Navigating Academic Waters: Reframing research language for impactful and relevant Broader Impact statements
Aug 27, 2025 / 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM ET
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.
Navigating Academic Waters: Highlighting Skill Sets for Careers Outside of Academia
Sep 17, 2025 / 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Many essential skills that graduate students develop during their studies can be valuable in non-academic careers. Join us for a discussion with professionals from industry, state/local government, and nonprofits as they share their insights and tips for early-career researchers, scientists, and professionals looking to succeed in careers outside of academia. This seminar will focus on how to identify key skill sets and develop new ones necessary for a successful career outside of academia. Topics will include guidance on finding non-academic jobs, resume building, interview preparation, and expanding your professional network.
National Water Availability Assessment: Understanding the Science
Sep 24, 2025 / 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM ET
This webinar will highlight the key findings from the National Water Availability Assessment, including those related to water supply, water quality, water use, future water resources, and integrated water availability.
Navigating Academic Waters: Expanding Funding Landscape: Non-Federal Funding Opportunities
Oct 8, 2025 / 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET
Securing funding remains a critical challenge in academia. As traditional federal sources become increasingly competitive or constrained, diversifying funding streams is becoming more important in hydrology and environmental science. This seminar will focus on identifying and navigating non-federal funding opportunities from a broad range of funding bodies, including nonprofit organizations, state, and local agencies. Through expert presentations and interactive discussion, participants will explore strategies for finding relevant grant opportunities, developing competitive proposals, and aligning our project goals with funder missions.
National Water Availability Assessment: Leveraging the Science with the Data Companion
Oct 22, 2025 / 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM ET
This webinar will walk you through how to access, download, and use nationally-consistent modeled water data from the National Water Availability Assessment Data Companion. We will also highlight new features since the first release, including newly published datasets available for water researchers and managers.
Navigating Academic Waters: Leveraging AI and Data Science in Hydrology
Nov 5, 2025 / 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data science are transforming environmental research by enabling more accurate predictions, deeper insights, and innovative solutions to complex challenges. This seminar will highlight how these tools are being applied in hydrology and related fields to improve modeling, forecasting, and decision-making. Join us for an engaging panel discussion featuring experts working at the intersection of data science and environmental science. Topics will include emerging methodologies, open-source platforms, cross-sector collaboration opportunities, and the evolving skill sets needed in this data-driven landscape. Whether you are a student, early-career researcher, or established professional, this seminar will offer valuable insights into the role of AI and data science in shaping the future of environmental science and water-related fields.
National Water Availability Assessment: Communicating the Science with Data Science and Visualizations
Nov 19, 2025 / 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM ET
The National Water Availability Assessment was a large-scale effort that relied on multiple teams of scientists from various hydrologic disciplines, employing differing modeling, programming, and visualization approaches. This webinar will present this coordination process, our approach, and aspects of our process to provide lessons learned for others undertaking similar interdisciplinary, large-scale projects.
