Community
CUAHSI’s multidisciplinary community consists of students, educators, researchers, volunteer scientists, outreach coordinators, environmental and watershed organizations, and corporate entities. Our goal is for all who are involved in water science, water-resources management or water-resources protection and enhancement to find a place in the CUAHSI community.
We facilitate the sharing of resources, information, and expertise across a diverse range of disciplines to collaboratively solve problems from different perspectives. Resources and programs of interest relevant to the broader water science community are compiled here. Please contact us at email hidden; JavaScript is required if you have a resource that you would like to make available to the community or if you are interested in partnering on a project. Please fill out this form if you have a job you'd like posted on the CUAHSI job board.
CZNet
The Critical Zone Collaborative Network
CUAHSI is the Coordinating Hub for the Critical Zone Collaborative Network (CZNet), the next phase of NSF’s Critical Zone research program. The CZNet is comprised of nine Thematic Clusters with a wide range of geological, climatic, and land use settings that provide an opportunity to better understand the critical zone - earth's outer skin where rock, soil, water, air, and life interact. CUAHSI's CZ Hub activities enhance existing CUAHSI water data services, broaden the CUAHSI community, and build on CUAHSI's strengths of education and community support.

Navigating Academic Waters: Reframing research language for impactful and relevant Broader Impact statements
This seminar will focus on supporting early career researchers such as graduate students, postdocs, and early stage faculty, as they navigate NSF proposal writing (postdoctoral fellowships, GRFP, CAREER). The panel will include professionals such as NSF program managers, university deans, mid-career professors with experience shifting language, and mid- to late-career government researchers who have experience with administration turnover.
