CIROH Developers Conference 2024

The CIROH team recently participated in the 2nd Annual CIROH Developers Conference (DevCon24), held from May 29th to June 1st,2024. The conference brought together a diverse group of water professionals to exchange knowledge and explore cutting-edge research in the field of hydrological forecasting.

Reflecting CIROH's current research focus, the conference explored topics including hydrological modeling (NextGen), flood inundation mapping, hydroinformatics, social science, and community engagement. Attendees got the opportunity to delve deeper into specific areas through its well-structured training track. This year the tracks were:

• NextGen
• Flood Inundation Mapping (FIM)
• Hydrological Applications of Machine Learning (ML)
• Hydroinformatics
• Cross-cutting

This year, various workshops leveraged cloud technologies. Notably, we provided access to the 2i2c JupyterHub environment, a cloud-based platform for interactive computing, for ten workshops. This facilitated seamless access to powerful computing resources for participants. Additionally, we provided AWS instances to support four workshops.

AWRA 2024 Spring Conference

The CIROH CyberInfrastructure team recently participated in the AWRA 2024 Spring Conference, co-hosted by the Alabama Water Institute at the University of Alabama.

Themed "Water Risk and Resilience: Research and Sustainable Solutions," the conference brought together a diverse group of water professionals to exchange knowledge and explore cutting-edge research in the field.

CIROH CyberInfrastructure team presented on these topics:

• Accelerating Community Contribution to the Next Generation Water Resources Modeling Framework
• Creating a community dataset for high-speed national water model data access
• Model structure selection for the flood and drought predictions using the NextGen Framework based on the extreme event simulations

CIROH team member James Halgren presented the work on "Accelerating Community Contribution to the Next Generation Water Resources Modeling Framework." The presentation focused on building and sharing a continuous research data stream using the NextGen Water Resources Modeling Framework with NextGen IN A Box (NGIAB). This project, a collaboration with Lynker members, showcases the potential for open-source tools and community-driven efforts to advance water resources modeling and research.

CIROH team member Sepehr Karimi presented the work on "Creating a community dataset for high-speed national water model data access"

CIROH team member Shahab Alam presented the work on "Model structure selection for the flood and drought predictions using the NextGen Framework based on the extreme event simulations"

These presentations showcased CIROH's expertise in open-source tools, community-driven efforts, and water resources modeling. The team's contributions sparked insightful discussions and potential collaborations for future projects.
