CIROH Annual Science Meeting, 2024

Researchers from Mines are headed to the 3rd Annual Science Meeting at the University of Alabama, in mid-October.

The Science Meeting aims to review and advance the research agenda for CIROH and strengthen the translation of research into practice. To learn more about the objectives of CIROH’s 3rd Annual Science Meeting, go to the link below.

Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology

CIROH, a partnership between NOAA and The University of Alabama, is a national consortium committed to advancing water prediction – the forecasting of streamflow entering water systems, extreme events such as floods and droughts, and water quality – and building community resilience to water-related challenges. CIROH scientists work to improve the understanding of hydrologic processes, operational hydrologic forecasting techniques and workflows, community water modeling, translation of forecasts to actionable products, and use of water predictions in decision making.
