Congress has just released a list of federal DOI offices to be closed under the ongoing massacre of our natural resource agencies -- it's extensive and includes many important NPS, BLM, USGS and USFWS facilities across the country. Truly horrific. democrats-naturalresources.house.gov/imo/media/do...

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 can only HIGHLY recommend this book by my good friend James McNamara (professor of hydrology) In The Wake: An 80 Day Canoe Odyssey into Canada's Northern Wilderness. In 1991 they loaded a canoe with food for 3 months and paddled into the canoe county of northern Canada. You can order via amazon.

Do you use trail cameras to monitor streams, rivers or other water bodies? Looking for a platform to turn those images into relative flow or stage information? Or even just to look back through all of your images? Check out Flow Photo Explorer! www.usgs.gov/apps/ecoshed...

Going to the #AGU24 Fall Meeting? Interested in new results from the SWOT satellite over oceans, rivers, lakes, and wetlands? We have you covered! here's a cheat sheet for SWOT-specific sessions, plus other presentations. Thanks to UNC grad student Marissa Hughes for putting this together. 🧪

Great piece by @andreatweather.bsky.social in @sciam.bsky.social on the recent Eastern US drought compared to the West. Key msg here is short but impactful droughts here in East leaving region vulnerable and resilient b/c of distributed water supplies www.scientificamerican.com/article/what...

NEW: This week's climate graphic looks at the ongoing drought conditions in the north-eastern US, which have sparked numerous wildfires and reduced reservoir levels. Read @aimewilliams.bsky.social and @janatausch.bsky.social's report ft.com/content/533b... #dataviz

If prolonged dry spells, flash droughts, and a return to pre-1970s hydroclimate occurs in the future, we likely need to adjust to more fires in the Nottheastern US, esp around piney & coniferous ecosystems. (But, oh, that title)

Finally raining right now in Western Mass. Been an incredible and historical dry streak. The 1" or so of precip will help abate additional fire risk but we have a HUGE soil moisture deficit that needs to be addressed before rivers will run again. Many of the streams near my house are completely dry

Holy shit. That’s a hell of a fire on the South side of the Blue Hills. Rain can’t come soon enough.

I've started working on this starter pack (Hydrology+Hydrogeology+Water in general) to help friends/colleagues who are migrating from the other place. Please note that this is work in progress and that more people will be added. Feel free to suggest BlueSky handles in comments. go.bsky.app/2h9ouZY

Inspired by a post @efisherwx.bsky.social on the other platform. Check out the magnitude of precipitation in the last calendar year here in Western Mass. Pretty similar trend across most of SNE. Just an insane amount of water and no tropical systems in here either. #hydrology #groundwaterflooding

Take a look at our recent work on understanding #water table rise in one of the few parts of the US where we are seeing increasing aquifer levels and struggling with understanding where water will rise and at what rates. If you live in Mass fill out survey www.umass.edu/news/article...
