Hello - I am a Research Limnologist with the US Geological Survey. I work at the nexus of data science, open science, and the aquatic sciences, where I tackle decades-old ecological questions with cutting edge data and computational methods. scholar.google.com/citations?us...

Hey #AGU25 water folks, if you submit your abstracts last minute (like I do), please consider this session! We have a great line up of speakers!

Come join the MU Limnology Lab as the new field manager! To apply for this position, please visit the MU web site at hrs.missouri.edu/find-a-job/s... and look for job opening ID 56749.

AEMON-J/DSOS Archive: "Hacking Limnology" Workshop + Virtual Summit in Data Science & Open Science in Aquatic Research This OSF project is meant to serve as a long-term storage repository for presentations and workshop materials for the Aquatic Ecosystem Modeling-Junior (AEMON-J) and Virtual Summit: Incorporating Data...

Yes. We just published the materials to our archive on @cos.io. The archive contains all materials from previous workshops and summits, and we try to upload more materials as soon as we can. osf.io/682v5/

And now onto the workshop with Carl Legleiter and Paul Kinzel on modeling river bathymetry with imagery collected from aircrafts! #HackingLimno #Limnology #Hydrology

Day 2 of #HackingLimno starts with Brandon Overstreet from #USGS talking about how he uses various sources of remote sensing to understand river habitat in Oregon.

What a great kick-off for #HackingLimno2025! Moving into the workshop focused on remote sensing of marine biodiversity with GBIF! Love seeing these ties between NOAA, GBIF, Google, and University of South Florida!

There's still plenty of time to register! 100% free and open to people of all experience levels!

🚨Happening next week!🚨Still time to register and join the week of workshops, presentations, panels, and networking!

Are you interested in how diatoms communicate with each other? Exciting post-doc position available in my lab to study the signalling mechanisms of cell-cell communication in diatoms. Deadline 14th July. @kehelliwell.bsky.social @thembauk.bsky.social www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DNO210/p...

I’m really excited at this opportunity to share my science at #AGU25. If you’re interested in nitrogen, aquatic ecology, and hard hitting interdisciplinary science, then this is not one to miss!

I am proud of this piece that my lab wrote about the collaboration we began last summer with the US Forest Service in CO-- an effort to understand why remote, high elevation lakes in the Wilderness are greening. We need publicly funded science now more than ever: doi.org/10.1002/lob....

IAGLR values a just, equitable, and inclusive culture that removes barriers to participation in our activities and embraces people from diverse identities, perspectives, and experiences. This Pride Month, we honor the LGBTQ+ large lake science community.

Hiring a data/lab manager in my research group! Mostly data “wrangling”, data viz, coding for analysis, lots of learning on the job, coordinating our global data projects with many collaborators, oversight of lab operations. 23 June deadline. Job # 78844 jobs.universityofcalifornia.edu

I was a little surprised to see something less studied than winter limnology! But there it is! Great to work with this team led by Faith Ferrato and the @sapnasharma.bsky.social team

Still plenty of time to register for Hacking Limno + #DSOS25! If you're interested in #datascience #openscience #limnology #ecology #hydrology #remotesensing, then this is definitely the event for you! Registration Information is in the thread below!

So happy to share the news that we’re hosting the FIFTH iteration of Hacking Limnology/DSOS this summer! It will be a fest!

@aslo.org @freshwaterscience.bsky.social @agu.org @agu-h3s.bsky.social @cuahsi.bsky.social

#DSOS25 will have 4 sessions focused on NASA #SWOT mission, novel approaches to understanding ecosystem function, Open source tools, and Model development!

We look forward to seeing you all there!

This year, Hacking Limno will have 3 workshops:
1. Mapping biodiversity indicators species w #opendata
2. River Velocimetry w images from aircrafts
3. Building Aquatic Ecosystem Models!

Many thanks to the workshop leaders from NOAA, USGS, USF, and LimnoTrack!

I'm very excited to share that Hacking Limno + DSOS are coming back for the FIFTH time 21-25 July! If you're interested in #machinelearning #remotesensing #modeling #limnology #oceanography, this is for YOU! Registration is FREE + open to ALL! #DSOS25 aquaticdatasciopensci.github.io/registration/

Example of how the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite's water surface elevation measurements can be used to record flow wave propagation over space and generate a “spatial hydrograph.”

Hydrologists! Ever heard of a Spatial Hydrograph? Our new paper in @agu.org GRL shows that the SWOT satellite can capture spatial flow waves propagating down rivers—something previously only only observable at river gauges: doi.org/10.1029/2024...

A schematic diagram showing an idealised pattern of phytoplankton community succession, with and without a storm disturbance. The storm temporarily reverses the typical seasonal phytoplankton succession pattern.

Really good to have contributed to this new study, which uses long-term lake data to detect the impacts of storm events on seasonal phytoplankton growth: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🧊🌊Glad to share a collaborative effort with some excellent colleagues: 100 questions to shape the future of #WinterLimnology. We highlight how in situ #Monitoring, #RemoteSensing, and #Modeling can be integrated to advance #LakeIce research.

So many questions still open - so much left to discover.

Very excited to have this manuscript out!! During an #NSF Workshop, we brainstormed 100 future questions facing lake ice study today, and how we integrate #remotesensing #modeling #insitu work to get at those questions!
