IDEAS: Innovative Development in Energy - Related Applied Science - Watersheds

Our nation’s watersheds are facing increasing stresses from growing demand, changes in land use, and Earth systems change. This project collaborates with lab partners to advance a community-driven software ecosystem to accelerate watershed science. We aim to understand the impacts of climate change on how watersheds function at a wide range of scales, especially regarding water quality.
