I'm a scientist because 52 years ago the National Science Foundation supported me, as a high school student, to do real research at a university summer science program. The destruction of US science by Trump and the Republicans today will weaken the country for decades.

These are war crimes under the Geneva Convention and its 1977 Additional Protocols. qudsnen.co/oxfam-israel...

Federal science agencies are under threat. AGU has made it easy to advocate for NSF, NOAA, NASA and more. Visit AGU’s Science Policy Action Center to stand up for science. fromtheprow.agu.org/standing-tog...

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...

NOAA’s vast public weather data powers the local forecasts on your phone and TV – a private company alone couldn’t match it theconversation.com/noaas-vast-p...

One of the main issues wee outlined in our fire/water report was about water availability during fires. Despite article focus on this being an LA problem, it’s a widespread problem. Many recommendations here for addressing (hint: during a fire is too late) innovation.luskin.ucla.edu/wp-content/u...

If you happen to be one of the approximately 12 people left at #AGU24 this afternoon, come hear me talk about urban trees and machine learning (H53W-03) from 2:34-2:46!

This afternoon are the Urban Environmental Interactions oral sessions (H53W and H54F) at #AGU24 - 2:10 pm in 147A @cgerleinsafdi.bsky.social

In case you missed my #AGU24 Monday poster with @aditibhaskar.bsky.social and Jorge Santiago Ramírez Núñez, here it is! Using CNN image classification to predict flow presence and absence at West Stroh Gulch.

This afternoon at #AGU24 is the poster session for Urban Environmental Interactions: People, Plants, and Water in the Built Environment (1087-1111) @cgerleinsafdi.bsky.social

#AGU2024 - "Climate Science and Big Oil Need to Go Their Separate Ways" NASA Earth Scientist Dr. Peter Kalmus wrote an opinion piece this week on the importance of The American Geophysical Union (AGU) cutting ties with the fossil fuel industry. Read about it here: bit.ly/3VzOTQO

I remember 20+ years ago Exxon funding the AGU student networking breakfast. It was all a little sus then. But now?! Get with the times. That industry is whatever the opposite of honest broker is when it comes to science. Regardless of anything else, a science org can't take their money. #AGU24

In case no one told you: @agu.org session numbers actually mean something! First letter(s) = Discipline First number = Day (1 = Monday, 2 = Tuesday, etc.) Second number = Timeslot (1, 2 = morning; 3, 4 = afternoon; 5 = evening) Last letter = Concurrent session

NSF makes you say who you got conflicts (coauthored) with. We (really just Jordan Matelsky) just built you a tool for that. Literally one click: bib.experiments.kordinglab.com/nsf-coa

What metrics can we use to compare across watersheds how well stormwater control networks are doing? 🧐 I recently presented at University of Minnesota for the Stormwater Seminar Series on "Stormwater Control Measures: Selection and Watershed-Scale Effectiveness". https://buff.ly/40IWwb6

Haven’t come across a water people list so I made my first starter pack! A broadly defined set of #water experts go.bsky.app/V1LydbV

We are seeking a domestic PhD student with a background in Civil and Environmental Engineering or a related field to participate in a graduate program focused on the resilience and sustainability of the built environment. Read more about the projects at www.colorado.edu/gaann-infras....

Saw an electric BBQ in operation today. Fundamentally indistinguishable from a fossil gas BBQ in the heating it provides. Draws 2.3 kW which is......meaty.

Starting in 2020, we've been monitoring streamflow in West Stroh Gulch, a watershed south of Denver. This is rangeland that is right now under development to become housing (www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3df...). This drone footage was captured recently by Santiago Ramírez and Junwon Lee

“3,500+ US Scholars to President Biden: You Must Act Now to Prevent Genocide in Gaza.” From New England Scholars Speak. Submitted to POTUS & senators today. Academics & scholars can still add their names to the letter (see link at bottom) #academicsky #geosky #polisky #gendersky #highered 🐓🧪🎋⚒️🔌

Glad to be on BlueSky and connect with people here! It's been a while since I left Twitter, and I joined Mastodon but didn't ever connect much there.

Friends, I wrote up a quick guide to getting started on Bluesky for folks who are used to old Science Twitter. Please share it with your folks who are joining. And please let me know if I missed anything or got anything wrong. 🧪 www.southernfriedscience.com/bluesky-is-n...

Do you want to learn more about graduate opportunities in Civil Engineering at CU Boulder at the #2023NDiSTEM meeting? Sign up here to talk with me at the SACNAS meeting Thursday or Friday this week at calendly.com/aditibhaskar...
