Title: CIROH Hub: A Unified Gateway to Hydrologic Research Resources
Presentation Type: Lightning Talk
Abstract: The CIROH Hub is a new web-based platform that unifies and replaces two previous websites, the CIROH Portal and CIROH DocuHub. It consolidates the institute’s distributed research outputs, including applications, datasets, publications, presentations, courses, notebooks, documentation, and computing resources, into a single navigable gateway. Community contributions of applications, datasets, and courses are managed through HydroShare integration, while publications are synchronized via Zotero, and tool documentation is automatically mirrored from open-source GitHub repositories. The Hub also provides a central listing of CIROH computing resources through R2OHC, offering access to both Cloud and HPC environments, alongside governance documentation, community news, and blog updates. By unifying these resources under a common interface and reducing the friction of discovery, CIROH Hub supports the transition of hydrologic research into operational implementation and provides the broader community with a consistent point of access to the institute’s collective work.
