EGU Splinter Meeting - V-FOR-WaTer virtual research environment on Monday 16:15

[Sibylle Haßler]

Dear colleagues,

We are organising a splinter meeting during EGU'26 for all hydrological modellers and those interested in using GIS tools for hydrological applications.  The session would be held on Monday evening (16:15 to 18:00) in Room 2.42. 

In this splinter meeting session (SPM45), we introduce the updated V-FOR-WaTer virtual research environment (https://portal.vforwater.de/home/), with access to hydrological datasets and reproducible workflows for model pre- and post-processing.

The list of currently available datasets include COPERNICUS 30m DEM, CAMELS-DE, HYRAS to name a few. The available prebuilt tool workflows (https://github.com/VForWaTer/tool_whiteboxgis) include a GIS chain using WhiteboxGIS and evaluation tools for model diagnostics. This hands-on session (laptops are encouraged) is open to everyone interested in learning more about and applying the virtual research environment, exemplified for one process-based hydrological model (https://github.com/VForWaTer/tool_catflow). 

We look forward to some fruitful discussions and an exciting opportunity to meet everyone.

Warmly

Ashish and Sibylle (on behalf of V-FOR-WaTeR Team)
