I plan to write about teaching for the next two semesters at this substack. I think it'll be an interesting/useful exercise and it feels cathartic right now. I'll keep posts short. Maybe check it out if reading about teaching sounds fun? Intro post in comment below.

Researchers will present at #AGU24 on using passive seismic recordings at Hubbard Brook to understand how depth-to-bedrock affects headwater stream flow. This approach may enhance future predictions of stream network changes in post-glacial settings. #Bluesci #science 💧 🗓️🔗: bit.ly/AGU24_H11T16

Hi all, the starter pack below has been significantly updated now, and I will continue to update it further, whenever time allows. Once this starter pack is full (Bluesky currently allows only up to 150 people per starter pack), I will start another one and call it - Part 2. go.bsky.app/2h9ouZY

Agricultural tile drains, which are widely used across the Midwestern USA, are used to reduce waterlogging. In this new Env Res Letters article, Seth Adelsperger (IU PhD candidate) et al. show that they also increase the duration, frequency, and severity of streamflow drought. #climate #geosky 🧪

That’s a wrap on year 10 of teaching! Psyched to finish it up seeing this comment on an end-of-class survey. “I am horrible horrible at science, so thank you for making me feel like i could understand it for once!!” That’s what it’s all about!
