Speaker: Dr. David Chandler, Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Syracuse University
Talk Overview:
Learn the fundamental physics and dynamics of snow formation, compare snow forecast models, and consider the change in snow and streamflow under future climate scenarios for different climate regions.

Biography:
Dr. David Chandler is an environmental engineer at Syracuse University. His main area of research is on soil-plant-water interactions in natural and built environments. Two prominent themes in this work are phenomenological inquiry into basic physical controls on functional processes in the vadose zone, and related applied investigations of pressing environmental problems, including sustainability. The resulting body of work has covered a wide range of ecosystems, which supports a current interest in comparative hydrology. Field investigations to support discovery, improvements to model structure and parametrization student training in the field are current areas of activity. Whereas current work is mostly in cold regions, his historic work includes projects in tropical, mesic continental, semi-arid, and desert environments.
