As part of this new chapter, I’m seeking a fully funded master’s student (Fall 2025/Spring 2026) to join my lab!

Topics are flexible, but in the areas of
💧 Water quality modeling
❄️ River ice modeling and data assimilation

More information on the lab website below.

There are about 27,000 scientists at #AGU24, and about half of them work on climate one way or another. Whenever I walk into a room like this, I always take a moment to take it all in—all these people dedicated their lives to working on some of our toughest problems. That gives me strength.

💧 Curious about the water quality in your area? Thanks to science 🧪 and the EPA, you can explore your local watershed with this handy tool: mywaterway.epa.gov

Unfortunately, Boulder has multiple impaired creeks from metals and 🦠—but tools like this are a great step toward awareness and action.

Took a social media break and returned to so many new folks. Welcome!

"Is my water safe" This is the #1 question I get asked. While my research focuses on water before it is treated, here is an excellent resource to check on your local drinking water quality enviro.epa.gov/envirofacts/...

This is a tremendous success!

A message showing that I am the 2314861 user of the 10 million users currently on Bluesky.

Back in the day, I got an invite to Bluesky. It is pretty cool this place has grown to over 10 million users since then, and is now becoming the place for science communication. Very exciting to see!

Congratulations!

Thank you! They are all good things, so it has been fun.

Summer has been a whirlwind. I wrapped up the community engagement on my project, successfully defended my dissertation, and moved across the country. I will begin a post-doc with the U.S. EPA Landscape and Aquatic Ecosystems Modeling Branch on Monday! Stay tuned for info on national water quality.

"H3S Recharge Day: Investing in Hydrology's Future! April 22, 2024. 'H3S has built a fantastic community for the future leaders of the AGU Hydrology Section. I am impressed with the quality of events they put together for career development and networking. I only wish they had existed when I was in graduate school! I would certainly encourage any early-career hydrologist to get involved with them' -Kamini Singha Colorado School of Mines. Give here! with arrow pointing at QR code.

Announcing our first ever giving day! H3S Recharge Day: Investing in Hydrology’s Future on April 22nd!
We are hosting a giving day to support our programming. We have the goal of raising $20,000 for the year. You can donate here: www.agu-h3s.org/contribute

A graph snowing the current snowpack in snow water equivalent over the water year compared to the 30-year low, median, and maximum values. Since March 1st, there are three notable increases in the current year snowpack elevated it above the 30-year median snowpack.

Thanks to the recent #snow, #Colorado #snowpack is back above the 30-year median! You can check it out for yourself at www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/ftpref/suppo...

H3S is an awesome group. It is definitely worth an hour of your time to see what they are all about. During my time with H3S, I met so many friends and colleagues that I still interact with frequently.

Haha love the unexpected Firefly reference. Also, the elevation sandbox is so much fun to play with!

New Department of Interior opinion promises to recognize expanded tribal jurisdiction in Alaska • Alaska Beacon Tribes can exert jurisdiction over allotments granted to individual Natives, the department's head attorney said on Feb. 1.

Alaska has almost half of the Native tribes in the United States, but their ability to exercise jurisdiction has been limited since the 1970s by federal law. Now, a new legal analysis by the Department of the Interior offers a way for them to spread tribal law over a swath of Alaska. #akleg #Alaska

Two panels showing the mean and maximum river temperatures of Alaskan rivers

Hello! I talk about hydrology, co-produced and actionable science, the graduate school process, and much more. I am currently at CU where I research how climate change is impacting the discharge, temperature, and ice of Alaskan Rivers and the communities who depend on them. Here's a quick preview
