CRYSP Lab
We study snow, glaciers and ice and how they impact landscapes and hydrology. We employ a range of field and laboratory approaches to measure and model the many surface processes that are involved.

Scientists take flight to map California’s vast snowpack and measure flooding threats (L.A. Times)
Noah Molotch is quoted in this Los Angeles Times article about mapping the recent historic snowpack in California using laser pulses and spectrometers from the air. The flights are collecting data to estimate when and how fast the snow will melt, helping officials prepare for the runoff, manage water releases from dams, and asses areas at risk of flooding.
