The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering this cooperative agreement to advance physically based snow and hydrologic modeling capabilities. This grant is for improving the representation of high-resolution climate and snow hydrology processes within models, specifically in mountainous environments, to enhance water resource prediction in snow-dominated regions. The USGS Water Mission Area’s Snow Hydrology and Predictive Understanding of Multiscale Processes (PUMP) projects aim to develop multi-scale integrated modeling. This research will expand existing snow modeling approaches, enabling more accurate forecasting of water availability for both human consumption and the needs of aquatic ecosystems.

| Description: | Funding Opportunity Description The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to advance physically based snow process modeling of water resources in snow dominated regions. The objective of the agreement is to advance Water Mission Area’s (WMA) physically based snow and hydrologic modeling capabilities, and specifically to advance the capability to improve representation of high-resolution climate and snow hydrology processes in mountainous environments within these models. The work will contribute to our Upper Colorado River Basin and national modeling efforts.
Research Objectives U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Snow Hydrology project and Predictive Understanding of Multiscale Processes (PUMP) project of the Integrated Water Prediction (IWP) program are announcing the potential availability of funding for an agreement with the purposes of soliciting research to improve representation of regional climate (current and future conditions) and high resolution snow processes in models to allow for more accurate prediction of water resources in snow dominated regions. Research Scientists within WMA are developing multi-scale integrated modeling capabilities within the Snow Hydrology and PUMP projects. This research will advance our capabilities by expanding our snow modeling approaches for evaluating and predicting water availability for humans and aquatic ecosystems. |
