Building on the development of IHTM as a framework to address the complex water challenges in the United States, the IHTM 2.0 Workshop Report presents the findings from the IHTM 2.0 Workshop. This event brought together 160 scientists and managers from federal, academic, and private sectors to strengthen critical connections between the research and operational water resources communities in fall 2023.
The GRACE twin satellites (GRACE / GRACE-FO) are making detailed measurements of Earth's gravity field changes and collect information about Earth's water reservoirs over land, ice and oceans, as well as earthquakes and crustal deformations.
The IMERG algorithm combines information from the GPM satellite constellation to estimate precipitation over most of the Earth's surface. It is particularly valuable in areas that lack ground-based precipitation-measuring instruments, such as oceans and remote areas.
OpenET uses best available science to provide easily accessible satellite-based evapotranspiration (ET) data for improved water management across the western United States.
Global retrospective estimates of land and hydrology variables at 5-km resolution.
Retrospective and real-time estimates of land and hydrology variables over North America at 1km resolution.
Modern Era Retrospective-analysis for Research and Applications Version 2 (MERRA-2) is a global atmospheric reanalysis (1980-present) that assimilates the latest NASA observations and many standard meteorological observing systems. It represents many aspects of the weather and climate over the United States, along with the teleconnections that drive climate variability.
The goal of the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) is to ingest satellite- and ground-based observational data products, using advanced land surface modeling and data assimilation techniques, in order to generate optimal fields of land surface states and fluxes.
The Water and Energy Cycle focus area (WEC) supports focused and crosscutting research to improve our understanding of the global water cycle.
The CSDMS 2025 Annual Meeting will be broad in scope, bringing together CSDMS members to present new scientific insights in the modeling of surface dynamics and the impact of time and process scales, new advances in cyber-infrastructure, examples on coupling models, how social and ecological models can inform management, and more. Also, this is the 3nd year that you can submit Electronic Publications (Epubs); Jupyter notebooks that contain e.g.
