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

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.

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.
