The GEWEX Global Groundwater Network’s mission is to constructively link hydrogeology and groundwater modeling to Earth System modeling in the Hydroclimate Panel (GHP) of GEWEX and beyond (https://www.gewex.org/ggn/). The Global Groundwater Network brings together scientists from the hydrogeologic and groundwater flow modeling communities with the land surface and Earth system modeling communities to formulate a concrete, multi-year science and research agenda. The Network will focus on contributing the hydrogeologic perspective to Earth system modeling. We encourage hydrogeologists and Earth system modeling community to actively participate in the Global Groundwater Network by contributing their expertise and actively shaping the groundwater modeling agenda in Earth system modeling and GEWEX.

The core activities as part of Global Groundwater Network’s mission are to build a strong community and establish a constructive, consistent voice for hydrogeology and groundwater modeling in Earth system modeling and GEWEX framework; include hydrogeologists and groundwater modelex into GEWEX and WCRP working groups and panels for dialogue; identify benefits and opportunities for injecting hydrogeology and groundwater modeling into Earth system modeling and GEWEX; define a scientific agenda of hydrogeology and groundwater modeling in Earth system modeling and GHP, GEWEX; training in hydrogeologic and groundwater flow modeling best practices.
