WaterSoftHack initiative aims to cultivate the workforce that creates, utilizes, and supports advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) workflows and tools to enable and potentially transform fundamental water science education and research. This is a multi-year NSF-funded project, dedicated to advancing water science research and education through the synergistic power of CI and machine learning training. This initiative is a collaborative effort led by Dr. Vidya Samadi from Clemson University, collaboratively with the University of Iowa, Tulane University, and CUAHSI.
Summer is in full swing and there's no shortage of news! Here's what's inside the July Newsletter: CUAHSI’s 25th anniversary reflection from Rick Hooper, submit an AGU abstract to one of four CUAHSI convened sessions, nominate someone for a CUAHSI community award, recent engagement activity, highlights from our Jobs page, and upcoming calendar dates.
This summer, educators, researchers, and hydrology professionals from across the United States and Canada came together for a HydroLearn–CIROH Workshop and Hackathon. HydroLearn is an open educational platform and community that helps educators collaboratively develop, share, and adapt high-quality learning resources for hydrology and water resources engineering.
Are you interested in bringing a CUAHSI talk or training to your campus or classroom? We welcome opportunities to connect with faculty and students through virtual or in-person seminar presentations, workshops, or interactive demonstrations. CUAHSI staff are available! These sessions are tailored to your audience and can be in-person or virtual. These visits introduce water researchers and students to CUAHSI programs and tools, support data-ready research practices, and help us connect with new communities. We welcome requests from member institutions, prospective members, and the broader water science community.
As part of CUAHSI's 25th anniversary, we're featuring a series of reflections from the people who have helped shape CUAHSI's story over the years. These pieces, written in each contributor's own words, share memories from formative moments in CUAHSI's history alongside perspectives on where the field is headed next.
Our first contributor is Rick Hooper, who served as CUAHSI's Executive Director from 2002 to 2017. In this piece, he revisits the founding question that shaped CUAHSI's creation and considers what it might mean for hydrologic science funding today.
Summer is just around the corner, but there's no shortage of news in the water science community! Here's some of what's inside: CUAHSI welcomes new staff, take a look at our founding institutions, attend our Spring Virtual Open House, nominate someone for a CUAHSI community award, register for the Geophysics Community Input workshop, and more!
When CUAHSI was incorporated in 2001, 33 universities across the country came together around a shared conviction: that advancing hydrologic science required infrastructure no single institution could build alone. See where those founding 33 were located on the map.
