Podcasting about snow science for kids

March 25, 2017

Research hydrologist Kelly Elder was recently featured on a Tumble Science Podcast for Kids episode titled “The People of the Snow.”

Dr. Elder responded to kids’ questions about what makes snow and why snowflakes are different. He also shared his experiences working with the Inuit people to develop remote weather stations in the Arctic to complement their traditional knowledge on weather forecasting, especially for snow and ice.
