The Water Resources Podcast is designed to conduct interviews with experts to discuss challenges with water resources related to climate, such as droughts and floods, and overexploitation by humans. Potential solutions to these challenges are also discussed. Regions covered range from local to global scale, and approaches considered include satellite and ground-based monitoring, and global to regional modeling. The podcast is hosted by Bridget Scanlon, Bureau of Economic Geology, Jackson School of Geosciences, The University of Texas at Austin. The Water Resources Podcast is a production of the Bureau of Economic Geology, The Jackson School of Geosciences at the University of Texas at Austin in partnership with the National Academy of Engineering. The podcast is supported by the Fisher Foundation.
Wolfgang Kinzelbach is a Professor Emeritus of Hydromechanics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich (Switzerland). His research focused on many aspects of hydrogeology, including modeling and monitoring of water quantity and quality. This podcast focuses on his work in China, including the North China Plain and the Tarim Basin.
Huilin Gao discusses advances in reservoir monitoring using models and new remote sensing, providing daily evaporation rates for Texas, western U.S., and global scales.
Augusto Getirana discusses global flooding in 2025, the new SWOT satellite, advances in NASA modeling and flood work in Brazil.
Nathalie Voisin discusses water-electricity interconnection, highlighting hydropower, hydropower droughts, grid reliability, and future of water-energy management.
Dennis Lettenmaier discusses trends in snow, flooding, and drought in the Western U.S. with a focus on the Colorado River Basin.
Di Long discusses his research on the water resources in the Tibetan Plateau Asian Water Tower, reservoirs in the Mekong Basin, and water storage recovery in the North China Plain.
Manoo Shirzaei discusses land subsidence in many regions globally, including Iran, California, Arizona, and U.S. Coast based on satellite data.
