HydroGeoSphere Research Highlight - Physics based hydrological modeling to predict soil moisture in a cold climate mesoscale catchment
-
Thank you @Keshav (one of our newest hires) for sharing his research with the rest of the team.
In this study HydroGeoSphere model was constructed for an agriculturally dominated watershed in the Red River Valley, Manitoba, to determine the soil moisture variability in cold climate in deeper soil layers. #climatechange is expected to produce more fluctuations in precipitation across the globe and cause more frequent extremes in soil moisture, including floods and drought which have major impacts on agriculture and infrastructure. Forecasting can help mitigate the impacts of soil moisture extremes by providing warnings about upcoming extreme events and prompt mitigation measures.
