In addition to offering our Senator Beck Basin Study Area research and monitoring facility at Red Mountain Pass, CSAS provides research support services for our hosted researchers in the form of fieldwork, instrumentation development, experimental and research design consultation, seminar hosting, and collaboration on snow system research projects.  Please contact Executive Director Jeff Derry to discuss your particular needs and goals, and for references with those researchers we have already been pleased to assist.

The Center for Snow and Avalanche Studies has had the privilege of supporting a number of talented researchers and students in our brief history:
