Abstract

As scientists are confronted with increasingly massive datasets from observations to simulations, one of the biggest challenges is having the right tools to gain scientific insight from the data and communicate the understanding to stakeholders. Recent developments in web technologies make it easy to manage, analyze, visualize, and share large data sets with the public. Web technologies, intelligent systems, artificial intelligence, and virtual and augmented reality techniques provide advanced capabilities for big data analytics, knowledge discovery and smart communication platforms. This talk provides an overview of developments in web systems for hydrological analysis and communication, and presents real-world applications of these techniques in water resources and disaster mitigation.
