Seasonal snow significantly influences water availability and governs the energy balance and water cycle in snow-dominated areas. Advances in field measurements, remote sensing, modeling, and emerging data analysis techniques support improved mechanistic understandings of the ways that snowpack accumulation and melt interact with other processes (i.e., climate dynamics, infrastructure, water management practices). This session welcomes all submissions that address snow hydrology in natural and human systems. Particularly, we invite submissions that broadly relate to the hydrological processes that govern snowpack's contribution to streamflow generation, with potential topics including but not limited to: how the seasonal snowpack is partitioned between hydrologic stores and fluxes such as sublimation, evapotranspiration, runoff, and soil moisture; how changes in precipitation phase and changes in snowmelt characteristics (rate, timing, and amount) alter streamflow generation dynamics; and how we can advance our understanding of snow-derived streamflow generation across different scales and under historical and/or future conditions.
