Adrian's research focuses on satellite snow retrievals for water supply estimates, specifically the use of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) to achieve near-real-time snow monitoring for operational decision making. His work includes snow surveys in the San Juan-Chama Project (SJCP) headwaters to assess the accuracy of these satellite snow products. He is funded by the NASA Wester Water Application's Office (WWAO) to facilitate focus group discussions with the Bureau of Reclamation to better understand how these data products can be implemented in the agency's water management operations. Other interests include snowmelt timing from in-situ liquid water content and temperature measurements, the effects of forest thinning on snow accumulation and melt, and repurposing a Sandia weather station for automated snow data and public use.
