This FAQ was developed for the WUCA CMIP6 Working Group as guidance for water managers with little or no previous experience with CMIP6 and other climate-model datasets. The goal was to develop a dozen or so highly relevant questions — and clear responses — to aid in the use and interpretation of CMIP6 datasets, with a focus on the contiguous United States. Each question in the FAQ has a “short answer” (1–2 paragraphs) and a “long answer” (2–5 pages), including figures where appropriate, recommendations for further reading, and other references. A glossary and reference list are also available at the end of the document.

This guidebook features clear, user-friendly information about how soil moisture is measured and how soil moisture data can be applied to understand current and future water supplies. It provides context on soil moisture data and its use in mountain watersheds, discussed through the lens of interests and questions expressed by community members in the Roaring Fork who work in water management, municipalities, agriculture, conservation, recreation, and education.

This report shares the design for a collaborative process for testing innovative approaches to doing research — a test bed, for short — that leverages existing research efforts and articulates strategies for accelerating the science resource managers are seeking to address this need. https://doi.org/10.69925/VCBQ9771

This report summarizes the state of knowledge of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in the context of coastal climate adaptation in the United States and identifies numerous challenges and opportunities.
