Research
The Foundation of Our Research:
The foundation of the Global Center’s research is built upon the intersection of three pillars: Hydrologic Science (HC), Ecosystem Function and Water Quality (EWQ), and Climate-Ready Communities and Transboundary Governance (CRTG).
What We Aim to Accomplish:
Through our research, outreach, and engagement initiatives, we are dedicated to fortifying the resilience of communities and ecosystems in transboundary water systems, with a particular focus on Indigenous Peoples. Our overarching objective at Our Global Center is to ensure that the data, models, and model outputs reflecting these critical connections are not only relevant and accessible but also easily comprehensible for practitioners, decision-makers, and the general public. Our research will advance the development of effective and fair water resources management strategies.
Our Research Commitments:
We are committed to empowering evidence-based decision-making and inspiring action to combat the escalating water crises and climate change-induced hazards. We recognize the utmost importance of involving marginalized populations in the co-creation of scientific knowledge and decision-making processes. This commitment strengthens Our Global Center's ability to make a lasting impact. The scientific and community-engagement models we are developing are designed to be replicable and scalable for communities worldwide as we expand our global outreach and network engagement in the years to come.
