One year’s worth of rain in 24 hours in China. Here in NJ, we just had a 10-minute rainstorm so intense that it downed trees and power lines and flooded streets immediately. This is what a hotter climate does www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-as...

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

Hundreds of employees at the EPA released a “Declaration of Dissent” today, accusing EPA officials of politicizing the agency and undermining its core mission to “protect human health and the environment.” scim.ag/4lB937S

Don't forget to apply for the Headwaters Leadership Academy by Monday!

NEW: NSF will be kicked out of their building. Announcement will be made tomorrow by HUD Sec. and Governor of VA. HUD will take over the NSF building over the next two years. NSF staffer: "There is no planning for NSF, no identified future location, appropriation for a new building or a move."

Teach hydro modeling? Want to introduce modeling in an intro class? Check out this web-app, activities, and code (in case you want to spin off your own).. Thanks @jansei.bsky.social for working with me on this, which was inspired by his HBV-lite teaching software! dx.doi.org/10.1002/hyp....

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

My Canadian university, Queen's, is offering TWENTY 4-year funded PhDs (40k CAD/yr) for a student of ANY citizenship who has been accepted at a top 100 US university but have had offer rescinded OR are reconsidering offer due to US policy. Details found here👇 www.queensu.ca/grad-postdoc...

The National Science Foundation budget proposal would be a devastating blow to American science. 240,000 fewer people would be involved in federally-funded science in fiscal year 2026, according to estimates in the document. nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/00-NSF...

TO BE PERFECTLY CLEAR, THE PROPOSED NSF BUDGET CUTS NEARLY A QUARTER OF A MILLION PEOPLE FROM NSF ACTIVITIES. FOR INSTANCE, JOBS.

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)

An amazing group of dedicated federal workers celebrating 75 years of NSF supporting science. What a joy to be a part of! www.science.org/content/arti...

This is just a partial glimpse of the destruction of American science by Trump and the GOP.

Federal scientists will no longer update list of billion dollar weather weather disasters, NOAA said Thursday. List had been growing dramatically in recent years, a sign of both extreme weather & increasing development. Report by Scott Dance: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

OMFG. If there's any agency that is NOT top-heavy, it's NSF. Over 95% of the money flowing through NSF goes to awards.

The world is insane, but little things help ... "Wait, isn't NSE supposed to be close to 1?" So proud my students 1) know what NSE is, 2) know it's supposed to be close to 1, 3) chat it out when they're unsure!

Recently, all the AAAS Science & Tech Policy Fellows at EPA were terminated from our positions with little notice and for no clear reason. This effectively ended a partnership that had been going since 1980 and which had brought hundreds of scientists to the EPA as fellows, many of whom stayed. 1/7

And the first grant termination hits.

I am so heartened to this seriously AWESOME #SaveNSF website go up today!!!! Has a take action toolkit with: 1. Press outreach templates 2. Social media toolkit 3. Elected official outreach 4. Talking points Check it out and share widely!!!! Likely more to come. www.savensf.com

I'm heartbroken and so, so angry to say that my NSF grant that asks how we can make conferences better serve people doing environmental science in different sectors was terminated of Friday. Keep different back for science and let's hope for injunctions against these illegal actions.

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...

#WARR talks at the intersection of water science, justice, + governance. Dr. Xenopoulos: inclusive freshwater science + equity in publishing; Dr. Gupta: merging hydrology + intergenerational + procedural justice psu.zoom.us/meeting/regi... @waterbarnes.bsky.social @devonkerins.bsky.social

The #AGU Catchment Hydrology TC is spotlighting key catchments from the HYP special issue, Research and Observatory Catchments: The Legacy and the Future! 🧵 Today, we kick off with “Jonkershoek: Africa's oldest catchment experiment—80 years and counting”!

I love two stage tests: Overhearing the stuff students are organically discussing as they work collaboratively to get everyone a 100% on the 2nd stage of a two-stage coding-based exam so so so thoroughly dismisses any concerns I have with it taking up too much class time or not boosting learning.

Are you a PhD student or postdoc and want to share your great recent work with the Catchment Hydrology community? The AGU TC Catchment Hydrology has you covered: We invite you to share your work via the form below and we'll highlight it on our social media outlets. Don't be shy! Show your work 👍

Just thinking about what the US looked like before the EPA existed

When NSF cancelled its panels at the last moment, some folks took a financial hit on their housing reservations and NSF doesn't have any way to pay these folks back. So here's a fundraiser that I'm running to collect a bit of cash to help out a few of these junior colleagues in need.

🌊 Kicking off our #AGU Catchment Hydrology TC Early Career Competition 2024 posts with Belle Holthuis from @w-u-r.bsky.social, one of the winners! Thank you for sharing your favorite #hydrology paper with us! Stay tuned—more inspiring picks from #EarlyCareer researchers coming soon! 🔍💧

The National Science Foundation benefits communities in every state.

DEI initiatives are still legal. Universities need to stand their ground. A Friday gift to your university's General Counsel Office - courtesy of an all star lineup of civil rights lawyers and scholars. You're going to want to read this.

Upon learning that yesterday would be my last day as a program officer at the National Science Foundation, I shared this parting message with my colleagues. The next few months will be frenetic and stressful for them. Here are some things that you can do to help them with the mission ahead. (1)

Yesterday was the darkest day of my professional life so far. Many of NSF’s best and brightest people fired indiscriminately. The terms of their firing cruel. My colleagues matter, they are valued and they make a difference. I have no words. www.npr.org/2025/02/18/n...

🧪⚒️I have to admit, as a scientist it's bleak. So to add a bit of glimmer to your week- tune into this month's #WARR talks! Thurs 2/20, 11 AM ET Two excellent #WomenInSTEM share their thoughts on deciphering the complex relationships between climate, society & water 🔗 www.cee.psu.edu/events/women...

Do you live in the Southeast U.S.? Did you receive a tornado or severe t-storm warning from the NWS yesterday? Did you feel good knowing someone is watching out for you & letting you know potentially dangerous weather was headed your way? If so, maybe let others know why you think NWS is important.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Yes, postdocs at usgs were abruptly fired and locked out of buildings and computers.

Been thinking a lot about this lately. They’re attacking our work (whoever we are - scientists, healthcare professionals, media, non-profits) because our work threatens their grip on absolute power. Keep doing the work
