HARP Announcements: a thread #17

Open rburghol opened 3 years ago

Hey all -- I thought this might be an interesting alternative to our email chains that can save everything in a sequence. This thread is for general announcements, NOT project task related. For example, fun resources, interesting visualization approaches, etc.

Interesting podcast about a company that provides crop insurance to small farmers, and enhances their payments, effectively guaranteeing higher yields if they adopt certain practices. They use software to track the farmers adherence to the practices in question. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/future-of-agriculture/id1137767458?i=1000513402399

When we discuss our work, do we do it in a way that seeks to form "unlikely allies "? A really interesting podcast about how to engage in constructive dialogue https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ted-talks-daily-sd-video/id160892972?i=1000513426042

Here is a paper on evaluating hydrologic model performance for low flows. It has some interesting observations regarding how to isolate a low flow -- that is, how to make sure that you are really quantifying a low flow and not the tail of a recent storm flow. I admire this scientist's work, one of their papers was cited in the eco-flows papers that we did. A Review of Efficiency Criteria for Evaluating Low-Flow Simulations

Tomorrow, 4/14/2021, CUAHSI is doing a webinar for the hour prior to our normal HARP meeting. It is called "Development of the Next Generation Water Resources Modeling Framework". The title is certainly intriguing, and CUAHSI does good work, pushing the envelope of online water data management (they use a similar feature + timeseries + variableDef framework as we do based on ArcHydro) and modeling (hydroshare is kind of a cool repository of models).

A github project "Bluecat", for Model Uncertainty Assessment in R. Uncertainty assessment is a critical concept, especially when looking at climate change. https://github.com/albertomontanari/hymodbluecat
