ARSET Training Announcement: Monitoring Groundwater Changes for Water Resources Management

[ARSET - sarah.cutshall]

Monitoring Groundwater Changes for Water Resources Management

This three-part, advanced training focuses on satellite remote sensing data for looking at groundwater. Groundwater is a vital resource, especially in arid regions where surface water is limited. Aquifers in certain regions of the world are being depleted by unsustainable groundwater pumping to support irrigated agriculture, including in southern High Plains and Central Valley aquifers in the U.S., northern India, the North China Plain, and parts of the Middle East. In this training, participants will gain an overview of Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment and Follow-On (GRACE/GRACE-FO), Observational Products for End-Users from Remote Sensing Analysis surface displacement products (OPERA-DISP), and Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) data for assessing seasonal to interannual groundwater changes at various spatial scales. The training will provide hands-on experience in accessing and analyzing these products for groundwater applications.
