The WDC provides data services to the hydrologic science community and other critical-zone science communities that require access to various sources of water data to perform research on fundamental challenges in hydrology and Earth System science. Founded in 2001, the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI) is a 501(c)3 research organization representing more than 120 U.S. universities and international water science-related organizations.

Shale Network at the Rutgers' Earth and Planetary Sciences Spring Colloquium
Professor Sue Brantley, who is the Principal Investigator of the Shale Network project, will be presenting next week at Rutgers' Earth and Planetary Sciences Spring Colloquium. Professor Brantley's presentation, entitled Hydraulic Fracturing of Shales and Water Quality, will discuss how the Shale Network has gathered and analyzed water quality data in the Marcellus Shale region to examine the potential impacts of exploitation of natural gas through hydraulic fracturing (or fracking). The database that the Shale Network has developed is hosted by CUAHSI and the data are available in HydroDesktop through the power of HIS, which I highlighted in a previous post.
