CIROH's Working Groups drive innovation and collaboration across critical research areas, from hydrologic modeling and flood inundation mapping to artificial intelligence and early career development. Discover the groups shaping the future of water research, their 2025-2026 objectives, and the leaders guiding each initiative.
Cultivates a vibrant Community of Practice among CIROH researchers and federal partners, providing thought leadership by synthesizing CIROH's advancements in FIM and aligning them with broader developments in the FIM research community. Serves as a key advocate for FIM within CIROH, informing strategic direction and CIROH roadmap development.
Focuses on understanding and advancing CIROH's decision support and social and behavioral sciences research portfolio, providing strategic guidance and visibility for these critical research areas.
Aligns and synthesizes CIROH's hydrologic modeling research advances with those from the hydrologic sciences community. Informs CIROH's hydrologic modeling strategy and roadmap while organizing activities to advance the state of CIROH's hydrologic modeling research.
Connects and coordinates projects and researchers involved in water data science with the goal of advancing broader-scale, cross-cutting initiatives across CIROH's computational infrastructure and tools.
Supports the advancement and success of CIROH's early career scientists by providing recommendations to CIROH leadership, informing early career scientist development strategy, and leading the organization of signature activities geared towards this community.
Strengthens CIROH’s digital infrastructure through modern DevOps practices, keeping platforms and tools reliable, scalable, and secure. Supports the community around R2OHC cyberinfrastructure, NGIAB, Research Datastream (NRDS), and other open-source repositories, and shares documentation, trainings, and news.
Informs the creation of CIROH's AI strategy and implementation roadmap. Encourages and supports white papers, facilitates DevCon AI/ML track workshops, synthesizes CIROH's AI research advances, and organizes activities to advance the state of CIROH's AI research.
Informs the creation of CIROH's model and forecast evaluation expectation, strategy, and implementation roadmap. Helps synthesize CIROH's model and forecast evaluation research advances with those from the hydrologic sciences community and organizes activities to advance this research area.
