The Alabama Water Institute introduced its new Wheel of Water to 4,000 ninth graders at the Worlds of Work event, helping students explore careers in hydrology and highlighting the critical need for a strong water workforce in Alabama.
The Alabama Water Institute recently welcomed Dr. Erin White as associate director of science and research operations at CIROH, the Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology.
When Dr. Md Shahabul Alam joined the Alabama Water Institute in 2022, he expected a few years of postdoctoral research, the chance to strengthen his publication record and eventually a faculty opportunity. What he did not anticipate was how quickly his path would accelerate thanks to supportive mentorship, a thriving research community and the breadth…
The Alabama Water Resources Conference united more than 360 professionals, researchers and students to share innovations, foster collaboration and advance solutions for Alabama’s water future.
CIROH’s 2025 Science Meeting united more than 220 researchers, partners and federal collaborators to advance water prediction, celebrate research-to-operations breakthroughs and recognize outstanding achievements in hydrology.
Nine undergraduate students from across the nation spent ten weeks at The University of Alabama applying artificial intelligence to water forecasting through the AI for Operational Hydrology Research Experience for Undergraduates program, combining technical training with hands-on fieldwork and community engagement.
From the lab to the field, new tools funded by the Alabama Water Institute are empowering UA researchers to solve Alabama’s most pressing water challenges.
CIROH researchers have harnessed NASA’s satellite data to sharpen a critical piece of flood forecasting: river slope. Their new datasets improve U.S. flood models by more than 30%, giving emergency managers faster, more reliable information to protect communities during extreme weather.
Springtime river ice floods threaten northern communities, but a CIROH-funded project is changing that. A team at Stevens Institute of Technology, led by Marouane Temimi, has developed a system that combines satellite imagery and machine learning to monitor river ice in near real-time.
UA graduate students hit the road for the Water-R2O NRT Operational Hydrology Study Tour, a three-day journey that showed them how scientists, forecasters and emergency managers team up to keep Southeast communities safe from floods.
