Session ID#: 13233

Session Description:
Snow is an important water resource around the world and is vital to a number of communities and ecosystems for survival. For these reasons the spring snowmelt season is important to water managers, ecosystems, and climate science. The hydrological response to snowmelt will certainly alter in a changing climate and gaining a stronger understating of the physical hydrological processes will better allow scientists and society to adapt to and mitigate negative consequences of the future. This session will focus on thes physical hydrological processes that occur during snowmelt and the connections between disciplines including streamflow connectivity, flooding, groundwater or soil moisture storage recharge, evapotranspiration, and land surface radiative feedback.
