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.
News
Developed by Stroud Water Research Center in collaboration with CUAHSI and other partners, the WikiWatershed suite of tools empowers water resource managers, scientists, educators, and students to explore how watersheds respond to environmental change, conservation efforts, and human impacts.
CUAHSI had the opportunity to reconnect with past WaterSoftHack fellows to reflect on their experiences, the unique training techniques they gained, and how they have since applied these methodologies in practice.
CUAHSI facilitated its 7th Snow Measurement Field School January 6-10, 2025 in Mammoth Lakes, CA at the Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory (SNARL).
HySetter: Hydroclimate Data Subsetter
March e-Newsletter Community Guest Spotlight with Taher Chegini, Postdoctoral Research Associate, Purdue University
Each winter, millions of tons of road salt are applied to highways and sidewalks to improve safety and mobility. While effective at melting ice and preventing accidents, this widespread use of salt has unintended environmental consequences that persist well beyond the winter months. Professors Amy Rhodes, Department of Geosciences, and Andrew Guswa, Picker Engineering Program of Smith College have been researching the effects of increased sodium (Na) and chloride (Cl) on wetland plants, sensitive ecosystems, and water quality in the Kampoosa Bog, an area near Stockbridge and Lee in Massachusetts (MA).
