The Snow Science School in Tahoe gathers 20 students from various backgrounds to study the crucial role of snow in water supply. Directed by Andrew Schwartz, the school emphasizes understanding snow's significance, as about two billion people depend on snowpack for water. Schwartz highlights that experiences at the Snow Lab, including extreme snowfalls, shape knowledge about snow's behavior and importance. The program includes students from the California Department of Water Resources, National Parks, and educational institutions, showcasing the unity in snow science and its broader necessities for earth's ecosystems.
"Roughly two billion people [around the world] use water obtained from snowpack. And we tend to take it for granted."
