About Future H2O
Future H2O’s mission is to guide decision makers to optimize the tradeoffs they face for water—drawing on cutting-edge science, best available data, and high-fidelity, breakthrough algorithms and analysis.
Future H20 Founding Director John Sabo is a Professor of River Ecology and Water Resources in the School of Life Sciences and Founding Director of Future H2O in the Office of Knowledge Enterprise Development at Arizona State University. He is also a Senior Sustainability Scientist in the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability, a Fellow in the Institute for the Future of Innovation in Society, an Honors Faculty in the Barrett Honors College, and serves on the Graduate Faculty in the Hydrosystems Engineering Graduate Program.
Sabo is a river food web ecologist and has designed and implemented large scale field experiments to understand the role of aquatic-terrestrial energy flow on terrestrial food web dynamics as well as the dynamic effects of ground water on surface water food webs. His research has been published in top journals including Ecology, Ecological Monographs, Ecology Letters, Global Change Biology, Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, PNAS, and Science.
Future H2O at Arizona State University is helping create a future of global water abundance and opportunity through solutions-oriented research and implementation partnerships with the world’s biggest corporations, NGOs, transboundary multinationals, venture funds and public institutions.
