Addressing these challenges requires <strong>reliable, spatially consistent hydrological simulations at the catchment scale</strong>, capable of linking atmospheric processes with surface water responses across diverse climatic and physiographic conditions. High-quality, integrated climate–hydrology information is therefore essential to support robust scientific analysis and evidence-based decision-making.</p> <h3 id="project-description">Project description</h3> <p><strong>SICLO</strong> is a four-year research project (December 2025–November 2029) funded by the Chilean National Agency for Research and Development ( ) under the <em>Concurso IDeA I+D Tecnologías Avanzadas 2025</em> call. The project aims to develop an <strong>integrated climate service for continental Chile</strong> by coupling satellite-based observations, regional climate modeling, and distributed surface hydrological modeling.</p> <p>The SICLO framework will generate physically consistent estimates of key atmospheric and hydrological variables across <strong>historical, near-real-time, and future climate scenarios</strong>, with a particular emphasis on catchment-scale processes. The resulting datasets and modeling tools are designed to support hydrological analysis, impact assessment, and the evaluation of climate-driven changes in water availability and extremes.</p> <p>The project (<em>ANID-TA25I10030: SICA – Integrated Climate and Water System in Chile</em>) is led by the Center for Climate and Resilience Research (CR2) and brings together a multidisciplinary team of researchers and professionals, including Juan P. Boisier (Director, PI), Camila Alvarez-Garreton (Co-Director, PI), Mauricio Galleguillos, <strong>Mauricio Zambrano-Bigiarini</strong>, Francisca Muñoz, René Garreaud, and Pilar Barría.</p>
