Jewell Lund is an Associate Research Scientist at the Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources, and serves as the Knowledge Co-production Coordinator for the Wyoming Anticipating Climate Transitions (WyACT) project. Dr. Lund is a snow hydrology researcher that uses integrative methods to improve understanding of the timing and magnitude of snowmelt contributions to streamflow in mountainous areas. She is particularly interested in how field methodologies and physically based modeling may complement, validate, and further elucidate remotely sensed information, with an eye for the topographic and orographic complexities of mountain environments that challenge accurate snowmelt runoff forecasting.
Recognizing that many communities around the world rely on snow as a primary water resource, and that this natural reservoir system is changing with climate, her work supports the generation of actionable scientific knowledge through processes of inter- and trans-disciplinary team science and knowledge co-production. It is my hope that, processes of knowledge co-production that bring scientific researchers together with operational experts, decision-makers, sovereign tribes, community members, farmers and ranchers, recreationists, and others, can together create a holistic and robust understanding of the complex and interconnected challenges related to climate change impacts on the water cycle, and together innovate pathways to anticipate and adapt to those impacts.
