Welcome to the Synthesis Project Website
Welcome to the Web home for the NSF-funded research project “Water Cycle Dynamics in a Changing Environment: Advancing Hydrologic Science through Synthesis,” based within the Center for Water as a Complex Environmental System and the Institute for Sustainability of Intensively Managed Landscapes at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This page is designed to inform the scientific community, and society-at-large about the purpose, objectives and impacts for this project, as well as the people and research centers involved. Biosphere 2 in Oracle, Arizona is just one facility where project activities are underway (photo at right).
Purpose
The aim of this project is to conduct a range of synthesis activities that will produce transformational outcomes in the critical research area of “improving predictability of water cycle dynamics in a changing environment,” which will serve as an effective model of synthesis within the hydrological community.

Interaction
Collaboration between University partners is fundamental to project success and ultimately, 'synthesis' within the hydrologic community. To this end, a cybercollaboratory, hosted by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, for project participants is available.
Partners
This synthesis project involves researchers from institutions throughout the United States and the world.
