I'm looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join my group at Carnegie Science, now based at Caltech in Pasadena. If you're interested in land-atmosphere interactions and how they're influenced on small scales by microclimates, please take a look at the ad! apply.interfolio.com/190703

A data center drained 30M gallons of water unnoticed — until residents complained about low water pressure

Residents in Fayetteville, Georgia, noticed low water pressure last year. The utility discovered two unaccounted-for water connections at one of the nation’s largest data center campuses.

Unified MPAS mesh framework for Land, River, and Ocean

Next generation Earth system models such as #E3SM should be able to represent large #river #Delta. #AGU25

In this year's #AGU, I will present the first global-scale unified #MPAS mesh framework for kilometer-scale two-way coupled land-river-ocean simulations. #RRM #km-esm #E3SM

We recently released the beta version of URaster on GitHub and PyPI: github.com/changliao102... and pypi.org/project/uras... This package enables us to set up unstructured mesh-based hydrologic and land surface models. Visualization powered by #GeoVista #PyVista

E3SM all hands meeting takeaways: Models are moving towards km-scale, even with AI/ML.

Working with a data file like this (in Excel) is why data cleaning is often underappreciated.

Data science might be one of the most overrated science because literally no science can get away without data.
