Guests: Aaron Jacobs, hydrologist and meteorologist, National Weather Service Juneau office.
A warming climate takes its toll on glaciers and snowmelt, increasing the threat of flooding. Hydrologists like Aaron Jacobs, call this “hidden water,” water that is held back by glacial dams, that can burst out after long stretches of hot weather and cause a sudden rise in surrounding lakes and rivers. Jacobs talks about research at Suicide Basin.
