ESSP Scientific Research Programs

Research at the GHCC seeks to better understand the global hydrologic cycle and its interaction with climate variability. In addition, the GHCC is integrating its research programs with the educational needs of climate and global change science curricula at the college and the pre-college levels to communicate the importance and challenges relating to the interactions of the hydrologic cycle with climate and climate variability.

Current ESSP research topics fall within the following categories:

• geophysical modeling and process investigations,
• land-surface processes and studies of atmospheric interactions,
• remote sensing and geophysical retrieval methods, and
• regional assessments and applications research.
