Overview

Jennifer M. Jacobs is affiliated with the University of New Hampshire in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science and earth and planetary sciences, with extensive work in atmospheric science and global and planetary change. Their subfields of study also include environmental engineering, management, monitoring, policy and law, and civil and structural engineering.

The main topics of their research encompass cryospheric studies and observations, climate change and permafrost, climate variability and models, soil moisture and remote sensing, remote sensing and LiDAR applications, landslides and related hazards, and winter sports injuries and performance.

Notable recent publications by Jacobs include:

  • Snow depth mapping with unpiloted aerial system lidar observations: a case study in Durham, New Hampshire, United States (2021), published in The Cryosphere
  • Future Changes in Snowpack, Snowmelt, and Runoff Potential Extremes Over North America (2021), published in Geophysical Research Letters
  • Mere Nuisance or Growing Threat? The Physical and Economic Impact of High Tide Flooding on US Road Networks (2021), published in Journal of Infrastructure Systems
  • Extreme Value Snow Water Equivalent and Snowmelt for Infrastructure Design Over the Contiguous United States (2020), published in Water Resources Research
  • Maximum entropy modeling to identify physical drivers of shallow snowpack heterogeneity using unpiloted aerial system (UAS) lidar (2021), published in Journal of Hydrology

These papers reflect a strong engagement with remote sensing techniques, hydrological processes, and climate-related infrastructure impacts.

Jennifer M. Jacobs frequently collaborates with several researchers, including:

  • Eunsang Cho
