Welcome to the Virginia Ecoforecast Reservoir Analysis (VERA) Forecasting Challenge, hosted by the Virginia Tech Center for Ecosystem Forecasting (CEF) as part of the Virginia Reservoirs LTREB program.
We invite you to submit forecasts! Your forecasts will automatically be scored and cataloged using our cyberinfrastructure.
Why a forecasting challenge?
We are using forecasts to compare the predictability of different physical, chemical, and biological variables across varying environmental conditions to identify the fundamental predictability of freshwater ecosystems.
The VERA forecasting challenge is one component of the Virginia Reservoirs LTREB project, which is monitoring two connected drinking water supply reservoirs with contrasting dissolved oxygen conditions to broadly advance our understanding of freshwater ecosystem processes.
