International tRIBS Virtual Seminar Series
Enrique Vivoni
Dear tRIBS Google Group members,
I hope you are all doing very well! A small group of us have been meeting on a regular basis since the tRIBS 2022 Science meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico in June. We would like to broaden the participation of our monthly get-togethers (1 hour) to the entire membership of the tRIBS Google Group.
Two assignments:
1. In this spirit, we will be launching an international virtual seminar series. To accommodate colleagues in Europe, North America and elsewhere, we have created a poll at the following link. Please fill this out with feasible 1 hour slots in your local time zone (the tool should automatically account for that). This is setup as a generic week. Once we have a potential day of week and time of day, we will then find a recurring monthly day (e.g. third Tuesday of a month).
2. If you are interested in speaking in the seminar series, please let me know at viv...@asu.edu. We will ask speakers to present on tRIBS efforts and discuss the science / engineering application as well as provide a few modeling details (model version, setup activities, etc). Our goal is to communicate with each other how tRIBS is currently being used, to share experiences and to create the intellectual exchanges needed for future developments.
Our start date will depend on our success in getting the schedule and speakers lined up, with a goal of January 2023. Thanks for your help in this matter.
Have a wonderful rest of your week!
Enrique

Dear Colleagues,
We write to invite your participation in a user group for the tRIBS distributed hydrologic model. After many years of development and use, tRIBS has reached a level that warrants further dissemination and user community interaction. You have all contributed to this development and use through your research efforts. Later this week, an automated invitation will be sent through a new Google Group. If this is of interest for your current research activities, please accept the invitation and join the conversation.
To begin the conversation, we have attached a bibliographic analysis performed in Web of Science of the contributions using tRIBS or its derivate versions. To date, the model has been used in 94 peer-reviewed papers, generated about 3500 citations, and has an H-index of 34. Since this publication list might be missing information, we will be soliciting your input to augment and characterize these contributions.
Over the next few months, we will also use the Google Group to communicate information on new model documentation using Read the Docs and an open source version of tRIBS provided with version control through GitHub. Your contributions to this developer and user community will be welcomed, including the addition of other researchers. While we will serve as moderators of this effort, the intent is to broadly disseminate and grow the user base worldwide as a community model.
Sincerely,
Enrique Vivoni, Arizona State University
