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.
Dr. Jonathan Frame has secured a National Science Foundation grant to investigate how expanding AI infrastructure will impact water resources—a critical issue he believes will define the next decade of water management.
Most rivers lack gauges, leaving gaps in flood forecasting, water management and emergency planning. This new machine learning approach uses downstream data to predict upstream flow with no sensors needed.
Alabama Water Institute's $180,640 in grants equips UA researchers with cutting-edge technology to tackle pressing water challenges, from removing "forever chemicals" to developing autonomous monitoring systems. The eight funded projects span multiple disciplines and support AWI's mission to enhance water research capabilities through innovative technology and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
New machine learning tool sharpens National Water Model forecasting—cutting bias, boosting accuracy and helping water managers respond to drought across the Western U.S. and beyond.
The University of Alabama's Water-R2O NRT program welcomes third cohort of graduate students for study tours, seminars and international experiences while developing cutting-edge skills in machine learning applied to hydrologic prediction.
Researchers are transforming weather forecasting in American Samoa by deploying AI and machine learning to enhance local monitoring and connecting the region to national and global climate models
University of Alabama researchers are using the state’s first combustion ion chromatography system to detect “forever chemicals,” in water.
NextGen In A Box (NGIAB) sets up in 30 minutes and integrates advanced hydrological tools for data processing, visualization, and modeling for researchers and agencies.
