In this research, we characterized the changes in the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) monthly total water storage anomaly (TWSA) in 18 surface basins and 12 principal aquifers in the conterminous United States during 2003–2016.

The evaluation of historical water use in the Upper Rio Grande Basin (URGB), United States and Mexico, using Landsat-derived actual evapotranspiration (ETa) from 1986 to 2015 is presented here as the first study of its kind to apply satellite observations to quantify long-term, basin-wide crop consumptive use in a large basin.

Members of the North Central Climate Adaptation Science Center (NC CASC) organized and facilitated the Building Resilience with Tribal Technical Teams workshop hosted by the Sac and Fox Nation of Missouri in Kansas and Nebraska on June 18 and 19, 2019.

The NC CASC Annual Consortium Partner was held on June 4th at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Representatives from the Great Plains Tribal Water Alliance, Conservation Science Partners, South Dakota State University, the University of Montana, and Wildlife Conservation Society met with NC CASC.

NC CASC intern Rebecca Reath is a senior at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado, with a concentration in Biological and Geospatial Sciences. She will be assisting the NC CASC and the CASC network.

Tori Pfaeffle joined the NC CASC as an intern in June. Tori received her Master of Arts in International Studies, with a concentration in international development and Latin American studies from the Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver, in 2018.
