This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $675,290 to Cornell University to estimate the emergence of anthropogenic warming signals in snow water resource metrics in mountainous regions. Working in the headwaters of the Upper Colorado River Basin, the grantee will use an innovative modeling framework with a large ensemble climate model and process-based hydrological modeling to assess the predictability of future snow water resources and emergence of climate change signals. The grantee will work with water resource decision-makers to identify relevant metrics and time periods to support adaptation decisions. The project aims to strengthen hydroclimatic science, make results more actionable for risk assessments, and support one postdoc and undergraduate students. The total award amount is $675,290 over three years from September 15, 2022 through August 31, 2025.
