Abstract: A new set of thermal conductivity measurements collected over the course of one winter season in Glacier National Park, BC, Canada is introduced. Subsets of grain types are examined for empirical relationships between thermal conductivity and layer density. Further subsetting by moist or dry layers suggests that an empirical relationship between temperature and thermal conductivity is possible with either an expanded dataset or through a meta-study incorporating past studies of snow thermal conductivity.
