On snowmelt, water security, and a warming climate – Why solution-oriented research matters, now more than ever
1 April 2015: for the first time on record, the chief of the California Cooperative Snow Surveys, Frank Gehrke, had no snow to measure at the Phillips Snow Course near Lake Tahoe at the end of the winter. This was in some ways unsurprising, as California had been in a drought since 2012.

In Germany about 50% of the students in mathematics and natural sciences are women, but there are only 20% of fem ...[Read More]
