Andrew Schwartz is a meteorologist at UC Berkeley with a passion for
weather and snow stemming from his childhood in Denver. His current work involves monitoring snowfall, researching the impacts of climate change on snowpack, and developing solutions for water resource management in the face of decreasing snow levels.
● Snow is essential for freshwater supply and helps regulate temperatures on the planet.
● Climate change is causing changes in precipitation patterns, leading to shorter
snowpack seasons and more extreme weather events.
● Wildfires have a significant impact on snowpack, accelerating melt and increasing the risk of flooding.
● Managing water resources in a changing climate requires a holistic approach and collaboration among many different entities.
