Save the Date! The Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology (CIROH) Training and Developers Conference
Sagy Cohen
Dear Hydrological Science Community,
The Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology (CIROH) is a newly established NOAA Cooperative Institute focused on research for advancing the operational needs of the NOAA Office of Water Predictions (OWP).
We are happy to announce the 1st Annual CIROH Training and Developers Conference which will take place on May 16-18, 2023 at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT.
The Conference will offer a daily mixture of:
- Keynote presentations from CIRHO members, federal partners, and local practitioners
- Poster and Lightning Talks presentations
- Hands-on Training on CIROH-related tools and services (e.g. NextGen, FIM, hydroinformatics)
- Networking and Community Building – including a pre-conference (May 15) half-day networking program
Who should attend?
The conference will focus on a wide range of topics relating to hydrological forecasting, particularly of extreme events - in line with CIROH’s current research and development emphasis. These include hydrological modeling (NextGen), flood inundation mapping (OWP FIM), hydroinformatics, machine learning applications in hydrology, social science, and community engagement. The conference is open to the broad scientific and practitioner communities (capped at 150 participants). We particularly encourage participation by students and early-career members.
Details:
Information about the conference schedule, registration, housing, early-career travel support, etc. will be listed in the coming weeks on: https://ciroh.ua.edu/devconference/
Please spread the word to your students and colleagues.
On behalf of the Organizing Committee,
Sagy Cohen, CIROH Deputy Director
