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.
"CUAHSI plays a one-of-a-kind and vital role connecting and engaging the academic community in the hydrological sciences. CUAHSI has succeeded in providing academic researchers, faculty, and graduate students with a consistent and well-resourced hub for academic exchange, data and modeling tools, conferences, training, and cross-disciplinary, trans-institutional programming. CUAHSI's leadership has also done a great job expanding and formalizing its services yet staying focused on its core mission and audience. As a user of CUAHSI services and leader of CUAHSI-sponsored training workshops, I am consistently impressed by the excellence of CUAHSI staff in all they do. I hope that CUAHSI continues to succeed in its fundraising efforts and remains a thriving organization that so many of us in the hydrological sciences lean-on and benefit from." - Scott H. Ensign, Ph.D., Assistant Director, Vice President, Research Scientist, Stroud Water Research Center
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.
