This is a really important paper and such a privilege to be involved moving it forward. Sharon did a masterful job of synthesizing data from a diverse array of sites and drawing some super important conclusions for Critical Zone science. I’m confident the community will be interested in this paper

Wait, Thursday Night Football is good now?

As this article alludes to, while Vought has likely coveted theatrical chance to do this, the timing of this is not at all happenstance. It is inextricably linked to Trump’s ham handed attempt to get Polis to release his state-convicted, election-denying lackey Tina Peters from jail

I first learned the term "snow drought" in 2015, when we received normal amounts of winter precipitation in the Northwest but record winter warmth left us with very little snowpack. That summer saw dire outcomes for fish and agriculture due to record low stream flows. "Water, water everywhere..."

Jesus, I can hear the game at my house, more than 3 miles away

Stoked for the first pub of Stanley Akor’s PhD work in @agu.org Water Resources Research! We examine joint influences of the choose of microphysics scheme and lateral boundary condition dataset in WRF on simulated snowpack in the Rockies of Idaho. #OpenAccess #WRR #WRF #Snow

@idaholark.bsky.social is this a peacock?!? Seen on 22nd between State and Ellis on our walk to church this morning

FYI, if you have a Rush Bowl near you and they still have Pumpkin Spice Bowls, they’re totally fire

New lab paper: How does photosynthesis respond to assumptions about stomatal functioning? We find that including atmospheric feedbacks reverses the direction of photosyn. response => stomatal cond. changes temp. & water stress. Led by Amy Liu, w/ many collaborators! doi.org/10.1029/2025...

Wait, why am I a modeler again?

Let’s go!!! #BroncosCountry

Perhaps unpopular opinion, but I just want to hear the launch calls, not the fandom

That “dog that hasn’t barked” email from 2011 is giving off some very Whitey Bulger and Sammy Gravano vibes. What’s worse than being in the files?!? It might be being outed as a CI who snitched to avoid being prosecuted for some very bad and embarrassing crimes

Meanwhile, Filipino dads out here explaining how the son of the aunt of a friend of the doctor that treated a manufacturer of a fishing hook used by a fisherman to catch a bangus picked every day by your dad’s uncle’s dog in the pelengke in the Philippines is your cousin.

We are so excited to share the results of this work! Annalise Guthrie’s hard work demonstrates how the loss and regeneration of deep roots can change the way deep soils are structured at a continental scale. This was such a joy to work on! @agu.org agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Parents of 3rd-8th graders, especially those in grades 6-7, about to enter the chat ~>

I get that the college roster is big enough that 0-99 might not be enough, but how does this happen. Also, like 9 must be different from 09, right?

Huh. Wordle 1,537 2/6* ⬛🟨⬛⬛🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

What mechanisms underlie near-universal export patterns of dissolved carbon from land to rivers? Reactions at different depths regulate their directionality (+ or -); subsurface flow paths control strength Congrats to Dr. Bryn Stewart! rubyfu.caltech.edu/people/bryn-... doi.org/10.1029/2024...

I can just looking at them both how much they’re suffering from mitochondrial dysfunction

I don’t follow my home state politics as much as I do its pro sports, but wtf is going on with Polis?

I don’t shop at Temu, and think it and things like Shein are symptoms of a larger problem, but “Temu tax” is sitting right there to use as a talking point

New paper with our community partners! We used four years of community science E. coli measurements to look at patterns in Atlanta streams. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Discussions are beginning around a possible MODFLOW & More Conference in 2026.💧We’d love your input as we consider options. Please take a few minutes to complete our short survey: igwmc.princeton.edu/modflow-2026... Also, check out 2024 highlights + past short course info @reedh2o.bsky.social

The writing has been on the wall, if you read the skinny budget and then the full budget request. Eliminating two satellites is risky, which we saw when GOES-17 needed to be moved to standby ahead of schedule and GeoXO could be a longer program than GOES-R. But it’s just more of the same.

Domes are cool and all but it would be cool for one of these to be scheduled at Mile High Stadium (the only correct name)

reminds me of Borg nanobots... every time I see a new photo there's been some new, tacky gold nanobots that have sprung up

1. Federal funding for research promotes tech, biomedical, and scientific discovery in the US, and provides training for the sci/tech workforce that has brought immeasurable wealth to the US over the past 75 years. Today's executive order includes a provision that will obliterate both functions.

I think there's a good argument to be made that EPSN, in general, hasn't been good for fans... even if I enjoy some of the content

This looks like a shitty patio at any city or suburban office complex where employees are lucky if they can sit and eat their food truck lunch for 20 minutes. Like, it literally reminds me of where we used to eat lunch in grad school in Kendall Square

PIs, also get these for your grad students who work in remote locations ~>

wow... just did some digging and he's at least a yodan (4th degree black belt)

Found out yesterday at practice that a very famous hydrologist who's been influential on my career is also a very high level judoka... learned from a recent Boise arrival that has been attending our club and knows him through judo. What a small world!

Heads up for folks that frequented AMS Mountain Met or any of the conferences below! These were previously stand alone or joint meetings, but are being combined (similar to the 2025 AMS Denver Summit). While they’re losing a bit of identity, there will be benefits to collocation with other meetings!

If you've been influenced or inspired by the contributions of Rafael Bras to hydrology and related fields please consider contributing to the Rafael L. Bras Symposium at the @ametsoc.org meeting in Houston next January. I'm very excited to see other Bras hydrology family members and friends there!

A great opportunity to use the Rs playbook on them that shouldn't be wasted. *Everyone* should absolutely bully their R county commissioners (esp. Ada Co., lol), state officials, state leg, and others who have literally 0 authority in this about how they're "hiding the Epstein files."

lol, of course

lol, so I see Bongbong is in DC. I wonder how much POTUS gushes over his dad (very tough) and cringes over his mom in subtly racist ways.

I’m going to start a pool on when we get the “we’re excited to announce that we’re now ‘partnering’ with Workday!”

Official theme song is former AGOTUS Ashcroft singing “Let the Eagle Soar.” In other news, the Athletic has signed Ashcroft to an NIL deal.

Отлично! Иди туда - на фронте!

The discourse surrounding precipitation changes in a warming climate (both public discussion and even scientific one at times) is complicated by widespread conflation of changes in averages vs extremes (and also actual vs *potential* evaporation/evaporative demand). [Thread]

Meh, I'll wait till the 93/7 bork goes on sale

His comment makes sense when you realize that any place he sees brown or black people in a public space, going about their business he perceives it to be inherently unsafe and the people as uncontrolled and uncontrollable.

“Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections” he writes between bites of a steak burrito with queso, guacamole, and sour cream
