This two-year, $188,177 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund the development of new techniques for mapping and monitoring plant drought stress using repeat hyperspectral data. The University of California, Santa Barbara will link detailed measurements of plant drought stress, water use, and water sources to remotely sensed data on plant water content. This will identify areas of drought resilience and vulnerability during an...
This $166,266 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to develop integrated drought management policies for the Upper Colorado River Basin. The researchers will evaluate the economic and environmental impacts of droughts on agricultural and urban communities under current water management practices. They will then develop and analyze alternative plans that coordinate forecast-informed...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $148,732 Project Grant under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program to the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees) to create a new model for improving water sustainability under extreme droughts. The project will quantify the drought-water security relationship and apply the approach to improve decision-making using seasonal forecasts and stakeholder information. The model results will be distributed to user groups currently coping...
This $200,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Wake Forest University from January 2023 through December 2024 to develop a modeling framework integrating vegetation phenology and dynamic water storage under drought conditions. Funded through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the research aims to better understand land-atmosphere interactions characterizing drought events in mountainous regions of Colorado. Specifically, the university will couple a land surface...
This $256,252 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research by the Aspen Global Change Institute to estimate the emergence of anthropogenic warming signals in snow water resource metrics in mountainous regions. The three-year project grant will use an innovative modeling framework including a large ensemble climate model, statistical learning techniques, and process-based hydrological modeling to analyze uncertainty and attribute changes in...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $899,544 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to leverage emergent climate model evaluation techniques to reduce uncertainty in regional climate change projections, particularly related to the water cycle. This 3-year project will focus on applying these methods to high-resolution climate model simulations of the western United...
