New methods for detecting snow in Arizona for water supply

Congratulations to the team from the Center for Hydrologic Innovations that was recently featured by the Arizona Water Innovation Initiative! Postdoctoral scholar Zhaocheng Wang described the effort as: “Planet imagery is useful for the type of dryland hydrology we have in Arizona. We trained a machine learning model called a convolutional neural network that can get the snowpack in different spatial patterns by using the surrounding pixels for additional information for contextual information”.
