Description:

• In snowmelt dominant regions, agriculture production is directly tied to runoff from snowmelt. Climate change is affecting these socio‑ecological food production systems. Many exacerbating and mitigating ecohydrologic processes contribute to climate‑adapted or stressed food‑water systems. Characterizing these interactions and changes is critical for improving management and preparing for societal impacts.
• This opportunity will contribute to improving climate‑adapted socio‑hydrologic systems at global and regional scales by collaborating with resource managers and stakeholders, using modeling and observations of the terrestrial water cycle and its interactions with land surface processes.
• Possible observational and modeling work can include SWOT, GRACE, ECOSTRESS, or in situ stations. Modeling frameworks can include VIC/VIC‑Crop Syst, CLM, and/or LDAS. Stakeholder engagement can include ongoing collaborations with FEWSNET and other NASA collaborators.
