</span><span style="letter-spacing:-.05pt">work on </span>developing land surface models to understand where green infrastructure (i.e., wetland restoration, riparian forest restoration, prairie strips) could impact short term hydrologic storage. This work
is funded by Levi-Strauss & Co and a collaboration with the 501c3 non-profit, The Earth Genome (earthgenome.org). The project goal is to help Levi Strauss & Co develop science-based water sustainability targets relevant to their operations in Lahore and the
River Ravi catchment (part of the larger Indus River system). Though the project will initially start in the Indus system, the postdoc will contribute to an ASU-Earth Genome collaboration that aims to apply cutting edge hydrologic science to develop global
data support systems for the private sector. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-left:0in">Fellows will build water resources models that contribute to the design of an API to mine stored data to create flexible scenarios. The postdoctoral fellow’s primary responsibility is the hydrology within a land
surface model (e.g., Variable Infiltration Capacity model) but will have extensive interactions with Levi Strauss, Earth Genome and several other relevant ASU research units including CBO (<a href="https://sustainability.asu.edu/biodiversityoutcomes/">https://sustainability.asu.edu/biodiversityoutcomes/</a>),
Future H2O (<a href="https://futureh2o.asu.edu/">https://futureh2o.asu.edu/</a>) and the Decision Theater Network (<a href="https://dt.asu.edu/">https://dt.asu.edu/</a>). Fellows will also receive leadership and science communication training via CBO.<o:p></o:p></p>
