  1. How do water resources and agricultural decision-makers integrate GRACE data in decision-making?

To do: ask Sameer and Linda to provide specifics about the demands for these data

  1. What causes water to move? How does water move?
  2. How hard is it to quantify/measure/predict water evaporation? Is it as simple as computing the missing water?
  3. What "political barriers" are there in climate justice work?
  4. Can population data be incorporated into climate models? If so, how?
  5. Are there other major basins/areas that allocate water/resources on such a large scale (besides the CBR)?
  6. How important is it to understand the finer details of the relationship between gravity and water (i.e. how GRACE works)?
  7. (Probably a silly question) how challenging is filtering water/using ocean water to mediate water scarcity/insecurity?
  8. What role does soil moisture play in GRACE's measurements? Is "greenwater" picked up by GRACE?
  9. "Of the world’s 37 largest aquifer systems, 13 were found to be suffering critical depletion" -- what are these 37? And 13?
  10. What is the role of carbon in the hydrological cycle/climate change/etc.?
  11. Need to educate myself more on Earth's energy/energy imbalance -- how is this measured? What does it mean?
  12. How much work has been done on assimilating multiple types of data (to include GRACE) has been done? Where are there areas where the field is lacking?
  13. Were there any extreme flooding events in the CRB during the time when GRACE data was recorded?
  14. What's the spatial and temporal resolution of GRACE and GRACE-FO? How long have they been in service?
  15. Does USGS WatStore system, the Illinois State Water Survey, and published reports have data from wells from CRB? (Regional groundwater fluctuations)
  16. How should we think about quantifying uncertainty with GRACE data?
  17. To what degree can uncertainty from GRACE be quantified? Does it vary by region, time period, etc.?
  18. Do we need to apply statistical techniques for esimation/smoothing? Which should we use?
  19. What datasets do we need to combine with GRACE for our purposes?
