Remote sensing products for hydrologic prediction

Several projects have focused on developing applications for remotely sensed data from satellites for operational streamflow prediction.  We have explored data such as snow water equivalent, snow covered area, potential evapotranspiration, and soil moisture for use in hydrologic models. 

Collaborators: Angela Bowman, Tyler Madsen Ryan Spies, David Dziubanski, Logan Karsten (ISU), Terri Hogue, Kyle Knipper (CSM), Mohammad Barik (UCLA)

Funding has come from NASA and the UCAR COMET program

 The Watershed Community Model

A simple agent-based model to support social capital building, storytelling, and collaborative action across a watershed

Collaborators: Linda Shenk and Laura Merrick and ISU, and Story County Conservation
