Call for Abstracts!!! Submit an abstract to CUAHSI’s sessions at the AGU Fall Meeting (December 11 – 15, 2017 in New Orleans, LA). Deadline to submit is August 2nd.
To submit an abstract, please visit https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2017/abstract-submissions/. ________________________________ Submit an abstract to the following CUAHSI sessions: ED044. Virtual Community Platforms and Data Tools for Enabling Geoscience Research and Education<https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm17/preliminaryview.cgi/Session25314> Session ID: 25314 Effective research in the geosciences requires a combination of discovering, analyzing, managing, and publishing data. Community platforms and data tools are being developed to aid researchers, students, and educators in accomplishing these tasks so that they can better focus their efforts on addressing current scientific issues. Many tools are available online and can be accessed through services, thus creating Virtual Research Environments that enhance the sharing of data and tools. We solicit contributions that discuss successes and challenges in developing tools, applications, and platforms that enable data discovery, data sharing and publishing, and data management to support the next generation of research in geosciences. IN013. Challenges and Benefits of Open Source Software and Open Data<https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm17/preliminaryview.cgi/Session23607> Session ID: 23607 Scientists rely on a broad range of software tools and services to conduct their research such as GIS, data hosting and discovery platforms, data processing packages, and modelling suites. The continued development of these tools is essential to improving our understanding of critical geoscience questions. Open source software and open data foster reusing and adopting existing scientific results. Due to the increasing needs for data analysis and infrastructure, earth and space sciences benefits from adopting these practices. In addition, open source software enhances capabilities of researchers, science teams, and new users and allows them to build more capable, reliable, reusable and long-lasting software. Reusing open source software and data can be synergistic and beneficial for research collaborations, as well as challenging to govern. This session discusses ways to address the challenges and benefits of open science, as well as cutting-edge tools and services that support the needs of the community. H072: Hyper-Resolution Hydrologic Modeling: Progress and Challenges<https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm17/preliminaryview.cgi/Session26938> Session ID: 26938 Growing water stakeholder demands, the availability of accurate, high-resolution terrain and remote sensing data, and rapidly increasing computational capabilities continue to enable process-based hydrologic modeling at ‘hyper-resolution’ scales, on the order of 10-50m. For example, flash flood prediction and surface-groundwater coupling in urbanized areas or in steep-terrain requires high spatial and temporal resolution modeling. Operational forecasting systems, such as the NOAA National Water Model among others, now are developing methods for operational hyper-resolution hydrologic prediction applications. As such there is now a need to demonstrate and rigorously assess the fidelity of hyper-resolution hydrologic models and flood inundation prediction capabilities. Papers are solicited that cover a spectrum of topics such as: the trade-off between modeling resolution, accuracy, and computational requirements; real-time flood forecasting/mapping applications; hydrologic/hydraulic model complexity; terrain feature description; model initialization and lateral boundary forcing specification. Contributions discussing novel model evaluation methodologies are also welcome.
