You can help unlock the secrets of snow

Support our work here on our crowdfunding page.

We know climate change is affecting temperatures around the world. But did you know that scientists look to snowflakes and snow on the ground to help understand the best ways to manage the water supply and ecology of our region?

You can help them broaden their study of our snowfall.

Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and WNYC are launching a citizen science investigation of snow. Lamont scientist Marco Tedesco is leading a project to scout out locations best suited from monitoring snow and to collect as much data as possible on the snow of our regions. He needs your help!

Residents throughout the state of New York can contribute to cutting-edge scientific investigation by documenting snow in their local areas. By combining observations from scientists and the public, a collective knowledge of what is happening can lead to better ways of understanding what is happening, adapting to change and predicting the impact of climate change on the snow in our region.

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT TO UNDERWITE THIS CITIZEN SCIENCE INVESTIGATION!

What Your Support Will Do: You can help in two ways:

  1. Collect data and send it to us through the tools and methods that scientists are showing on the website
  2. Donate to cover the cost for collecting as much scientific data as possible for the Columbia team. Donations will also support the critically important analysis of all of the snow data collects.
