Through the mighty waves and gentle streams of Earth’s waters flow countless opportunities for scientific discovery.
Scientists with the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s (ERDC’s) Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL) are exploring potential opportunities by utilizing Global Hydro Intelligence (GHI) to answer questions about the nation’s bodies of water and the possibilities available for scientists to research.
GHI – a collaboration between ERDC, NASA, the U.S. Air Force, the National Geospatial Agency, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory – is the integration of remote sensing, atmospheric, land surface, and hydrological models that provide on-demand hydrological data at the global scale to support U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) contingencies and resource protection and provide data to answer water security-related questions.
