We'll show you how to find and access datasets and stream data directly into the libraries you use for analysis and research. - 12:30 pm: Hydrological Process Knowledge Hub: Bringing Together Knowledge Across the Water Science Community
Learn about CUAHSI's work supporting the Hydrological Process Knowledge Hub, which brings together two complementary resources for advancing hydrologic process understanding across site, regional, and continental scales. We will share CUAHSI's role in convening the community and bringing together research, data science, and engineering to support this work, and discuss how the Hub could inform modeling practices and whether it could serve as a trusted knowledge source for AI. - 12:45 pm: Upcoming Events and Opportunities
Updates on upcoming CUAHSI events and opportunities, including the Water Prediction Innovators Summer Institute.
Breakout Discussions
