Hall B-C (Poster Hall)
Federal leadership, mobilizing close interagency coordination across sectors, is key to tackling compound climate and human impacts on water resources. Recognizing this need, U.S. federal agencies and academic collaborators conducted a series of workshops to advance Integrated Hydro-Terrestrial Modeling (IHTM), a framework that leverages the capabilities of different institutions and sectors to advance a shared vision for use-inspired modeling and open science. The IHTM workshops focused on the collaborative design of national- and regional-scale integrated modeling experiments and establishing an IHTM Community of Practice. The modeling testbeds seek to facilitate collaborative water cycle research that responds to societal needs, extending from basic research to resource management operations, including the integrated assessment of water resources at both national and regional scales. This session will showcase advancements in national- and regional-scale modeling capabilities through the design and execution of integrated modeling experiments and assessments.
