.
Now? As an expert in microbial snow and ice ecology, I could talk about the science for hours too! 🏔️❄️
