Jessica Lundquist, UW professor of civil and environmental engineering, stands near Gothic, Colorado, for a separate project: studying how sublimation — when snow turns into water vapor — is affecting Colorado's diminishing snowpack. Gothic gets about 40% of its snow by the end of December, but fall snow in this area is not a good predictor of total season snowpack.
