Collaborators
Our team is uniquely positioned to complete this work, as several team members are project investigators contributing to HydroShare (Horsburgh; Bales; Lenhardt), ODM2 (Horsburgh) and Landlab (Tucker, Istanbulluoglu, Hutton, Bandaragoda). Members of our team (Leon, Peckham) facilitate field sampling. Collaborators in population health and biomedical informatics (Mooney, Stephens) oversee community education and extend the utility of the cyberinfrastructure in a public health context. Drinking water sample campaign experts (Edwards, Pieper, Rhoads) spearhead water sampling.
Christina Bandaragoda is the lead PI for the project and overseeing the infrastructure development and user experience design. Jim Phuong is a UW School of Medicine PhD Candidate in Biomedical Informatics and Medical Education studying computationally intensive data-driven knowledge discovery in health research. He is facilitating the collection of socio-demographic information for the spatio-temporal data archive. Sean Mooney is leading the development of new relationships between the project team and the clinical health research community. Erkan Istanbulluoglu will identify Landlab process models which can be used for environmental analysis upstream of drinking water sources. Kari Stephens is advising the cyberinfrastructure team on population health needs assessments and co-lead a community water meeting with Puerto Rican residents who provide water samples for this study. She will coordinate a workshop for the population health research community, and advise on how to integrate environmental data with biomedical health informatics, with emphasis on data sharing architectures, governance, and electronic medical record systems.
Our team has leveraged resources from the Hurricane Maria NSF RAPID and NSF Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE) to conduct field sampling of both drinking water and surface waters in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria in collaboration with the CECIAIA-UPR team. Marc Edwards and Amy Pruden oversee research activities and mentoring of students. Kelsey Pieper, William Rhoads, and Emily Garner mentor graduate students and supervise research activities. Ishi Keenum and Benjamin Davis execute research activities. Kelsey Pieper, William Rhoads, Virginia Riquelme Brazeal, Ishi Keenum, and Benjamin Davis planned field sampling activities in coordination with the CECIAIA-UPR team. William Rhoads, Virginia Riquelme Brazeal, Ishi Keenum, Benjamin Davis, Matthew Blair, Gregory House, and Amy Pruden executed field sampling activities in coordination with the CECIAIA-UPR team. William Rhoads and Kelsey Pieper coordinate relationships with collaborators.

Graciela Toro-Ramirez is providing access to laboratories in Puerto Rico, field and laboratory equipment, performing analysis,collaborate in the field sampling campaign, identify systems to be sample, coordinates sampling in system (distribution, sources, and storage). Graciela is introducing the VT team to contacts and coordinate field activities where system representatives need to be present. She is designing strategies to engage medical personnel as respondents in the use of databases for reporting drinking water information related to patient health history and collaborating with North Carolina State University (NCSU) to collect data that can inform watershed hydrologic models.
Jerad Bales is coordinating this project with Martin Seul, Technical Director of CUAHSI data services, as well as collaboration with the Hurricanes Harvey and Irma RAPID project, and leadership for CUAHSI activities. Emily Clark and Liza Brazil will build and maintain a web portal for (1) accessing Maria resources in HydroShare and (2) inform and update the hydrologic community on Maria project activities, and 3) maintain a landing page in HydroShare for the project team and will work with the team to facilitate data archival in HydroShare.
Miguel Leon (University of Pennsylvania) data manager for LCZO and is compiling, documenting and archiving drinking water quality sample data with relevant associated environmental datasets, metadata and contextual datasets from Hurricane Maria. He is setting up an instance of ODM2 Admin, water one flow web services (WOFpy), and ODM2PythonAPI for these data. William McDowell is the lead PI of LCZO and supporting the sharing of CZO data on HydroShare.
Jeff Horsburgh leads integration of data with Version 2 of the Observations Data Model (ODM2) and design of a referenced data resource for HydroShare. Amber Jones coordinates data management, integration with ODM2, and setting up and populating operational datasets/databases. David Tarboton is the PI of the HydroShare NSF project and RAPID data archiving project for hurricane's Harvey and Irma.
Eric Hutton is the Senior Software Engineer with experience in multi-language codes, sediment transport and geophysical model development, and model coupling. Eric is overseeing and coordinating the software development necessary to ingest and use the identified data into the Landlab framework. Greg Tucker is the Director of CSDMS and PI on the NSF Landlab project. Lynn McCready is supporting the organization of planning and user testing workshops.
Christopher Lenhardt provides guidance for data management and curation tasks and coordination with other relevant projects at RENCI.
Scott Peckham is advising on the semantic mediation between environmental and health research data and model metadata. As a part-time resident of Puerto Rico who experienced Irma and Maria, he is providing logistic and travel advice for our workshop in Puerto Rico.
Tim Ferguson-Sauder is developing science communication tools customized for drinking water contamination education for users of community water systems in Puerto Rico.
