Dashing through the snow(flakes)
Classifying snow photos to learn more about climate change
Growing up in the north-west of England, it was rare that our winters yielded enough snow to accommodate a fleeting snowball fight, let alone build a snowman. And yet whenever I was lucky enough to witness the first flakes beginning to fall, my heart was filled with excitement, anticipation and the hope of heavy drifts.
A team of researchers at the University of Utah in the US has been sharing the beauty of falling snow with members of the public, inviting them to take a closer look at individual flakes in the name of science.
