U.S.-Chile Program: Integrated Water Resource Analysis of the Secano Interior and Secano Costero of Chile

0203787塞尔克这个美国-智利奖将资助约翰S。作者声明：Richard H.昆卡，俄勒冈州州立大学，先生大卫E。鲁普，俄勒冈州，和博士马克B。约翰霍普金斯大学的Parlange，与国家农业研究所的Oscar Reckmann博士、塔尔卡大学的Samuel Ortega博士和智利天主教大学的Eduardo Varas博士合作。 他们的项目将是模拟和描述一个具有地中海气候和高坡度，低渗透性土壤的地区，智利Secano Interior和Secano Costero的水预算。 该系统的研究将包括实地测量和建模的整合，利用数据分析、计算方法的重要进展，以及即将推出的高分辨率全球数字高程模型，这一国际合作将提高我们在确定半干旱地区水资源收支时空分布方面的科学知识。 智利人将获得水资源分析新方法和仪器方面的技术专门知识，并增加他们对本国贫困地区水文通量的了解。

0203787SelkerThis US-Chile award will fund a collaborative project between Drs. John S. Selker and Richard H. Cuenca of Oregon State University, Mr. David E. Rupp, Oregon State, and Dr. Mark B. Parlange of Johns Hopkins University, in collaboration with Drs. Oscar Reckmann, Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Agropecuarias, Samuel Ortega, Universidad de Talca, and Eduardo Varas, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile. Their project will be to model and characterize the water budget in a region with a Mediterranean climate and high-slope, low permeability soils, the Chilean Secano Interior and Secano Costero. The investigation of this system will involve the integration of field measurement and modeling, taking advantage of important advances in methods of data analysis, computation, and the upcoming availability of high resolution global digital elevation models.This international collaboration will advance our scientific knowledge in determining the spatial and temporal distribution of the water budget in semi-arid regions. The Chileans will gain technical expertise in new methods and instrumentation for water resource analysis and increase their understanding of the hydrologic fluxes in an impoverished region of their country.
