[PCA] WEBINAR SERIES: Exploring the Rio Grande Basin; Sept. 25; 4:00 PM ET

[De Angelis, Patricia]

EXPLORING THE RIO GRANDE BASIN: Snowpack to River Flow Model Evaluation &
Snowpack Modeling



Webinar date/time: Sept. 25; 4:00 PM ET



Duration: 1 hour



What will you learn?

The Rio Grande River is a critical source of freshwater for 13 million
people in Colorado, Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico. More than half of the
Rio Grande’s streamflow originates as snowmelt in Colorado’s mountains, and
changes in the amount of snowmelt can impact the water supply for
communities along the entire river.



Dr. Clow will share progress on improving runoff forecast models for the
upper Rio Grande. Dr. Gutlzer will demonstrate how his project combines
historical data and climate model projections to assess and enhance
seasonal prediction models relating winter snowpack to subsequent runoff in
the upper Rio Grande. Both projects will ultimately provide water managers
will decision-making tools to improve water quantity and quality in the Rio
Grande Basin.



This is the opening webinar in the Exploring the Rio Grande Basin series
that will feature research on snowpack, hydrology, and systems modeling.



Presenters:

·         Dr. David Clow (USGS Colorado Water Science Center)

·         Dr. David Gutzler (University of New Mexico)



No pre-registration required.
