CIROH community resources allow students, researchers and water professionals to access, share and improve on existing work. Whether it is a model like NextGen In A Box, a presentation, published paper or notebook, open-source assets remain critical for the future of water resources modeling in a consortium made up by diverse fields, talents and careers.
CIROH partnered with NIDIS through hydrologic scientist Dr. Elliot Wickham to connect drought research to drought preparation in the Southeast. By making critical information available to community decision-makers as droughts develop, this partnership supports drought resilience throughout the region.
In 1827, the location of The University of Alabama was influenced by the presence of a critical water resource called Marr’s Spring. Nearly 200 years later, the University is at the center of water research advancing science, technology and policy to create a more secure and sustainable water future for the nation and the world.
Travis Loof, communication and social scientist for the Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology, has been selected for the THRIVE 2.0 fellowship. The program supports interdisciplinary collaboration focused on societal challenges, including community resilience, emerging technology and hazard response.
The University of Alabama earned top recognition in the latest U.S. News & World Report Best Global Universities rankings, placing No. 13 nationally and No. 100 globally in Water Resources as UA continues expanding its impact in water research, forecasting and workforce development.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.— The Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology, or CIROH, today announced the launch of the CIROH Hub, a new centralized platform designed to provide seamless access to the consortium’s research, data, tools and community resources. The platform is now live at hub.ciroh.org. As CIROH’s digital footprint expanded, its resources became distributed across multiple…
CIROH announces $25.5 million in funding for 47 new research projects that will help communities better prepare for floods, droughts and changing water conditions. Supported by NOAA and USGS, this work will improve water forecasting tools, expand the use of AI, strengthen coastal and flood prediction and advance new observing technologies to turn cutting-edge science…
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.
The first USGS FLOW Academy brought 13 students to The University of Alabama for a summer of hands-on water technology, fieldwork and discovery that redefined how they see water science.
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…
