Solving real-world problems through innovation
Mike and Tara Follum started Follum Hydrologic Solutions, LLC (FHS) in August 2021. In January 2022 Mike went full-time with FHS. The focus of FHS is to provide innovative and state-of-the-art solutions to hydrologic and geospatial problems.
The interests of the company include cold region hydrology, continental-scale flow and flood inundation modeling, water operations, water availability, dam safety, simulation of flows and flooding in remote regions, use of hydrologic data within mobility/bridge analysis, and rapid response hydrologic models.

Snow and Frozen Ground Simulations
Water from the snowpack drives the rivers in for much of the World and can be a large contributor to flooding. Historically, snow has been difficult to simulate due to limited data availability for both forcing and calibrating the numerical methods.
