Today, Dr. Couch spoke at the 2nd OpenWater Symposium in Brussels. This symposium "aims at sharing experiences, tools, training materials and model codes applicable in the water domain." Dr. Couch represented the WDC with his invited talk entitled Toward a Global Water Data Infrastructure: Lessons Learned and Future of the CUAHSI Hydrologic Information System.

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.

Now Accepting Applications for 2013 Pathfinder Fellowships
Last week, the application period for the 2013 CUAHSI Pathfinder Fellowships opened. The Pathfinder Fellowship program is an avenue for CUAHSI to support graduate students in conducting field research. It enables students to travel to an additional field site to conduct comparative research, to collaborate with a research group using alternate approaches or modeling methods, or to work with researchers on adding an interdisciplinary dimension to a water science research project.
Want to know more about the research being enabled? Click here to check out the research that was done by the 2012 Pathfinder Fellows.
Want to apply? Visit the CUAHSI website to download the application materials.
Important Pathfinder Dates
- Application period opens: August 28, 2013
- Application due: October 18, 2013
- Notification of recipients will be made by November 29, 2013
- Travel funds will be available starting February 1, 2014

HydroDesktop Demo and World Water Week
Although it does not have any narration or sound, I've posted a new HydroDesktop demo video on YouTube. The video does not have any sound because I made it for inclusion in a looping powerpoint about the WDC that our Executive Director, Rick, will take with him to World Water Week in a couple weeks. Rick along with film researcher Linda Lilienfeld will be convening a seminar on Let's Talk About Water. For more about communicating water science through film, visit the Let's Talk About Water website.
