Turning a map room into an escape room, what a fantastic idea! 🤩

"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

THEY. WERE. DOING. THIS. WITHOUT. PAY. NOAA’s hurricane hunter pilots (and Kermit The Frog hanging from the control panel) fly into Hurricane Melissa. Extraordinary bravery, saving lives. (🎥 Cmdr. Danielle Varwig, NOAA Corps).

„it is the “system” and not luck that should provide the necessary support [to academic parents]“ Very happy to have been part of the enlightening blog series. Thank you to all our interviewees for giving their honest insights.

Caravan News🐪🐫 I just published Version 1.6. The main update is that the source data for CAMELS-AUS was upgraded to CAMELS-AUS v2. This means more basins (561 vs 222) and more recent streamflow data (2022 vs 2014). All relevant links in thread 🧵 (please share/repost)

What if you laid out all the meanders of a river along a straight line, so that you can break the river into straight-ish segments and fill arbitrary spaces? This is the Purus River in Brazil; you can see how it is getting wider and the meanders are getting larger in the downstream direction

🧪Tune in Thursday at 11 AM Eastern for this month's #WARR talks- Drs Manuela Brunner & Jenny Druhan will explore how hydrologic extremes impact water quality Register here: www.cee.psu.edu/events/women...

The Young Hydrologic Society is on Bluesky now!✨ We, like many other scientific societies, decided to join the Bluesky platform. The scope of this account will be the same as before: We'll post updates on conferences, workshops, seminars, webinars, vacancies, etc. Follow us for updates! Cheers!

The Freiburg groups of Environmental Hydrological Systems and Hydrology have a Bluesky account now 🤓🎉 If you are interested in hydrological science and the latest updates from Freiburg, I recommend following it! 👉 @hydrofreiburg.bsky.social

Where we study #coastal #groundwater is significantly biased. This skewed view limits our understanding of natural processes and how climate change and human activities impact coastal ecosystems. Check out the full paper here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

It's a real shame EGU (bsky.app/profile/euro...) is not posting anything on BlueSky (despite ~5K followers here) but has kept business as usual on X'treme.

Looking for a way to programmatically animate your paper Figures? Checkout the blog post that I've written on soil model animations with some codes: deepgroundwater.com/blog/soils-a...

Only a few days left to submit your EGU abstract. If you are working with new or unusual data sources, check out ITS1.13/NH13.1 (is it only me or is that ID oddly satisfying?) meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio...

✅ Going to EGU 2025? 👉 Check out our session on the mechanisms of water quality dynamics and informed mitigation measures to protect water quality, and submit now! ⌛Abstract submission is open until January 15, 13:00 CET

📢 Time to prepare your abstract for the #EGU25 If you work on topics related to urbanization's impact on #naturalhazards and seek approaches to overcome barriers to disaster-resilient urban management Submit to 👉 NH9.8 - How urban pressures can shape or increase the occurrence of ‘natural’ hazards

Wir suchen eine(n) neue Doktorandin/en für unser Projekt CrowdWater UZH: www.geo.uzh.ch/dam/jcr:c682... , bitte beachten: für diese Stelle werden Deutschkenntnisse benötigt (eventuellt kan tyskan kompenseras med goda kunskaper i svenska ;-) )

Once again a great opportunity to meet and discuss with like-minded people working on the interface of text data/NLP and earth sciences! Come join us for this one day workshop in Leipzig next year!

This is an amazing tool that makes the long process of finding an #EGU25 session to submit to soooo much easier. Thanks Jan! Obviously, if you are working with text data, no need to check but directly go for ITS1.13/NH13.1 😝 meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio...

Such an amazing visualization to think about how even high resolution models are not digital twins!

It seems the link below doesn't work. Use this one to see the favorite papers uploaded by early career scientists: padlet.com/msprenger2/f...

I can really recommend this conference. If you have the chance, do go. It’s so great for meeting people and non-stop novel science discussions 🤓

Science is better because you’re part of it. Happy LGBTQIA+ in STEM day! #QueerInSTEM #PolarPride

Knowing how deep groundwater is can help us understand how much water is available for plants and people. Unfortunately, different models that try to predict this disagree widely. doi.org/10.1088/1748...

Very cool! Glad to finally see some hydrology traffic on this platform 😊

Great overview. Thanks for creating @luximus.bsky.social

All three statements are true at the same time

„Das Versäumnis der Behörden ist ein Beispiel, was es bedeutet, wenn rechtsextreme Politik auf Umweltkatastrophen trifft. Eine Bedingung von Vox für die Unterstützung von Carlos Mazón als Regionalpremier war die Auflösung der valencianischen Notfallreaktionseinheit.“ jacobin.com/2024/10/spai...

The 2024 Living Planet Index (LPI) reports a 73% average decline in wildlife populations. While extremely worrying, the numbers presented in the LPI report are often misunderstood. Read our guide to understanding what the LPI does and doesn't mean: ourworldindata.org/2024-living-...

“Earth science for all? The economic barrier to European geoscience conferences” I reviewed this paper and I cannot recommend it highly enough. And because it’s an @eurogeosciences.bsky.social journal, it’s OA and my review is public 👍🏾 gc.copernicus.org/articles/7/2...

Very interesting paper here on what gets scientific attention and what doesn't
