Regional Climate Modeling Methodological And Experimental Designs, John F. Mejia
Regional Climate Modeling Methodological And Experimental Designs, John F. Mejia
2010 Annual Nevada NSF EPSCoR Climate Change Conference
21 PowerPoint slides Convener: Darko Koracin, DRI Session 5: Climate Modeling Abstract: This task aims to implement and develop transportable methodologies to improve the applicability of GCMs in climate impact, developing and using a state-of-the-art RCM based in WRF, and to provide these results to the research, education and decision making community.

Dynamical And Statistical Regional Climate Modeling Downscaling, Darko Koracin
2010 Annual Nevada NSF EPSCoR Climate Change Conference
17 PowerPoint slides Convener: Darko Koracin, DRI Session 5: Climate Modeling Abstract: -Provide improved regional climate models to get accurate climate trends in Nevada (inputs to hydrological models; parameterization of land atmosphere land-interactions; aerosol contribution to climate; feedback interactions among atmosphere, hydrology, and ecological processes; linking physical and economic models) -Assess future resources, variability, uncertainties, and socio-economic impact. Focus on water demand and supply in rural and urban Nevada. Select critical areas model for prediction applications. -Assess impact of climate change on air quality and urbanization -Provide an integrated GIS system (Geoinformatics) for water, energy and energy, economic parameters -Collaborate …

Water Source Partitioning For Shrubland Transpiration Using Innovative Field Methods, Dale A. Devitt, Michael Young, Matthew S. Lachniet, Jeremy Koonce, Amanda Wagner, Brian M. Bird, J. Healey
2010 Annual Nevada NSF EPSCoR Climate Change Conference
37 PowerPoint slides Convener: Franco Biondi, UNR & Michael Young, DRI Session 4: Ecological Change and Water Resources Abstract: -Climate change models predict a decline in precipitation over the next few decades throughout much of the southwest. -Such change has the potential to shift water uptake dynamics of phreatophytes -If groundwater pumping also occurs, the impact of climate change could be exacerbated. -A better understanding of the forces that drive the coupling and decoupling of phreatophytes to groundwater is needed.
