Studying and Inventing Tech That Monitors America's Water | Join FLOW Academy

Thirteen students from across the nation spent eight intensive weeks in summer 2025 mastering cutting-edge water observing technologies. Through the Future Leaders in Observation of Water, FLOW, Academy – sponsored by the U.S. Geological Survey and organized by the Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology – students gained hands-on experience with sensors, robotics and AI-powered monitoring systems that are revolutionizing how we understand and protect water resources. 📝 We're accepting applications now: https://ciroh.ua.edu/education-and-ou... This isn't your typical summer program. From day one, students built circuit boards in soldering labs, programmed microcontrollers, deployed autonomous underwater vehicles in the Black Warrior River and developed solar-powered remote sensing stations. Working directly in the newly constructed USGS Hydrologic Instrumentation Facility, HIF, at The University of Alabama, participants collaborated with federal scientists, university faculty and industry partners Jaia Robotics and Deep Analytics. Hear from program leaders Dr. Aijun Song and Dr. Lisa Davis, USGS Chief Derek Bussan, and students Sara Gutierrez Diaz, Godwin Sunday and Gabby Tapat as they share how FLOW Academy transforms curiosity into expertise. Their summer culminated in the Tech Showcase, where four teams presented innovative water monitoring projects addressing real-world challenges in data collection, analysis and visualization.
