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.

It is always mind boggling at how massive @agu.org is every year. This is just one session of the poster room, which changes over twice daily for the duration of the conference. #AGU24

💧 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.

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!

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

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.

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

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.

Come check out my poster this week at the AGU Chapman conference if you are interested in how to use remote sensing backscatter to determine river ice thickness a phenology at regional scales.

If you are new to AGU fall meeting and it is feeling a bit daunting, the AGU Hydrology Section JEDI committee is hosting a learning/networking session on navigating the meeting. All disciplines are welcome. Also, there will be free food!!

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
