CIROH Celebrates R2O Award Recipients at Annual Science Meeting
The Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology recently presented its prestigious Research to Operations awards at its third annual Science Meeting in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The awards recognize individuals or projects that have created a significant impact and bridge the gap between hydrologic research and real-world applications.
UA Center to Provide Environmental Analysis to Support National Security
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The University of Alabama’s Global Water Security Center will receive $11.5 million in funding over the next two years from the U.S. Department of Defense to enhance its crucial work that supports national security. The funds will support the center’s analysis of global environmental factors affecting politics and security. This work will help inform key DOD decision makers.
CIROH Announces 34 New Research Projects Across 18 Institutions in North America to Advance Water Prediction and Resilience
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology (CIROH) has announced the award of 34 new research projects aimed at advancing water prediction capabilities and enhancing community resilience. The selected projects, spanning institutions across the U.S. and Canada, represent cutting-edge research in hydrology, data science, community water modeling, decision support, and environmental resilience.
Stands of Resilience: How Rivercane and Indigenous Knowledge Preserve Each Other’s Survival
The story of rivercane is one of resilience, intertwined with the survival of both ecosystems and the Indigenous cultures that have depended on them. These once lush bamboo forests and grasslands that sustained the landscape, known as “canebrakes,” are now endangered. The rapid decline of this native bamboo species has had lasting consequences on the southeastern United States. Today, efforts like the Rivercane Restoration Alliance offer a chance to restore these environments and amplify the knowledge that sustains them.
