Navigating the NextGen Ecosystem and NextGen In A Box (NGIAB)

Navigating the NextGen Ecosystem and NextGen In A Box (NGIAB)

Day 1 Session 1 (10:30 AM)

Presenters:

Starting with data collection and standardization tools, we will discuss and explore what these tools do and how to get them. Moving into Modeling and Data Production we’ll discuss cost and computational considerations for projects by size, and potential pitfalls. Next, we will cover evaluation and visualization tools and how they integrate into the various workflows. The remainder of the time will be dedicated to the discussion of how these tools integrate on a technical and organizational level, with consideration given to community data organization, future services needed by the community, and overall cohesion of the NextGen ecosystem.

Join us for an insightful session where we delve into the versatile world of NGIAB, a containerized and user-friendly solution designed to run the Community Hydrologic Modeling Framework, NextGen. This workshop will guide participants through the methods for running NGIAB across various platforms, ensuring seamless control over inputs, configurations, and executions directly from your local machine.

Learning Outcomes:

  • At the end of the workshop people will understand the terminology, technology, locations for software discussion and participation, and overall have a better understanding of how to interact with the NextGen ecosystem software tools, documentation and vocabulary.
  • Participants will also be equipped with the knowledge and skills to efficiently run NGIAB, preprocess their data, execute the NextGen framework, and visualize outcomes. They will have a better understanding of how to interact with the NextGen ecosystem software tools, documentation and vocabulary. Whether you’re new to NGIAB or looking to refine your expertise, this session promises valuable insights and practical applications.
  • Participants will run NGIAB on their local machine.
