I really hope that Dr. Chris Jones wins his bid to be Secretary of Agriculture in Iowa. We will see if any other elected Democrats have the backbone to do what is necessary to clean up Iowa’s water quality issues.

Iowa's long-simmering water problem has finally begun to boil over. And in a state long dominated by Republicans, the motivating power of tainted water and rising cancer rates could give Dems an opening in the midterms. Read our report with @thefern.org👇 politi.co/4fccp0F

#AGU26 call for abstracts. If you are using advanced stratigraphic methods for groundwater projects please consider submitting an abstract to our session. H043 - Applying Advanced Stratigraphic Methods to Site Characterization for Remediation and Infrastructure Projects Deadline is August 5th!

‘Cancer Doesn't Care What Party You Belong To’: Poisoned Water Is Turning This Rural State Bluer

Democrats see an opening in rural states for the first time in decades. In Iowa, it’s about water.

Are you interested in strategies for collecting more accurate and useful geologic logs for your groundwater projects? Are you teaching core logging for environmental scientists and looking for instructional materials to support your effort?

Freestanding water vending machines or water-dispensing kiosks are often marketed as providing cleaner water than tap water. A study published in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology took a closer look at what’s in that water. 💧 [1/2]

@hydrochrista.bsky.social @domciruzzi.bsky.social, and I asked hydrologists across the country for their syllabi so we could investigate how instructors were teaching hydrology courses and think about the future... Here’s what we found + suggestions agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

It’s official: I’m joining the School of Earth, Environment, and Sustainability at the University of Iowa as an assistant prof starting Fall 2026! I’ll be recruiting multiple grad students and postdocs to join my lab, so if you’re into disturbance ecology and conservation science… watch this space!

Modern water treatment may be the most important life-saving invention of the human race. If these people forgo this, that's on them (but also their vulnerable children), but know what the outcomes can be: bacteria, parasites, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and other horrible, preventable illnesses.

Whelp, I think the stress might be getting to me . . . Time for a new less deformed white board eraser 😂

I’m recruiting for graduate students in the areas of 1) high-frequency water quality patterns and ML and 2) interactions of non-perennial streams/wetlands on forest hydrology and biogeochemistry. I’ll be at #AGU2024 next week! More info at: sites.psu.edu/jmduncan/opp...

Obligatory introduction post! 👋 I'm a volcano scientist studying magma here on Earth and on other planets at NASA JSC. I'm passionate about using my skills to make the world a better place. Love Star Trek, cats, gardening, tinkering, making films, learning new things, meeting new people, and candy.

Job alert! Tenure track faculty position in Environmental Geophysics at the University of Iowa. Applications due September 15th. See the link for details. jobs.uiowa.edu/faculty/view...

Recruiting for a PhD student to come work with us on developing new techniques for identifying hydrostratigraphic units in complex glaciogenic sediments. Note, candidate must have a valid US drivers license and at least 1 year of driving history.

Finally got to try out our new ice fishing hut. Worked like a charm for doing pneumatic hydraulic tests in Westbay wells with our unpredictable ‘spring’ weather.

It’s a coring day!!!!
