We are “likely to succeed on the merits” said the district judge in the order on Friday to temporarily halt the Administration’s mass firings across federal agencies.

The government has until tomorrow to produce their comprehensive “large-scale” plans to the court.

Geomorphology session overview, 28 April - 02 May, 2025. Below are tables for each day showing the GM sessions, times, and rooms for EGU25.

For geomorphologists going to EGU, here is your one-page overview of all of the GM sessions and activities next week! Looking forward to a week of free and open science, EDI discussions and activities, and plenty of talk about climate change...

🌍 The Earth and space science community thrives on connections! These connections form in the lab, in the field, and through public action, pushing the boundaries of what we know and what’s possible.

👉 We invite you to propose a session and be part of the conversation at AGU25: buff.ly/IvSyjLF

A Continuing Resolution Is a Blow to U.S. Science — and the Public The American public deserves better. Science drives progress, but it can’t do that with stopgap funding and political gridlock. It’s..

Science needs stability, not stopgaps.

A continuing resolution further weakens U.S. research, innovation, and public safety. AGU is taking action to defend science funding and protect federal scientists.

Beyond the lab, she's an avid DIY enthusiast and reader, finding joy in home projects and quality time with loved ones (including her adorable fur babies!) 🏠❤️ #AGUEPSP #EPSPtakeover

Her next chapter? Chelsy aims to join USGS full-time, combining her passion for river science with her commitment to mentoring future generations of scientists 🌊

Through the USGS Pathways Internship Program, she's already making an impact in hydrology - working on sediment concentration estimates and invasive carp forecasting models 🔬

As a first-generation college student, she knows the power of good mentorship. That's why she helped create a free summer science camp at UIUC, complete with hands-on activities and even a NASA scientist Q&A! 🎓

Slide titled 'MENTORSHIP AND OUTREACH' showing Chelsy's commitment to education. Features three components: research poster presentations from undergraduate research and NSF REU CZNet Science programs, and a promotional flyer for a free Earth, Society & Environment Summer Camp for Girls at UIUC. Text emphasizes her passion for mentoring as a first-generation college student and describes organizing a free camp with NASA scientist involvement.

Slide titled 'CAREER GOALS' showing Chelsy in front of a bright window on her first day as a USGS Student Trainee in Hydrology under the Pathways Internship Program. Text describes her work including evaluating invasive carp forecasting models and estimating sediment concentrations using ADCPs

Slide titled 'OUTSIDE OF SCIENCE...' showing Chelsy's personal life. Features two photos: one of Chelsy and her partner at a California sunset, and another of her two cats - one black and one grey - lounging together on a colorful blanket. Text describes enjoying time with partner, pets, friends, and family when not working.

From mentoring to research to life outside science - let's get to know the full picture of Chelsy's journey as an early career scientist! 🌟 #AGUEPSP #EPSPtakeover #ScienceMentoring

By combining different monitoring techniques at various scales, Chelsy's work bridges crucial gaps in our understanding of how sediment moves through river systems 📊 #AGUEPSP #EPSPtakeover

This research is vital because sediment pollution impacts everything from water quality to fish populations. Understanding these dynamics helps us better manage our agricultural landscapes and protect our rivers 🌿

Her field setup is impressive! Automated pump samplers collect water samples, while sediment traps, tilt current meters, and stage recorders help measure how sediment moves between river channels and floodplains 🔬

In intensively managed landscapes (IMLs), she tracks how agricultural activities influence sediment movement. Her study site? The Upper Sangamon River Basin, where she monitors both upstream and downstream locations 🗺️

Research slide titled 'MY RESEARCH' showing two key visuals: A diagram of Intensively Managed Landscapes (IMLs) from Kumar et al., 2018 illustrating land use, climate change, and ecological impacts, and a map of the Upper Sangamon River Basin in Central Illinois showing upstream and downstream gaging stations. Text explains research on sediment dynamics in IMLs and between different stream locations.

Slide titled 'Watershed Scale' featuring photos of water sampling equipment. Main image shows an automated pump sampler mounted on a bridge with a pump intake extending into the river. Inset shows the sampler device itself, and below is a row of numbered water sample bottles containing sediment samples of varying turbidity

Slide titled 'Reach Scale' showing a winter/early spring floodplain photo with labeled equipment: sediment trap, tilt current meter, stage recorder, and floodplain siphon sampler. Text describes research exploring sediment dynamics across different geomorphic environments in the floodplain during flood events.

Exploring rivers at every scale! Chelsy's research in Central Illinois examines how sediment moves through our waterways, from entire watersheds down to specific river reaches 🌊 #AGUEPSP #EPSPtakeover #RiverScience

Find out more about Chelsy and her research on our website! https://buff.ly/4ibjPjh

Today, she combines field work, laboratory methods, and innovative monitoring techniques to understand how river corridors evolve over time. Her research helps us better manage and protect our vital water resources 💧 #AGUEPSP #EPSPtakeover

What sparked her passion? A simple intro geology course during her business degree opened her eyes to the possibilities of working outdoors and studying Earth systems. That unexpected turn led her to discover her true calling in river science! 🌎

Currently, Chelsy works as a USGS Student Trainee in Hydrology at the Central Midwest Water Science Center, where she contributes to invasive carp and Great Lakes research while pursuing her PhD 🔬

Her research focuses on two key areas:

How sediment dynamics vary between upstream and downstream locations
Understanding channel-floodplain connectivity during flood events

This work is crucial for water quality and ecosystem health 🌊

Early Career Spotlight featuring Chelsy Salas (she/her), a PhD candidate at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The image shows her smiling, wearing glasses and a pink baseball cap, against a natural background. A quote reads 'I aim to better understand how river corridors change over time due to natural and artificial disturbances.' The image has a blue and orange design theme with the AGU EPSP logo.

Research summary slide showing two field photos: one of monitoring equipment mounted on a bridge over a river, and another of a wooded floodplain area with measurement equipment. Text describes research examining suspended sediment dynamics and channel-floodplain connectivity across different spatial and temporal scales.

Biography slide showing Chelsy sitting by a river with trees in the background. The slide lists her current position as PhD Candidate & USGS Student Trainee in Hydrology, education background including degrees from University of Nevada, Las Vegas (BS) and CA State University, Los Angeles (MS), and career goals with USGS.

Final slide showing Chelsy in a yellow kayak on a river, wearing an orange life vest and making a peace sign. Above the photo is a quote explaining her inspiration: 'My B.S. is in geology. I really loved the idea of working outdoors and learning about our planet in a way I had never before.

Meet Chelsy Salas: A first-generation college student whose intro geology course changed everything! Now a PhD candidate studying river systems and sediment dynamics, proving that sometimes the unexpected path leads to the perfect destination. #AGUEPSP #EPSPtakeover #EarlyCareerScientist
