Who else is working on the science of snow crystals?
Not many people are thinking about why snow crystals look like they do, and most of them are meteorologists looking at how snow crystal formation affects the properties of cold clouds. Here is a partial list (in no particular order), along with contact information (in the links): Charles Knight, National Center for Atmospheric Research Dennis Lamb, Jerry Harrington, Penn State Brian Swanson, Marcia Baker, University of Washington John Hallett, Desert Research Institute Raymond Shaw, Michigan Technological University Norihiko Fukuta, University of Utah Yoshinori Furukawa, Hokkaido University (Japan) John Wettlaufer, Yale University I have also been collaborating with David Griffeath and Janko Gravner, who are mathematicians working on cellular automata methods for computer modeling of snow crystal formation. My scientific focus is somewhat different from the meteorologists in that I am not trying to connect snow crystal formation to clouds or climate issues. Rather, I am a physicist loo
