Pascal Haegeli is an assistant professor of resource and environmental management at SFU and a renowned expert in avalanche safety research. He and his team are working on methods and approaches for making computer models that simulate the evolution of the seasonal snowpack more accessible for avalanche forecasters. In the study, Snow profile alignment and similarity assessment for aggregating, clustering, and evaluating snowpack model output for avalanche forecasting, he presents an algorithm that allows us to summarize simulations and compare them to observations in a meaningful way.
