The Center for Hydrologic Development, funded with federal money, will focus on federal research and predictions, which means the Iowa Flood Center still will need state funding, director Larry Weber said.
Witold Krajewski, director of the Iowa Flood Center, and Kristy Nabhan-Warren, associate vice president for research, will deliver Iowa’s 40th presidential Lecture at 4 p.m. March 2 in the International Ballroom on the second floor of the Iowa Memorial Union.
The University of Iowa will be a key partner in a $360 million center to improve the United States’s ability to predict water-related hazards and better manage its water. Iowa will receive $21 million as a partner in the Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology.
Seven University of Iowa researchers have been named fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world’s largest general-scientific society.
