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.

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.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! 🥳

Satellites reveal tropical wetland flooding did not cause methane surge Human activity or other wetland factors like temperature or soil chemistry could be at play.

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.

A checklist for designing and improving the visualization of scientific data Nature Cell Biology - Creating clear and engaging scientific figures is crucial to communicate complex data. In this Comment, I condense principles from design, visual perception and data...

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!

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!

...that neither inundation 🌊 nor precipitation 🌧️ in the Tropics can explain the recent methane surge, suggesting that either ‼️ other controls of methane are responsible for the surge, or that non-hydrological controls matter more for tropical wetlands than presently understood ‼️

Limited evidence that tropical inundation and precipitation powered the 2020–2022 methane surge - Communications Earth & Environment The strong increase in global methane from 2020-2022 was not powered by precipitation and inundation increasing wetland emissions in tropical regions, according to analysis of satellite observations o...

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...

Berkeley Engineering celebrates class of 2025 - Berkeley Engineering Newest grads seek to build technologies that benefit humanity, touch lives

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

Paul will be working with Margaret Torn at @eesaberkeleylab.bsky.social to study the impacts of leaf wetting on water availability, physiology, and productivity. Congrats Paul! 🎉

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! 🤯

How do we keep Standing Up for Science? A heartfelt thank you for everyone that Stood Up for Science with us on March 7th—whether it be volunteering, donating, sharing, or attending in event, we're forever indebted to people like you who ca...

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?

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!

Very exciting!! Congrats on the new position!! 🎉🥳
