super excited to share that my first dissertation chapter is out in WRR! here, we operationalize the river corridor of a headwater Coastal Plain network into hydrogeomorphic features to characterize hydrologic connectivity across dimensions check it out here: doi.org/10.1029/2024...

The classical runoff generation session is also at #AGU25 a highlight for catchment hydrologists attending the @agu.org conference in December. If you would like to contribute, make sure to submit your abstract by the end of July! Great lineup of invited speakers!

Climate.gov will likely soon shut down, as most of the staff charged with maintaining it were fired. 🧪 eos.org/research-and...

🚨New paper alert! We investigated the hydro-meteorological drivers of event runoff characteristics in three catchments with forest, grassland and agricultural land use, highlighting the differences in runoff generation mechanisms between land use types: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Gene Likens to the @theguardian.com: “I hope we don’t go back to the old days, so these rollbacks are very alarming. I care about the health of my children and grandchildren, I want them to have clean air to breathe. I care about clean water and clean and healthy soil, I want them to have that too.”

🚨 #NOAA is essential for weather forecasting, climate research, and public safety. AGU stands with the scientific community in urging Congress to protect and strengthen NOAA, not dismantle it. Our economy, environment, and safety depend on it.

Congressional visits today for the Water Resources Research Act!

At Hubbard Brook, researchers are uncovering how snow depth and persistence shift across short distances. They’re using drones to map “snow microclimates.” @unhresearch.bsky.social Jeremy Johnston presented some of this work during the @agu.org 2024 Fall meeting: bit.ly/AGU24_C21E16

3.. 2.. 1.. GO! #VTGivingDay starts NOW! The countdown is over, and we’re ready to make an impact with YOUR help! Support the GCC and fuel innovative research, real-world solutions, impactful education and thoughtful outreach. Be part of the change! ➡️ givingday.vt.edu/amb/gcc
