Riverside Technology, inc. services

The Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Services (AHPS) Program improves NOAA’s response capabilities through the development of new scientific advancements in river, flood, and drought forecasting. Using sophisticated meteorological and hydrological computer modeling combined with remote sensing data, AHPS research and activities produce state-of-the-art river and stream forecasts. Riverside Technology, inc. (Riverside) helped NOAA accomplish its goals through the infusion of new science and technology for integrated water resources management using the formulation, planning, and execution of specialized hydrometeorologic, hydrologic, and hydraulic modeling to generate advanced hydrologic forecasting products.

Riverside provides planning and survey support for National Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS) Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) projects in Fort Collins, Colorado. NWRS uses I&M surveys to assess the status and trends of refuge lands, waters, plants and wildlife, as well as their responses to management actions. The national I&M initiative coordinates the design, collection, retention, and analysis of critical scientific information across the Refuge System. The Riverside team assists with development of Inventory and Monitoring Plans, rigorous scientific protocols, and support tools to help fulfill I&M objectives.

Riverside provides IT support services to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Fort Collins, Colorado. NRCS works with landowners, land operators, and others through conservation planning and assistance to benefit the soil, water, air, plants, and animals for productive lands and healthy ecosystems. The Riverside team builds science-based technology, tools, and applications to help people understand, preserve and increase the productivity of our natural resources.

Riverside provided support services to the Department of Interior, US Geological Survey (USGS) Northeast Servicing Area. To assist the USGS in fulfilling its mission, Riverside provided science and technical support services in the areas of administrative; program management services; research/science; data and information management; computer systems administration, operations, and maintenance; geospatial applications, modeling, and associated technologies; web and database applications; and technical project management.

One of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)’s missions is to understand and predict changes in climate, weather, oceans, and coasts. To help accomplish this goal, Riverside is supporting the Coastal Data Development (CDD) Program activities at the John C. Stennis Space Center in Mississippi by providing subject matter experts, scientists, and scientific analysts, as well as on-board support of the NOAA ship Okeanos Explorer.

In order to better understand how climate change increases risks, the General Services Administration (GSA) selected Riverside to review and evaluate published information on the effects of climate change on the telecommunications and data centers sectors, and report our findings and recommendations for moving forward.
