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.
Op-Ed by Dr. Travis Loof Setting the Scene A few minutes before 8 a.m., the room was a quiet mix of coffee cups, maps and county binders. Then the briefing began. A Helene-like hurricane had tracked inland and pushed up the I-65 corridor. The scenario was blunt. Statewide power impacts. Road washouts. Compounding hazards. My…
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.
AWI’s Water-R2O NSF Research Traineeship program celebrated the graduation of its 2024-2025 cohort, capping a year of hands-on water science training that spanned the Southeastern U.S. and four European countries.
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.
