Tomorrow: What's New and What's Coming in HydroDesktop


Join us tomorrow, April 3, 2013 at 3 PM (Eastern) for the next installment of this Spring's HIS Cyberseminar Series. This week will feature Dr. Daniel P. Ames who leads the development of HydroDesktop at Brigham Young University:

HydroDesktop is the most widely used portal to the 95+ data sources registered in the CUAHSI Hydrologic Information System (HIS). HydroDesktop is a free and open source Geographic Information System-based tool that enables searching, downloading, visualizing, and analyzing of hydrologic and climate data registered in the CUAHSI HIS. As a research and development project, the HydroDesktop team, led by Brigham Young University, periodically releases new iterations of the software which is driven by user defined bug reports and feature requests facilitated by a web based software management system at http://hydrodesktop.codeplex.com. Dr. Dan Ames, the HydroDesktop project lead, will discuss this open source development process, will also detail the newest features in the current recommended release, version 1.5.12, and will discuss proposed features proposed for 2013 and beyond.
