NCAR Explorer Series “Divided waters: Weathering our changing flood and drought extremes”

NCAR Mesa Lab 1850 Table Mesa Drive Boulder, CO 80305

Water is one of our most precious resources with incomparable destructive forces, whether they be droughts or floods. Understanding what water will do in this changing climate allows for protection of human life and property; but how can we know what water will do tomorrow if the data from the past can no longer help us? To address this, there has been an evolution of hydrologic models that allow scientists all over the world to more accurately predict water’s unpredictable behavior.

In their NCAR Explorer Series Lecture, NCAR scientists Dave Gochis and David Yates will describe how advancing hydrological models can help us quench the thirst for knowledge on water’s behavior.
