## Resource

Colorado is currently facing one of its most warm and dry winters on record, with snowpacks hitting historical lows and March heatwaves shattering 500-year records. In this episode, we sit down with Noah Molotch, Professor of Geography at CU Boulder, Research Scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and a leading expert in snow hydrology, to make sense of this changing landscape. As Colorado faces record-shattering heat and historic snow lows, Noah joins us to break down the physics behind and implications of our changing landscape and climate.
