The U.S. Geological Survey’s Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center offers this grant to study how climate change will affect snowpack properties and avalanche frequency. This grant is for understanding future avalanche behavior, including the increasing threat of destructive wet snow avalanches, which are poorly understood. It will also inform water resource managers on adapting to declining snowpacks for community resilience. Utilizing recent avalanche-dendrochronology and snowpack modeling, the project will project future snowpack characteristics and avalanche frequency. The overarching goal is to determine how snowpack properties and avalanche character will change across space and time, identifying their primary drivers.

| Description: | U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NOROCK) is offering a funding opportunity to relationships with climate and avalanches as well as assist with remote sensing of snowpack properties. Understanding future changes in snowpack properties and avalanche frequency and magnitude serves to contextualize current and future avalanche behavior including a shift in avalanche regime from cold and dry to warm and wet. Additionally, it informs water resource managers on how best to adapt to declining snowpacks and become more resilient communities. Under a warming climate, destructive wet snow avalanches are an increasingly more frequent threat to humans yet are poorly understood. Are well positioned to further the understanding of changing snowpack properties and avalanche frequency given previous research experience. This proposed project will utilize recent regional avalanche-dendrochronology and snowpack modeling work (from USGS PI – E. Peitzsch) to project snowpack property and avalanche frequency changes and associated spatial landscape changes associated with large magnitude (extreme) avalanche events. The goal is to answer the following overarching question: How will snowpack properties and avalanche frequency and character change across space and time in the future and what are the primary drivers of this variability? |
