Education and career
editLundquist earned her B.S. from the University of California, Davis in 1999. She went on to receive an M.S. (2000) and a Ph.D. (2004) from Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Following her Ph.D. Lundquist was a postdoctoral fellow at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration from 2004 until 2006, when she moved to the University of Washington.[1] Lundquist was promoted to full professor in 2017.[2]
Research
editLundquist is known for her work in snow science. Her early research examined changes in river flow in the United States[3] and used a network of sensors to track snowmelt in Yosemite National Park.[4] Subsequent work includes investigating the process where snow transitions directly from a solid to a gas, sublimation.[5] Lundquist's research examines predictions for the amount of snow a region will get over a season,[6][7] and defines differences in the amount of snow areas receive across different years.[8] Her work on how forests impact the ability for mountains to retain snow[9] was selected for an editor's choice award from the journal Water Resources Research in 2014.[10]
