TO THE RESEARCHERS, EDUCATORS, AND ACADEMICS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, YOUR WORK IS NEEDED NOW MORE THAN EVER. American science and innovation have advanced humanity for generations. The pursuit of science has led to humanity’s greatest advances, improving people’s lives and the health of our planet. But today, science is under threat. The Pew Research Center found the share of Americans who say science has had a mostly positive effect on society has fallen and there’s been a continued decline in public trust in scientists. In this unpredictable time, we must remind ourselves of what remains the same. We need scientific research to support the health and safety of people and our planet. We need policy decisions that are grounded in research and data. We need researchers and educators who will seek scientific truths and prepare the next generation to carry on this critical work. Science is at the core of our missions and we remain firmly committed to supporting, elevating, and fighting for science and those who further it. This is our commitment to you. We will champion scientific integrity, including academic freedom, the inclusion of diverse perspectives, and policies grounded in scientific evidence. • We will fight to ensure that research funding is stable and predictable, allowing scientists to pursue ambitious research and make meaningful discoveries. • We will work to ensure experts like you have the resources they need to pursue research with autonomy and integrity, including critical datasets. • We will continue to impress on others the importance of science as an objective, unbiased approach to understanding our world. Scientific truths are nonpartisan. It has never been more important to recommit to scientific knowledge, and to ensure you have access to data, are free from censorship, and are able to do your valuable work. We are committed to working every day to ensure that the researchers who have devoted their lives to discovery and truth can safely continue working to improve lives and benefit society.

It was fun to be at #AGU24 again. This time to present new research on the economic impacts of climate change on California’s agriculture.

Really happy to be this week in Granada and Barcelona to share my experiences on water management in California. Thanks very much to the Institut Agrícola Sant Esteve and the University of Granada for organizing and inviting me. If you are around, don't hesitate in coming by!

On Wednesday I'll be at UC Riverside to talk about water partnerships between cities and farms. These partnerships can help increasing water resilience in California and the Colorado Basin by promoting infrastructure investments and more flexible demand management

Hello bluesky friends! Just starting over here, and hoping to build a community of #water researchers and practitioners!
My group works on integrating the human dimension in water systems, linking economic and engineering approaches.
