Stefano Galelli's DARE project, funded by a $5 million grant from Schmidt Sciences, aims to create a comprehensive global record of how human impact has altered river systems over the past 75 years. Using satellite data and computational modeling, the project will track changes in river discharge, sediment transport, temperature, and fish biodiversity. Through the Virtual Institute for Earth's Water program, the goal is to provide climate solutions experts with a definitive account of the planet's freshwater resources, aiding in the development of effective strategies for sustainable water management.
