Current Research

Each of our current research activities can be broken into one of three categories: Scientific Assessments, Water and Climate Products, and Community Outreach.For a list of activities in each category click on any of the links below.

·        Scientific Assessments: Using models, analyses, surveys, written reports, and presentations, we hope to identify and characterize regional vulnerabilities to climate variability and change for use by Intermountain water-resource decision makers.

·        Water and Climate Products: Develop information, products and processes to assist water resource decision makers throughout the Intermountain West.  This information is then provided to decision makers in the form of datasets, documents, websites and other products to enable more informed decision making.

·        Outreach to User Groups: Using workshops, personal interactions, web sites and written documents, we hope to communicate climate and hydrology information to key water-resource decision makers. The goal being to increase decision makers level of knowledge about climate science so they can become better consumers and demanders of climate products and assessments, and help WWA set its research agenda
