Daugherty Fellows postdoctoral positions were awarded to: − Francisco Munoz-Arriola, Associate Professor in Hydroinformatics and Integrated Hydrology, UNL Biological Systems Engineering and School of Natural Resources, for the project: Software Development for Water- and Agriculture-resources Data and Information Access: the case of the Water for Food Interoperability System (WaFIS). [...] In addition to DWFI, these initiatives were funded by CONACYT (National Council for Science and Technology in Mexico), the Indian Department of Science and Technology, and the Indo-US Science and Technology Forum (through the WARI fellowships). [...] Oglesby and team are in discussions for follow-up work in Colombia and are also in discussions with the Ministry for the Environment of Peru for a similar Peruvian initiative. [...] Tests of the technology are ongoing with partners at the University of Kansas and the University of California-Berkeley to answer context-specific questions related to water management and quality that cannot be answered today due to the cost and spatiotemporal limitations of current sampling techniques. [...] This grant involves another UNL Computer Science faculty member and a group of robotics and water scientists at the University of the Pacific in California.
