1. Experimental investigation of snow metamorphism at near-surface layers
Abstract : Snow metamorphism is a direct objective in many snow research areas, and its charac-terisation is a major challenge in areas including winter road maintenance, detection of icing on wind turbine blades, and snow quality mapping for skiing. A common effect of snow metamorphism is compaction, which can be investigated from the associated vari-ations in physical properties of snow. READ MORE

2. Snow particle size investigations using digital image analysis - implications for ground observations and remote sensing of snow
Abstract : During the past century climate warming has caused rapid changes in the Cryosphere. This has increased the need to accurately monitor rates of change in snow and ice in remote or sparsely populated areas where environmental observing capacity is limited. Monitoring snow cover requires understanding of the snow pack and the snow surface attributes. READ MORE

3. Boreal land surface water and heat balance : Modelling soil-snow-vegetation-atmosphere behaviour
Abstract : The water and heat exchange in thesoil-snow-vegetation-atmosphere system was studied in order toimprove the quantitative knowledge of land surface processes.In this study, numerical simulation models and availabledatasets representing arable land, sub-alpine snowpack, andboreal forest were evaluated at both diurnal and seasonaltimescales.

4. Sustainable snow handling
Abstract : Urban snow contains pollution that originates from sources such as atmospheric precipitation, traffic emission, and de-icing chemicals. These pollutants accumulate in the snow during the winter and are released when the snow starts to melt. READ MORE

5. Land surface heat exchange over snow and frozen soil
Abstract : The energy exchange in the soil-snow-vegetation-atmospheresystem was studied to improve the quantitative knowledge of thegoverning processes. The lack of such knowledge contributes tothe uncertainty in the applicability of many existing modelsindependent of the temporal or spatial scale. READ MORE
