Volcanic Eruptions in One Hemisphere Linked to Floods in the Opposite One - Eos Asymmetric volcanic plumes may shift equatorial weather patterns and increase tropical stream flow, according to new simulations.

Thank you, Kelly!

Princeton Engineering - Gabriele Villarini named vice dean of engineering Gabriele Villarini, a leader in the field of hydrology, has been appointed vice dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science effective Sept. 1.

Excited to be the next Vice Dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Princeton University! I look forward to working with Dean Andrew Houck, the Princeton Engineering community and the university more broadly over the coming years! 🧡🖤

A long‐term perspective of the hydroclimatological impacts of atmospheric rivers over the central United States A long-term AR climatology is developed over the central United States from six state-of-the-art atmospheric reanalysis products ARs account for 30% of the annual precipitation, 20–50% of the daily...

Thank you for sharing! As for the central US, we looked at this quite a bit with David Lavers and Munir Nayak. Here are a couple of references related to floods in this area that may be of interest.

I much enjoyed the book…really good read!

Congratulations, Ebrahim!

New Book Presents Essential Expertise on Hurricanes and Their Global Impacts

📖🌀 New book alert! Gabe Vecchi, Enrico Scoccimarro and I have edited the book "Tropical Cyclones and Associated Impacts: A Global Perspective"

It was great to work on it with my dear friends, and big thanks to the authors who made this project possible!

Thank you for putting these packs together! They are very helpful!

This is one of my favorite topics 😀 Thank you for bringing it up!

Absolutely! Among others, Katie Hirschboeck (tinyurl.com/yc8796jd) did a lot of great work on this! For a while, we seem to have focused more on fitting distributions rather than thinking about processes. Here is another study (tinyurl.com/3mamch4s) with many useful references.

On the attribution of annual maximum discharge across the conterminous United States Floods affect many aspects of our lives, and our improved understanding of the processes driving the historical changes in this natural hazard can pro…

We have developed a mixed-distribution approach for floods here (tinyurl.com/yc7yyhhh) and applied it to the projected changes in flood magnitude (tinyurl.com/3knapzz4) and duration (tinyurl.com/muxcch87) ...and there is more to come 😃

Thank you, Kelly! Mixed distributions can have large impacts on the results of the analyses. This kind of work gets us closer to process-driven analyses

Thank you!

Thank you, Kelly! It took me a while but I finally made the leap 🙂
