First day of this semester of Terrestrial Hydrology! Full house!!

Science may be under attack, but inclusive science always prevails. This tee is more than just a statement—it’s a stand. 100% of profits go to AGU, which has supported scientists for over 100 years and continues to lead the charge to defend them today. Support science: buff.ly/khcOLvk

So excited for the 2nd edition of this all-encompassing urban ecohydrology session, aiming to bring together the entire urban science community at #AGU25! H147 - Urban Ecohydrology in a Changing Climate: People–Plant–Water Dynamics in the Built Environment agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/pr... @agu.org

So much Ecohydrology coming up at #AGU25!! 😍🤩

Do you work on Land Use/Land Cover change and its impact on the water cycle and/or the climate? Then consider submitting to our #AGU25 session: agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/pr... Sam Zipper and Erin Hanan will be our invited speakers! We look forward to seeing you in NOLA! 🥳

News post about our recent paper on methane emissions in tropical wetlands, check it out!

Vital research data is disappearing in front of our eyes! ⚠️ Right now, NOAA is being blocked from using satellite data to monitor sea ice loss. 😖 Not knowing how the Arctic is changing will not diminish its impact on our climate, it just makes us more vulnerable to the consequences.

I gave in! After students asking for it, I now made a simple figure design checklist. To help all scientists w/o graphic skills create clear, accessible, and truthful charts! -> Out in @nature Cell Biology: rdcu.be/erwl4 #DataVisualization #PhD #SciComm Thx for review @bethcimini.bsky.social + 2

I was today years old when I discovered that the @wmo-global.bsky.social maintains a list of nearly all Earth observation missions 🛰️ ever launched, making it possible to query a variable and find every mission that produced it, past, present, and future and across all agencies in the world! 🤯

Just about done with my 1st week as a Visiting Scholar at the @wmo-global.bsky.social where I will spend the summer! It has been a whirlwind of new faces and exciting projects to learn about, and I’m looking forward to contributing to the agency’s efforts on remote sensing of water and ecohydrology!

So excited to see this paper, led by Ying Xiong, out in Nature Communications Earth & Environment! We used our CYGNSS-based inundation maps to compare global trends in inundations to recent trends in atmospheric methane concentrations and found...

UC Berkeley Engineering celebrated its newest graduates over the course of three ceremonies last week, honoring more than 2,000 bachelor’s, master’s and Ph.D. degree recipients. 🎓🎉 #BEGrad25 Read our event roundup: bit.ly/3Hf0Gjk

Excited to announce that my PhD student, Paul Seibert, just received a SCGSR fellowship from the Department of Energy! www.energy.gov/science/arti...

Wonderful to listen to Dennis @biometlab.bsky.social recount a career of curiosity-driven research yesterday during the ESPM seminar, what an inspiration to us all!

All hands on deck for the final biomass collection of Becca’s senior thesis looking at the physiological impact of increased salinity on native and invasive species from the Sacramento-San Joaquin delta! A beautiful day to count and cut shoots! 🌱

⚠️New preprint alert!⚠️ My student Paul Seibert's very first paper is in review, but you can already read up on his work establishing the impact of drought on foliar uptake ability for the grasses of our foggy study site in Point Reyes (with @eesaberkeleylab.bsky.social). 🌿🌁

Incredible study sheet made by one of my students, connecting all the aspects of surface hydrology we have covered so far in my graduate hydrology course! 🤯

But our work is far from done—science is still under attack. We’ve got ideas, but we want to hear from you. What’s worrying you most? What should we do next? How can we grow this movement together? Fill out this quick form to share your thoughts & stay connected: forms.gle/QAxH4wD4Y3sg...

Scenes from the incredible turnout today at Berkeley's @standupforscience.bsky.social rally. @tedmiguel.bsky.social, @jenniferdoudna.bsky.social, and dozens of researchers, elected officials, and citizens defended science and the jobs, health benefits, and progress it creates for all Americans.

Thousands march at UC Berkeley today to #standupforscience

Standing up for science with UC Berkeley colleagues and students, today and every day! #Standupforscience @standupforscience.bsky.social

Had a great day yesterday visiting @oregonstate.edu’s campus for the first time! Thanks Steve and the Water Resources program for the seminar invitation!

A new paper is always a nice way to start the year! Led by Xin Lin at @lsce-ipsl.bsky.social, we explore the impact of tropical inundation on the global methane budget.

Happy New Year 2025 from the land of crazy trees!

17-year-long Scottish study of 82,000+ adults finds commuting by bike reduces your risk of: • early death • hospitalisation for any reason • cardiovascular disease • cancer mortality • treatment for mental health problems. Yeah, but those LTNs and bike lanes are *really* annoying.

What an awesome time at #AGU24! It’s always amazing to catch up with old friends and colleagues, meet new people, and see my own students blossom in this stimulating environment!

Still planning your schedule for #AGU24? Don't miss all the great presentations from my lab! Satellites 🛰️, plants 🌱, dew 💦, machine learning 💻, and of course lots and lots of water 🌊! See you all in DC!

I was absolutely clueless about academia coming into grad school (my parents were an accountant and homemaker) and I was baffled at how other students knew how to navigate it all so easily while I fumbled my way. Academics tend to assume you know how things work. If you’re new, ask for help.

The UC Berkeley Botanical Garden just published an article on our group's work looking at #SIF of a taro plant, check it out! botanicalgarden.berkeley.edu/research-con...

⚠️ New paper alert! ⚠️ Using #CYGNSS-based inundation maps of teh Pantanal and #WetCHARTs methane emissions model to compare to #TROPOMI data: CYGNSS helps get the model closer to the data but the model is still underestimating what TROPOMI sees! More 👉 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Only two days left to send in your abstract for AGU's WaterSciCon conference this summer in St Paul! Get it done!!
