As part of the Transboundary Aquifer Assessment Program (TAAP), Abdullah and I took a field trip to Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, to visit the facilities of the Junta Municipal de Agua y Saneamiento de Juárez (JMAS). Read more about it here.

Abdullah Azzam, a PhD student, S.M. Asaduzzaman Reshad, a Master’s student, and I presented our projects at AGU24. I presented two posters. Abdullah talked about his VIC-MODFLOW modeling. Asad presented his state-scale culvert capacity analysis. Researchers from North Carolina State University (NCSU) showcased GRASS GIS. Finally, I reconnected with Dr. Rakesh Teja Konduru.

I was invited and gave a seminar “Rapid Flow Accumulation Using GRASS GIS r.flowaccumulation” on November 26, 2024 and a workshop “Physically-Based Hydrologic Modeling Using GRASS GIS” on November 27 and 29, 2024 for the Osaka Metropolitan University (OMU) Science Frontier Geoscience Seminar Series (translated). Drs. Venkatesh Raghavan (right), Xianfeng Song (center), and I hold…

Five graduate students from CLAWRIM presented their research projects at the 2024 New Mexico Water Conference.

Three graduate students from CLAWRIM, Abdullah Azzam, Ujjwal Marasini, and S.M. Asaduzzaman Reshad, are awarded the NM WRRI Student Water Research Grant for $7,500 each. Congratulations!

I am invited to deliver a research talk “Parallel Processing Methods for Big Data in Hydrology” for the Kyungpook National University (KNU) Global Seminar Series (translated).

A new paper on the Memory-Efficient Watershed Delineation (MESHED) parallel algorithm “Avoid backtracking and burn your inputs: CONUS-scale watershed delineation using OpenMP” is just published in Environmental Modelling & Software. Check its author’s version and source repository. The final version of the paper will freely be available for the next 50 days through this link.

I am invited to give a seminar “Memory-Efficient Flow Accumulation Computing Using GRASS GIS” for the Osaka Metropolitan University (OMU) Science Frontier Geoscience Seminar Series (translated) and a workshop “Physically-Based Hydrologic Modeling Using GRASS GIS” at the OMU Graduate School of Science.

I presented the “Evolution of GRASS GIS” and “An OpenMP Algorithm for Delineating a Large Number of Watersheds” at the Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial North America (FOSS4G NA) 2024 Conference.
