Just wanted to say that @ologies.bsky.social is one of my favorite podcasts I listen to with my wife & I was so happy she got a couple of rock ⭐s in our field to talk about #Hurricanes etc. Just listened to parts 1 & 2. Both are great episodes & totally accessible to the general public. Bravo 👏

Several groups have mobilized to offer assistance to people affected by the Guadalupe River floods. via @texaspublicradio.bsky.social

Very busy Thursday for the group at #EGU25 ☀️🌊🤪 #floods #droughts

Quinn Miller’s MS work is now out! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

“Groundwater dominates snowmelt runoff and controls streamflow efficiency in the western United States” www.nature.com/articles/s43...

“ROBIN: Reference observatory of basins for international hydrological climate change detection” www.nature.com/articles/s41...

StreamStats Delineations - Where are they? This figure shows the density of delineations per 25 square kilometer grid for all delineations over the period 3/16/24-3/15/25. www.usgs.gov/media/images...

New paper! After much work by me and my students we created a global database of hundreds of research watersheds, and perceptual models of their hydrologic processes. We use the data to test classic theories on how climate and landscape control dominant processes. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Latest paper out of the WS hydrology lab! Here we show spatial variability in lithology is important for streamflow behavior and carbon export, but geogenic solute export behavior is similar. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Hydrology Paper of the Day @margaretzimmer.bsky.social on how subsurface geology influences discharge and transport processes in two headwater catchments of the Diablo Range, California affected by wildfire: sedimentary and mélange lithologies, and understanding spatiotemporal DOC export.

“Global patterns in observed hydrologic processes” @mcmillanhydro.bsky.social @rarakihydro.bsky.social @jansei.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s44...

“Linking wetlands to relatively permanent flowing waters: a conterminous United States geospatial analysis” - 79% or 66% of freshwater palustrine wetlands are potentially connected to the stream network, depending if inclusive,exclusive flow permanence network used link.springer.com/article/10.1...

“A low-cost approach to monitoring streamflow dynamics in small, headwater streams using timelapse imagery and a deep learning model” egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20...

Science! Super proud of this commentary that results from conversations started at @agu.org in December. We propose the term hydrological whiplash, sub-seasonal transitions between hydrological extremes, and outline why we think this topic needs greater attention. doi.org/10.1002/hyp....

New paper from our group about something we do for a while but never took the time to publish. What can you do with missing data in deep learning based hydro models? Also I want to boost @gauchm.bsky.social. Welcome to BlueSky! Link to preprint, code and results in his thread.

New research from our faculty Kate Hale (@katehale.bsky.social) and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam’s Wouter Berghuijs shows how climate change affects river flows in snowy regions across the Northern Hemisphere. Learn more in the Nature publication: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The snow drought in the southwest could lead to lower and earlier peak and low flows, a longer duration at low flow, and lower runoff efficiency: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

-Climate change challenges traditional drought assessments -Reducing the sensitivity of drought indicators to non-stationarity is essential for accurately assessing drought -Multiple drought definitions or concepts are possible, and needed, to correctly assess drought in a changing climate

Great interview by @climateadam.bsky.social who never shies away from asking scientists the tough questions about how we FEEL ⬇️

@cleanetwork.bsky.social welcome, so glad to see you here! I just added you to this starter pack, where you will find many kindred spirits.

Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025! Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide! #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

Amongst all of this, our students are still publishing excellent papers. My recent Masters student Annie Holt, now at NWS, shows how geologic age and (region-dependent) wetland fraction metrics can be used to improve our predictions of baseflow in watersheds across the U.S.: doi.org/10.1002/hyp....

This!!!! The USGS just released the first National Water Availability Assessment report: pubs.usgs.gov/publication/.... Going to highlight some of my favorite figures after skimming the report and the corresponding #USGSvizlab sites water.usgs.gov/vizlab/water... for the first time in this thread.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Vizlab has just released a new, interactive data visualization website about the USGS National Water Availability Assessment Report and Data Companion. Explore the data and the key findings of the assessment at water.usgs.gov/vizlab/water... #DataViz #rstats #USGS

Learning about drought impacts for aquatic ecosystems in the Southeastern US over the next couple days, and presenting on the upcoming hydrological drought forecasting tool we’ll be rolling out for the conterminous US later this year!

Such a fun and brilliant group to work with! Thank you to Heather for leading us on this synthesis and Jay for leading our in person workshops and coordination efforts. Excited for the ongoing research this group is conducting :)

A little bit delayed, but I hear it's picking up over here so sending this out into the world: our Lafayette team including Rachel Hurley (now grad student at WPI), Dave Brandes, and me put out this piece on flashiness across the Mid-Atlantic: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

RIP Jimmy Carter. Thank you for this and so many other things.

www.worldweatherattribution.org/when-risks-b... “This exceptional year of extreme weather shows how dangerous life has already become with 1.3°C of human-induced warming, and highlights the urgency of moving away from planet-heating fossil fuels as quickly as possible.”

Linking extreme weather events with USGS GAGES2 watersheds. Starting with atmospheric rivers from www.nature.com/articles/s41... and hurricanes from NOAA HURDAT2. These maps are just coverages and do not represent storm strength. Didn’t realize ARs were so common in the eastern US!
