Spectacular Snow Science
Join an NHMU educator and Dave Eiriksson, Hydrologist with the Natural Resources Conservation Service Snow Survey program, to learn more about the importance of snow in Utah and how it affects our water resources. Find out how snow survey measures and maps show our snowpack. Sessions for K-2nd, 3rd-4th, and 5th-6th grade will have a short presentation with a Q&A. We will also have a story time for our K-2nd grade students.
