CUAHSI Conference on Hydrologic Data and Information Systems 2011

CUAHSI is hosting a conference on Hydrologic Data and Information Systems. This will showcase the scientific progress enabled through the use of advanced information and data management systems. We welcome contributed presentations of your work on or related to data management in hydrology. The conference will also showcase the CUAHSI Hydrologic Information System (HIS), a web-based system for sharing hydrologic data.

Confirmed Invited and Keynote Speakers

  • Eva Zanzerkia — National Science Foundation, NSF Cyberinfrastructure programs related to hydrologic information and data management
  • William Michener — University of New Mexico, The Data Observation Network for Earth (DataONE)
  • Mark Schildhauer — National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, Scientific Observations Network (SONet)
  • Ralf Kunkel — Forschungszentrum Juelich (Helmholz Institute), TERENO data management system
  • Mark Williams — University of Colorado at Boulder, Integrated data management in Critical Zone Observatories
  • Antonio Parodi — CIMA Foundation, Italy, European Distributed Research Infrastructure for Hydro-Meteorology
  • Christopher Duffy — Penn State University, Integration of Observations and Modeling
  • Larry Murdoch — Clemson University, Dataset development in support of community hydrologic modeling

The conference will comprise plenary and concurrent sessions of invited and contributed talks and posters organized according to the themes given below. Depending upon contributions received there may be multiple sessions related to a single theme, or themes may be combined into a single session. The conference will also include training workshops on use of the CUAHSI HIS and a series of "Dr's Office" sessions for one-on-one questions on aspects of CUAHSI HIS.

NSF Logo

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is the funding source for approximately 20 percent of all federally supported basic research conducted by America's colleges and universities, and provides major funding for CUAHSI, the HIS project, and this conference.

Kisters Logo

Water, Air Quality, and Energy are our basic resources. Economic globalization and developing countries make their efficient use the key challenge of our and future generations. The management and utilization of very large time series data volumes play a key role in the successful achievement of this goal, today and tomorrow.

Aquatic Informatics Logo

Water Monitoring & Analysis Software — If you monitor water, you are faced with enormous amounts of environmental data. To analyze and interpret that data—to see trends, to make clear, actionable evaluations—you need AQUARIUS, the professional tool for data analysis and management of environmental data.

Aquaveo Logo

Aquaveo — Software Solutions — Engineering Services
We develop solutions for modeling groundwater and surface-water hydrology and hydraulics for engineers and planners throughout the world.

Campbell Scientific Logo

Campbell Scientific data acquisition and control products are used world wide in research and industry. Our products are known for versatility, precision, and dependability, even in harsh, remote environments.

HIS Logo

CUAHSI's Hydrologic Information System (CUAHSI-HIS) is an internet-based system for sharing hydrologic data. It is comprised of databases and servers, connected through web services, to client applications, allowing for the publication of, discovery of and access to data.

Plain and simple, people who have been to Utah State University love it. Just ask them. No other place provides the complete package quite like USU. Did you know that USU's undergraduate research program is the second oldest in the nation, behind only MIT?
