Collaborative Research on Paleoenvironments and Societies (CoRPS)
The CoRPS working group at the University of Alabama was founded to improve the interdisciplinary understanding of hydrological and climatological variability and extreme events in the past to inform and improve the prediction of future extreme events and their potential socioecological impacts. In this group we apply a diverse array of techniques and approaches to not only identify and characterize past extreme hydrologic and climatologic events but also to model future change. This collaborative group has the goal of not only characterizing past extreme events to contextualize current and future events, but to use and disseminate this information more broadly, partnering with researchers modeling, policy and management to inform better practices and improve overall resiliency.

Scientific Research and Education Network (SciREN) Alabama
SciREN was founded by marine science graduate students at the University of North Carolina who wanted to share their research with school children who would be motivated by learning about scientific research in their own community. The network has expanded to multiple institutions and states, and in Spring 2021, researchers at the University of Alabama and the Alabama Water Institute (AWI) will host the inaugural SciREN Alabama program, fostering active collaborations between AWI researchers and regional K-12 educators.
