E-W Data Hub

I-CREWS will generate and leverage large volumes of heterogenous, interdisciplinary data spanning energy use, capacity and governance to high resolution biophysical observation data to quantitative/qualitative social science data.

The Idaho Energy-Water Data Hub (E-W Data Hub) will serve as an essential centralized data catalog, repository and data integration platform for all I-CREWS data.

Modeling

• Parameterize configurations of future trajectories of E-W system changes.
• Elucidate stakeholder feedback while pairing geospatial and computational model outputs to define plausible and practical change through probabilistic modeling efforts.

Cross-functional team

This team has a representative from each of the Components. It is intended to facilitate communication and problem solving that crosses all I-CREWS components.

Key elements of the Cross-functional team:

• Focus is on the connectivity, cross-over and interweaving among different project areas;
• Review hand-offs and time dependencies between two or more project areas;
• Develop key recommendations and guidance needed for cross-cutting;
• Act as an advisory group to the Leadership Team;
• Ensure communication and information flow

Workforce Development/Education/Broadening

Implement Ed/WFD/BP components:

• CIP and VIP projects/courses
• Certificate (EE&SC) for grad students
• UG research opportunities (SARE)
• E-W content in Gen Ed courses at PUIs
• Expanding ASSERT
• BP efforts (recruit LatinX/NatAm populations/expand Equity Advocates/ Rural K-12 Needs Assessment)
