As part of CUAHSI's 25th anniversary, we're featuring a series of reflections from some of the people who have helped shape CUAHSI’s story over the years. Our next invited contributor is Hoori Ajami, CUAHSI Board of Directors, Chair-Elect 2027.
Summer is in full swing and there's no shortage of news! Here's what's inside the July Newsletter: CUAHSI’s 25th anniversary reflection from Rick Hooper, submit an AGU abstract to one of four CUAHSI convened sessions, nominate someone for a CUAHSI community award, recent engagement activity, highlights from our Jobs page, and upcoming calendar dates.
This summer, educators, researchers, and hydrology professionals from across the United States and Canada came together for a HydroLearn–CIROH Workshop and Hackathon. HydroLearn is an open educational platform and community that helps educators collaboratively develop, share, and adapt high-quality learning resources for hydrology and water resources engineering.
Are you interested in bringing a CUAHSI talk or training to your campus or classroom? We welcome opportunities to connect with faculty and students through virtual or in-person seminar presentations, workshops, or interactive demonstrations. CUAHSI staff are available! These sessions are tailored to your audience and can be in-person or virtual. These visits introduce water researchers and students to CUAHSI programs and tools, support data-ready research practices, and help us connect with new communities. We welcome requests from member institutions, prospective members, and the broader water science community.
CUAHSI's 25th Anniversary Reflections: A Challenge for Today’s Hydrologic Scientists, by Rick Hooper
As part of CUAHSI's 25th anniversary, we're featuring a series of reflections from the people who have helped shape CUAHSI's story over the years. These pieces, written in each contributor's own words, share memories from formative moments in CUAHSI's history alongside perspectives on where the field is headed next.
Our first contributor is Rick Hooper, who served as CUAHSI's Executive Director from 2002 to 2017. In this piece, he revisits the founding question that shaped CUAHSI's creation and considers what it might mean for hydrologic science funding today.
Summer is just around the corner, but there's no shortage of news in the water science community! Here's some of what's inside: CUAHSI welcomes new staff, take a look at our founding institutions, attend our Spring Virtual Open House, nominate someone for a CUAHSI community award, register for the Geophysics Community Input workshop, and more!

Navigating Academic Waters: The Scientist Behind the Science - The Power of Storytelling in Academic and Professional Spaces
Our identities, experiences, and perspectives shape the science we do and the paths we take, and storytelling is how we communicate those experiences and connect them to our research. The ability to translate complex ideas into meaningful narratives is a powerful yet often overlooked scientific skill. The stories we tell influence not only how others understand our science, but also how they understand us as scientists. This seminar will highlight that science is not separate from the scientist, and that storytelling is an essential skill for applications, grants, networking, leadership, outreach, and career transitions. Whether crafting the "why" behind a grant proposal, writing a personal statement for graduate school, or communicating research to various audiences, participants will leave this seminar with tangible tools to improve their storytelling skills and their ability to share their story.
