Session Proposal: Advancements in Hydrologic Tools and Technologies (AGU25)

IN004
Advancements in Hydrologic Tools and Technologies

Session ID#: 251678

Session Description:
The digital transformation of water-resources management and systems has led to a growing need for interactive forums that present, discuss, and demonstrate computational tools and technologies in hydrology. This is especially important for hydrologists, water managers, and policy makers who need to stay up-to-date with emerging multi-disciplinary methods. This session aims to provide a platform for developers of hydrologic tools, software, and applications to share their technologies with a wider audience. This session will focus on research-to-operation methods, tools, apps, and software that help attendees understand the state-of-the-art in hydrology, analysis, and prediction. By bringing together developers and practitioners in hydrology, this session will provide a valuable opportunity for knowledge sharing and collaboration, helping to advance the field and improve water-resources management.
