Any geoscience/hydrology-oriented scientific illustrators out there? I have funding to help me build water resources educational content for the citizens of New Mexico! DM me if interested!

Previously I mentioned a couple of ways I could harden my house against wildfire (fiber cement siding, metal roof). Here's an article describing how that all works. www.kqed.org/science/1941...

"I don't think it should be acceptable that people's lives will be mangled like this. I know conditions will only get worse, but that doesn't mean the way we deal with them will also have to degrade alongside them." @redford.bsky.social defector.com/the-future-o...

A M7.1 earthquake just occurred in the Tibetan plateau, NE of Nepal. A normal-mechanism event - accommodating east-west extension of the plateau. A significant event, but hopefully impacts will be mitigated by the remoteness of the location. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

Finally the Merced drying two years ago is getting a bit of press. TLDR… users took too much water, but were within legal rights to do so. And there’s a lack of data to help inform changes. www.sfchronicle.com/california/a...

Nice drinking water you got there, if you can keep it. My story about how water (drinking and waste water) are losing workers right when because of climate change we need them most. Gift link.

Is science political? Should scientists advocate? How should we do science communication when pseudoscience and anti-science are official government practices? Come hear my Stephen Schneider Memorial Lecture at AGU's annual convention in Washington, Wednesday Dec. 11. 2pm.

Breaking: The board of California’s largest urban water supplier has voted to spend $141.6 million for a large share of preliminary planning work on the state's proposed water tunnel in the Delta. www.latimes.com/environment/...

Get ready for all our great sessions at #AGU24 this week! #EPSPatAGU24 #AGWOO

To come up with the name "Operation: Italy" and not make the obvious leap to THE ITALIAN JOB is driving me insane. #Survivor47

Looking to break in to #scicomm? Here are some tips! wendybohon.com/2022/03/30/b...

A couple of follow-ups re: today's California #quakes: 1) There was actually only one significant quake as of 1pm PT--the M7.0 SW of Eureka. The far northern Sonoma County quake was actually ~M4.1 but initially registered higher due to conflicting data. [1/3]

I'm not even going to #AGU24, but I'm still saying things like "wow I can't believe AGU is next week already" because that's just how geoscientists measure time.

New #microplastics paper alert. Led by the awesome Dr Freija Mendrik, from her PhD work, we show that 86 % of microplastics are transported below the water surface. For representative samples, sample at 0.5-0.6 of the depth www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The print version of my book Getting to the Heart of Science Communication is half price from @islandpress.bsky.social right now, along with so many fantastic other titles! islandpress.org/books/gettin...

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

I started a ‘fluvial geomorphology & related river science’ starter pack for those of you joining us at Bluesky &and those wanting to build the community! Let me know if you want to be added— I’m sure I’ve missed lots of people. go.bsky.app/S5RPXHk

Tropical storm Helene caused 'catastrophic' damage to Asheville’s water treatment and distribution system, cutting off at least 70% of the city’s drinking water supply.

I'm gonna throw some love at the band the Amoeba People in hopes that you'll find their geo-themed material just as fun and educational as I do. They have an entire album called the Fossil Record and their song "Girl Talk - The Story of Marie Tharp" is excellent. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nuug...

Postdoc opportunity coming soon! Later this summer I'll be recruiting a 2yr postdoc to do snowmelt modeling and fieldwork in the beautiful Henry's Fork River watershed. Start date is after 10/01/24. Details to come, but reach out to me if interested or know someone who would be! #Hydrology

First ever issue of @sedimentologika.bsky.social is out. You can read it here: 🧪 Geology ⚒️ oap.unige.ch/journals/sdk...

This is definitely how some places teach geology. There’s this notion that geology has to be what it was 50 years ago because that’s what I had to learn. The need for earth science has evolved tremendously, weird that some places the education of it has not.

Very cool #FlumeFriday

Anyone interested in volunteering with AGU EPSP? We have several openings on committees and are especially looking for folks to help us with social media. Come chat with me at AGU next week, or DM or email me for more info. connect.agu.org/epsp/about/c...

This article by E. Freund and others is the coolest work I've seen in a while. They show how groundwater inputs determine the shape of river networks! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

I've started not caring how many exclamation marks I use in emails and it is *liberating*

My department is searching for a Postdoctoral Fellow that will convert to a tenure-track Assistant Professor job after 1-2 years! Do you use eDNA? Or remote sensing? Or modeling? Or field work? Do you study environmental science? Or paleoclimate? Or BEAVERS? Our search is broad! Apply!

Cool cool cool a "Ring of Fire" solar eclipse is coming October 14, and the entire continental US will experience at least a partial eclipse. Here's how to watch it, from @philplait.bsky.social 🧪 scientificamerican.com/article/how-...

What can dead trees tell us about earthquakes? Quite a lot, as it turns out. 🧪⚒️

Are you a geophysicist looking for a job? Are you okay with living swamp adjacent? Well, think about applying for the Assistant Professor position in Geophysics here at LSU! This is a pretty broad call that targets basically any kind of geophysics.

In the U.S., you can order four free COVID tests here starting today: special.usps.com/testkits (which also has info on updated expiration dates for older tests) 🧪

Sure, women are growing in representation among undergrads and grad students. But then there's this. Fig by Rissler et al 2020. The research by social scientists has shown that this isn't a passive filter. It's caused by harassment, discrimination, and overt bias. academic.oup.com/bioscience/a...

Finally made it over here! Sad there aren't gifs here yet...
