H41F:
Remote Sensing and Modeling of Water Resources I Posters


Session ID#: 9750

Session Description:
Monitoring and predicting changes in water resources is essential for mitigating the pressures of population growth and climate change, but in most of the world monitoring is hampered by the scarcity of in situ measurements and barriers to data access. Remote sensing and numerical modeling hold promise for filling data gaps and enabling regional scale water resources assessments.  In particular, GRACE is the only global observing system able to detect changes in all water storage components including groundwater.  This session invites presentations on techniques for monitoring, modeling, and predicting the storage and fluxes of groundwater and other water resources, links to drought, climate change, and global water cycle variability, prospects for extending the value of existing knowledge and observational records across scales, and studies that use multiple data sources and/or processing techniques to interpret and enhance GRACE observations.
