CUAHSI Announces 2009 Pathfinder Fellowships |
CUASHI has award four fellowships to support graduate student research as part of the Pathfinder Graduate Student Fellowship Program. The focus of the fellowship program is to assist graduate students in enriching their research program by moving beyond a "one site, one view" approach to research. The 2009 Pathfinder Fellows will receive travel support to conduct field research at an additional site or to collaborate with a research group using alternate modeling methods of those in a graduate student's current research program.
The recipients of this year's Fellowships are:
- Cody Hale, Department of Forest Engineering, Resources and Management, Oregon State University
- Kaiyu Guan, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Princeton University
- Kathleen Moore, Department of Geosciences, Oregon State University
- Jeffrey Muehlbauer, Curriculum for the Environment and Ecology, University of North Carolina
This is the inaugural year of the Pathfinder Fellowship Program. The four recipients were selected from a pool of fourteen applicants by a review panel consisting of David Freyberg (Stanford University), Laura Lautz (Syracuse University) and Albert Valocchi (University of Illinois).

NSF's Water Sustainability and Climate (WSC) Solicitation |
NSF released a major solicitation in January of great importance to the hydrologic science community. The solicitation reflects many of the discussions that have happened over the past several years on hydrologic observatories and the design of the WATERS Network. The solicitation explicitly requests a data handling strategy and mentions CUAHSI HIS. CUAHSI will not submit nor be a subawardee on any proposal to WSC because we don't want to compete with our community for resources. CUAHSI does have resources under its cooperative agreement to support the following services: (a). Training on the use of CUAHSI Water Data Services (aka HIS) including the development of regional servers that may serve regional consortia of universities and partners and (b). Community engagement through newsletters, web sites, and cyberseminars for projects.
These services are available to all who request them and a specific letter of commitment from CUAHSI is not required. Rather, the proposal can be developed with the assumption that such services are available and do not require additional resources. You can simply put a sentence in your proposal stating that you will use these services.
See the Water Sustainability and Climate (WSC) on NSF's website for more details.

Standing Committees Formed |
CUAHSI Standing Committees have formed for Education and Outreach, Informatics, Instrumentation, , Observations, Research Applications, and Synthesis. This will contribute to the Strategic Planning process that is now underway. Please contact the Board liaison for each committee (see list below) if you are interested in contributing to the standing committees' efforts. Links to the appropriate Standing Committee web page are also included.
