New Grant Awarded by NSF CHIRRP Program!

Led by Dr. Jen Schmidt at the University of Alaska Anchorage, our proposal was recently funded to study the heavy snowload in the city of Anchorage. This is a multi-instution collaboration with Dr Andy Newman and Dr Cenlin He from NSF NCAR, Dr Jen Delamere and Christi Buffington from University of Alaska Fairbanks. At UB, we will collaborate with NSF NCAR to add snow physics to the WRF-Urban model and perform robust climate assessment for the snowload changes in Anchorage.
