also life update: a lot happened in Sept… I defended my dissertation, and got to share all the exciting things we’ve learned about small southeastern streams! I also started as a postdoc at Oregon State! i’m stoked to work with @wardhydro.bsky.social on the role headwaters play in downstream WQ!

Looking for a postdoc, and interested in river-coastal linkages, #remote sensing, and time series analysis? Come work with us @natureatcal.bsky.social on an exciting project led by @rachelspatial.bsky.social! CC @sfs-src.bsky.social @aslo.org @cerfscience.bsky.social ‪‪@caseagrant.bsky.social‬

Having find a the Powell center with the Analysis and synthesis of headwater streamflow group. With @floodhydrology.bsky.social @mcmillanhydro.bsky.social @lireactivewater.bsky.social @aphydro.bsky.social and many others.

I'm incredible excited to share that @thatsmedelp.bsky.social successfully defended her PhD last week. Delaney's dissertation focused on hydrologic connectivity of headwater systems across the southeastern US (i.e., "Headwaters and their hollows.") #RollTide #BamaEcoHydro

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...

Hurricane Helene caused catastrophic damage throughout Appalachia, including North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia. And during a disaster like that, fast decision making is important. [1/3]

Flood waves like those that devastated Texas last week can be seen by the NASA #SWOT satellite. Another reason to support #NASA Earth Science

Big CONGRATS to @morejam59.bsky.social for successfully defending her MS thesis today on groundwater and surface water connectivity in headwater wetlands!!! Jasmine is headed to Boise State this fall to pursue a PhD in Hydrology.

Another great GRC Catchment Symposium in the books! Enjoyed catching up with old colleagues/friends, meeting new colleagues, and all the fun of science summer camp! #BamaEcoHydro

Excited for our new paper with NC health depts and @floodhydrology.bsky.social and @northeasternu.bsky.social estimating impacts to environmental health services after #Helene pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Grades submitted. What a wild year! I'm grateful for my students, our collaborators, and the larger hydrologic science community. I'm also grateful for the meaningful work we're doing and everything we've been able to accomplish together. Keep up the good fight y'all, and Cheers!

“This budget is a recipe for ending the US' leadership in science. It would do generational damage by forcing labs to shut down, with a corresponding loss of highly trained individuals and one-of-a-kind research materials.”

More bad news for US science, indirect rates capped at 15% will further gut our research institutions & univerisities www.nsf.gov/policies/doc...

Approaches to artificial reoxygenation have been studied as possible solutions to coastal oxygen loss, but they come with risks that must be assessed carefully, write @carolineslomp.bsky.social @ribesresearch.bsky.social & @aoschlies.bsky.social @geomarkiel.bsky.social eos.org/features/cou...

Happy International #Beaver Day! Do you have a question about beavers, their wetlands, or how they relate to climate change? Ask it here! I’ll be sharing bits of beaver knowledge throughout the day, and if there is a question I *don’t* know the answer to, I will know who to ask to get it!

Grading exams (tis the season...) Apparently my students have figured out I give partial credit if they can make me laugh...and honestly I'm ok with this.

I'm pleased to share a new publication led by Ph.D. student Kriddie Whitmore. We measured dissolved carbon dioxide (pCO2), aquatic CO2 emissions, discharge, and stream depth and width at high spatial resolution in 3 watersheds of the Ecuadorian páramo agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

#CriticalZone at #EGU25

Reading one of my favorite articles today in class!!! This is one of the best pieces of #SciCom I've ever read -- it does an incredible job of describing why our atmosphere is ~21% O2, how modern #MegaFires will (not!) impact O2 levels, and how burning #FossilFuels short circuits global C cycles!

Dear friends and colleagues! I'm looking for a riparian zone (area) spatial layer for 🇨🇦 Canada 🇨🇦 (or ind. provinces/territories). Something simple that has been delineated using a DEM and estimated flood height, for example. Image below is purely eye candy. Many thanks ... from a Canadian 🇨🇦

@kacizarek.bsky.social's MS paper has been highlighted in Eos! Check out what we're learning about how stream drying impacts N cycling.

Excited to see @kacizarek.bsky.social's MS research featured in @eos.org!

When streams dry up, it can mean big changes for the nitrogen cycle—but those changes don’t appear to be what scientists expected. eos.org/research-spo...

Congrats @devonkerins.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/hyp.... Flat, rainy sites (more silty/clayey soils): flashier streamflow + more sensitive to dynamic storage; Snowy sites (coarse sandy soils): less flashy streamflow, lower dynamic storage, lower sensitivity to storage, + more deeper flow.

Still my favorite way to describe carbon processing along the river corridor: youtu.be/AnHiAWlrYQc?...

The time that water spends to travel across the catchment isn’t just a driver of DOC concentration, but it also shapes its quality and reactivity in a low-order alpine stream. doi.org/10.1029/2024... @enricobertuzzo.bsky.social @riverepfl.bsky.social
