CUAHSI: PROMOTING DISCOVERY IN WATER SCIENCE THROUGH DATA, MODELING, AND COMMUNITY SERVICES

大学水文科学促进联盟(CUAHSI)是一个研究组织，代表100多所美国大学和与水科学有关的国际组织。CUAHSI为跨学科的水科学界提供水数据服务和基础设施。CUAHSI服务旨在使水研究人员能够更轻松地相互共享数据和知识。最终，CUAHSI提供的资源可以加强对地球水过程的了解。CUAHSI提供仪器方面的培训，并主办与现场仪器和大型复杂水数据的使用有关的专业会议。CUAHSI通过研究生旅行津贴、面对面和在线研究研讨会以及公众讨论，为研究生、水科学界和公众提供支持和推广。大学促进水文科学联盟(CUAHSI)正在其现有能力的基础上，向跨学科的水文科学界提供关键的基础设施和服务。CUAHSI的三项新举措包括：(1)将CUAHSI的两个数据服务平台--HIS和水文共享--整合到一个具有直观用户体验的单一系统中；(2)通过访问一套新的和独特的数据服务来支持水文发现和社区建模；以及(3)降低进入复杂大规模水文建模的门槛。CUAHSI通过简化的用户界面扩大社区对水文数据的获取，这不仅对于丰富水文研究，而且对于支持大陆尺度建模都很重要，大陆尺度建模将越来越多地被用于解决水质和地下水问题。培训和外展活动为研究生探索有意义和重要的跨学科问题提供了重要的培训和研究机会。CUAHSI主持关于水预测和整体建模科学的社区会议。过去的其他成功活动，如探路者和仪器发现学生旅行补助金、水信息学补助金、研究网络研讨会、让我们谈谈水的外展活动和两年一度的座谈会，都将在该奖项下继续下去。该项目所包含的服务旨在为社区提供最大利益，并作为推进水文及相关科学的基础。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI) is a research organization representing more than 100 U.S. universities and international water science-related organizations. CUAHSI provides water data services and infrastructure to the interdisciplinary water science community. CUAHSI services are designed to enable water researchers to more easily share data and knowledge with each other. Ultimately, the resources provided by CUAHSI can enhance the understanding of water processes on Earth. CUAHSI provides training in instrumentation and hosts specialty conferences relating to field instrumentation and the use of large and complex water data. CUAHSI provides support and outreach to graduate students, the water science community and the public via graduate student travel grants, in-person and online research seminars, and public discussions. The Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI) is building on its existing capabilities to provide critical infrastructure and services to the interdisciplinary hydrologic sciences community. Three new CUAHSI initiatives include: (1) integrating of CUAHSI's two data services platforms, HIS and HydroShare, into a single system with an intuitive user experience; (2) supporting hydrologic discovery and community modeling through access to a new and unique set of data services; and (3) lowering the bar for entry to complex large-scale hydrologic modeling. CUAHSI's expansion of the community's access to hydrologic data through a simplified user interface is important both for enriching hydrologic research, but also to support continental scale modeling, which will increasingly be used to address water-quality and groundwater issues. Training and outreach activities provide important training and research opportunities for graduate students to explore meaningful and important interdisciplinary questions. CUAHSI hosts community meetings on the science of water prediction and ensemble modeling. Other successful activities from the past, such as Pathfinder and Instrumentation Discovery student travel grants, Hydoinformatics grants, Research Cyberseminars, Let's Talk about Water outreach events, and Biennial Colloquium, are continued under this award. The services included in this project are selected to provide maximum benefit to the community as well as to serve as a foundation for the advancement of hydrologic and related sciences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
