ABSTRACT:

A plenary keynote from the 2025 CIROH Developer's Conference presented by Dan Ames and Arpita Patel. This presentation provides an overview of recent advancements in the consortium's hydroinformatics and cyberinfrastructure initiatives.

Hydroinformatics topics covered include the NWM BigQuery API, the Tethys Dash graphical dashboard builder, the Rivers_points data visualization tool, the CIROH RIVR mobile app, and several Flood Inundation Mapping tools.

Cyberinfrastructure topics covered include on-premises resources, cloud computing resources, current and future high-performance computing infrastructure, NextGen In A Box, and the DocuHub documentation website.

ABSTRACT:

This workshop offers a comprehensive introduction to the NextGen framework, NextGen In A Box, and their surrounding ecosystem of datasets and utilities for empowering research.
This workshop's demo was deployed on CIROH Cyberinfrastructure for the duration of the conference. For a version of the demo focused on local computing, please see the NGIAB 101 training module: https://docs.ciroh.org/training-NGIAB-101/

ABSTRACT:

This presentation covers two facets of the NextGen In A Box ecosystem: the TEEHR integration, which streamlines evaluation of model results, and the Tethys-based Data Visualizer, which allows for spatial exploration of both model and TEEHR outputs.

ABSTRACT:

This workshop introduces the Basic Model Interface standard, or BMI, which allows for hydrological models in any style and most common languages to be easily coupled to the NextGen Framework.

ABSTRACT:

The Research DataStream is a continental-scale water model built using the NextGen framework and facilitated by NextGen In A Box. This workshop introduces DataStreamCLI, the underlying backend of the Research Datastream, as well as going into depth regarding the Research DataStream's design, current status, and usage.

ABSTRACT:

Lynker Spatial's NextGen Hydrofabric offers a comprehensive characterization of gage and streamflow locations across the continental United States (CONUS) and beyond. This presentation presents the context surrounding this hydrofabric's development, its current state, and its community-oriented future via the community.fabric initiative.
