Dr. Ibrahim Demir, the Michael A. Fitts Presidential Chair in Environmental Informatics and Artificial Intelligence, and professor of river-coastal science and engineering at Tulane University, discusses how artificial intelligence is transforming the way we forecast floods, manage water resources, and communicate environmental risks.

Ibrahim's research focuses on using data-driven systems, machine learning, and digital twins to make hydrologic forecasting faster, smarter, and more accessible for communities everywhere.

Dr. Martyn Clark, professor of hydrology at the University of Calgary, joins the AWI Podcast to discuss hydrologic modeling and predicting where water will flow. Clark is a global leader in building advanced models that push environmental forecasting forward and help turn predictions into action.

The Alabama Water Institute and CIROH recently hosted the 20th anniversary of HEPEX — a global collaboration to improve hydrologic forecasting and its use in real-world decisions.

The Alabama Water Institute and CIROH recently hosted the 20th anniversary of HEPEX — a global collaboration to improve hydrologic forecasting and its use in real-world decisions. Rob Hartman, a consulting hydrologist with 35 years of federal flood and water supply forecasting experience, shared insights from his time leading the National Weather Service California–Nevada River Forecast Center, his work on the Forecast Informed Reservoir Operations project, and how agencies are using forecasts to guide reservoir operations and flood management today.
