The Living Snow Project: using the power of citizen science to study alpine snow ecosystems, by Robin Kodner

In this talk, Robin Kodner will describe the biology of snow algae, their role in alpine ecosystems, the impacts of climate change on these systems, and our efforts to study them by involving the public as citizen scientists.
