Grant Description

The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to conduct research to understand how groundwater recharge in the Western United States might respond to possible climatic shifts over the next century. Using a wide variety of measurements and estimates, the goal of this research is to synthesize current understanding of recharge across the entire West, forecast future groundwater dynamics under climate change scenarios, and identify where there are missing data and knowledge gaps that prevent forecasting of groundwater recharge.
