Open to collaborate?

@rileyhales, I was quite excited to discover your v2 release of the GEOGloWS Streamflow project's datasets and tools. It's quite impressive that you and your team has built such an strong foundation for a next gen global river flow simulation system. I'm also impressed that you posted all your data to AWS Open Data Registry: https://registry.opendata.aws/geoglows-v2/. Nice work!

I've been tracking the development of global datasets and tools for similar purposes for the last 5 years or so with the goal of expanding Model My Watershed capabilities from CONUS to the globe.

Our team has finally gotten the funding to get started on this work, and we're very interested in building from and potentially contributing to your work. We're thinking of starting by directly using your modified TDX-Hydro Streams and Catchments that you're maintaining on AWS at http://geoglows-v2.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/. Our idea is to develop Rapid Watershed Delineation capabilites to operate over your modified TDX-Hydro datasets.

Might you be interested in a conversation about potentially collaborating? If it doesn't make sense right now, no worries; you have admirers who will use what you share! If it does make sense to explore a potential collaboration, a low-effort and low-effort easy start might be to connect via zoom for an information exchange.
