Why look at winter soil moisture? Drier soils take up more spring snowmelt than wet soils, so a dry late autumn one year may mean lower runoff the following year. In this way, soils create a memory of drought from year to year.

In this Yale Climate Connections article, AGCI's Martín Bonzi and Energy Innovation Policy & Technology LLC®'s Sarah Spengeman discuss how agrivoltaics researchers are finding multiple benefits from pairing solar power and crops production, which can increase citizen engagement and support for solar development.

This project looks at climate variables impacting water supply of the Colorado River in the Upper Yampa and Roaring Fork watersheds.

Produced in collaboration with Kuheli Dutt (MIT), this three-minute illustrated explainer video steps through how to recognize and counter implicit biases that stymie efforts to create more inclusive, diverse, and innovative scientific spaces.

Recent research evaluates how agrivoltaics -- co-locating solar electricity generation and agricultural production -- may achieve sustainable energy and food goals while possibly reducing local opposition to solar energy deployment.
