CIROH is building on the momentum of AGU24 as it prepares for AGU25 in New Orleans, where leaders in Earth and space science will gather under the theme “Where Science Connects Us.”
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 hosted its fourth annual Science Meeting September 15–18. The event brought together more than 220 researchers, federal partners and collaborators to share advances in water science, strengthen partnerships and accelerate the transition of research into operations.
This summer, nine students participated in the AI for Operational Hydrology REU, a partnership between the Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology and The University of Alabama Graduate School that focuses on applying artificial intelligence to water forecasting challenges.
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.
The Alabama Water Institute has selected four UA faculty as 2025–28 fellows, advancing research in algae and coral science, water security, AI in hydrology and environmental modeling.
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.
More than 225 researchers, students and partners gathered at the University of Vermont for the 2025 CIROH Developers Conference.
The CIROH Developers Conference is back for its third year—this time with an even stronger focus on hands-on training and interdisciplinary collaboration.
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
