CUAHSI Board members are shaping the future of hydrologic science. This section highlights their research, projects, and impact. This month, we spotlight Marco P. Maneta, one of our newly elected board members. Marco shares his professional path from academia into the private sector.

Punwath Prun, a CUAHSI HydroInformatics Innovation Fellowship (HIF) awardee, shares his research on tracking global water quality changes in coastal rivers and estuaries using Landsat satellite data. The HIF enabled him to develop a harmonization algorithm and create the first global coastal surface reflectance database, which led to a NASA FINESST24 award and opportunities to present his findings at major conferences including AGU and ASLO.

HydroLearn is an educational project initially funded by the NSF that offers free, customizable active-learning resources in hydrology and water resources engineering. CUAHSI gathered feedback from several HydroLearn Fellows, who highlighted how the platform is reshaping water science education through discovery, collaboration, and innovation.

CUAHSI and the Global Resilience Institute at Northeastern University have collaborated to develop a web application that improves access to NOAA’s National Water Model (NWM) predictions, for water decision-makers and community resilience planners. FloodSavvy is a web-based interface that translates complex NWM data into simplified, actionable flood risk insights for community users. It renders forecasted and historically forecasted outputs, and pre-computed inundation maps in simple, intuitive formats. This post highlights the capabilities of this tool as well as the co-development process that was used to gather and assess community needs.
