Abstract

Given the vision and mission statements for GRAPHIC above, this document provides an updated framework for the GRAPHIC program. The approach to addressing global issues under the GRAPHIC umbrella involves case studies designed to cover a broad range of the identified Subjects, Methods, and Regions. Interdependencies of factors and processes affecting subsurface water are discussed first, followed by Subjects and Methods, including water quantity, geochemical indicators, paleo-indicators, proxy information, geophysical methods, remote sensing, information systems, simulation and modeling approaches, and management and policy implications, including feedbacks related to adaption strategies.
