In Progress

The Dryland Ecohydrology Team’s research is supported primarily by land management agencies. This team collaborates with regional agency partners to develop information that strengthens resource management in an era of rapid global change. They seek to communicate the magnitude and uncertainty of expected climate impacts while promoting optimism in the face of daunting 21st century resource management challenges.
