Reflecting on a Year of Insightful Webinars
As we reflect on 2024, I am filled with gratitude and pride for the journey we’ve shared with our members through our Webinar Series. Over the past 12 months, we’ve hosted 10 webinars and we had more than 650 registrations. Each webinar was a unique opportunity to learn, connect, and grow the hydrologic community together.
This series has been about more than just delivering information; it’s been about establishing a community of curious, innovative, and motivated hydrologists who are working to address pressing issues. We heard from expert speakers who shared cutting-edge information and tools in hydrology. The lively Q&A sessions, instilled by our members, brought diverse perspectives and promoted debates on important and necessary topics in our field. I am very thankful for our members’ engagement in the webinars.
Looking Ahead: Join Us for Future Webinars
Looking ahead, we are starting 2025 with an exciting lineup of topics and speakers.
We kicked off the year with a January webinar on NOAA Atlas 15, presented by Drs. Janel Hanrahan and Lynne Trabachino from RTI International. NOAA Atlas 15 will play a critical role in the design of infrastructure and the safety of our communities.
In February we’ll feature Dr. Keil Neff and Haden Smith from the USACE Risk Management Center (RMC) presenting on the tools provided by the RMC to support Dam and Levee Safety Programs. Core tools include RMC-RRFT (Rainfall-Runoff Frequency Tool), RMC-BestFit, and RMC-RFA (Reservoir Frequency Analysis).
In March, we will welcome Carlos Fernandez-Jauregui, PH, current Director of the Water Assessment and Advisory Global Network (WASA-GN) and former, discussing global water resources challenges. Additional webinars will be announced as the year progresses!
