One of our snowmelt monitoring stations in the headwaters of the Navajo River. This one of the main watersheds that supplies water (~96,000 acre ft) that is transferred from the Colorado River Basin into the Rio Grande River Basin. A very important resource for NM and a great place to work.

Fall semester kickoff BBQ was a success. We are welcoming 3 new members to the UWyo Mountain Hydrology team.

A great time of year for field work. Here's what the snow conditions looked like around the Sugarloaf field site in the Snowy Range last Friday.

Check out our new paper defining marginal snowpacks and future needs. It was great working with everyone on this. Let us know what you think!

Monday morning fieldwork is a great way to start the week. I'm establishing a new regular pit and depth transect near in the Snowy Range near the Sugarload rec area.

Proud Dad moment. My son is the only kid in preschool that made his snowflakes six pointed. Granted, some were only 4 but I'm gonna let it slide.

A rough start to the winter snowpack for most of the western US. Hopefully the rest of us catch up to the Rio Grande - Elephant Butte River Basin soon (only basin above 100%)

I am here at AGU with a limited number of HOAR (Hydrologist Of Alpine Regions) hats available. I can also mail you one if I run out of them here at AGU. $15 each.
