Gregory Rouze, PhD

Dr. Gregory Rouze has been involved with hydrology and landscape modeling projections research with the USGS since 2022. 

Dr. Gregory Rouze has been involved with hydrology and landscape modeling projections research with the USGS since 2022. Research spans the use of both diagnostic and prognostic water modeling, as well as projecting potential landscape futures using the FOREcasing SCEnarios (FORE-SCE) landscape model.

Science and Products

Long-term database of historical, current, and future land cover for the Delaware River Basin (1680 through 2100)

The USGS's FORE-SCE model was used to produce a long-term landscape dataset for the Delaware River Basin (DRB). Using historical landscape reconstruction and scenario-based future projections, the data provided land-use and land-cover (LULC) data for the DRB from year 1680 through 2100, with future projections from 2020-2100 modeled for 7 different socioeconomic-based scenarios, and 3 climate real

Prototyping a methodology for long-term (1680-2100) historical-to-future landscape modeling for the conterminous United States

Land system change has been identified as one of four major Earth system processes where change has passed a destabilizing threshold. A historical record of landscape change is required to understand the impacts change has had on human and natural systems, while scenarios of future landscape change are required to facilitate planning and mitigation efforts. A methodology for modeling long-term his
