Welcome to the CAPE
Cooperative Alliance for Prediction of the Environment

at the University of Calgary

CAPE builds tools to simulate and predict hydrological processes. We span spatial scales from hillslopes to continents and time scales from seconds to centuries. Some of our example contributions include ensemble forcing data for large-domain hydrological models, multi-scale hydrological models, continental-domain network routing models, ensemble methods for data assimilation, and process-based methods for model benchmarking and model evaluation. Much of our model development work is targeted toward applications in streamflow forecasting, water security assessments, and improving the representation of hydrological processes in Earth System models.

About CAPE: We bring together observations, models, and data science to improve understanding and prediction of hydrological processes across scales from hillslopes to continents.
