Want To Understand Drought? Follow The Water!

The video explores the research conducted at the Susquehanna Shale Hills Observatory, focusing on understanding the water cycle. Scientists and engineers use various instruments to study precipitation, transpiration, and the role of geology in water movement. The research aims to improve predictions of floods and droughts, especially in the context of climate change. Collaboration with European researchers and support from the National Science Foundation are highlighted as key components of this effort.
