The Challenge

Bridging the Gap in Water Science

OpenGHM removes technical barriers to storing, accessing, and running the data and code that enables large-scale hydrologic modeling. We provide a unified, cloud-native platform that integrates data, compute, and visualization.

Core Capabilities

A Comprehensive Platform for Hydrology

Everything you need to conduct state-of-the-art water research in one place, powered by NSF Anvil Cyberinfrastructure.

The Gateway

User-friendly web portal connecting directly to NSF Anvil supercomputer without command-line complexity.

Data Repository

Browse and download GHM-ready model inputs (NetCDF format) and published snapshots, stored on NSF Anvil object storage.

Community Model

Run containerized, reproducible hydrologic models as batch jobs on NSF Anvil.

The ToolkitComing soon

Powerful Python APIs for data processing, spatial resampling, and interactive visualization notebooks.
