The Mass and Density of Snowflakes

Applied Physics, Climate Science, Environmental Science, Statistics

We have developed the first device to measure the mass and density of individual snowflakes, a problem that has vexed the atmospheric sciences for nearly 100 years and is critical to predictions of weather and climate. We have collected millions of snowflake samples, have developed the analysis code, and are looking for an interested undergraduate researcher to help with the final steps of analyzing our groundbreaking dataset.
