It's a joy to write when I get to center and cite my colleagues' work & explain why it's so important. I'm especially delighted that the citations in this piece are 1000 words longer than the text itself.

I proposed a project on water supply and wildfires after the 2017 Tubbs Fire - first time I’d seen wildfire directly impact urban water infrastructure. There was little information out there so I partnered with @gregspierce.bsky.social to hold a multidisciplinary + multi-sectoral expert workshop.
One of the main issues wee outlined in our fire/water report was about water availability during fires. Despite article focus on this being an LA problem, it’s a widespread problem. Many recommendations here for addressing (hint: during a fire is too late) innovation.luskin.ucla.edu/wp-content/u...

We know that water sharing is a major way that households cope with inadequate water globally. But can water sharing help advance household water security? We address this question in our new paper out today in Environmental Research Letters: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

In 2024, we're launching a state-wide AWII Arizona Water for All Network. Based at ASU, we work with AZ's water-insecure communities to improve water security using community-based participatory approaches.

Thanks to Dr. Lucero Radonic for leading the NAU AW4A Network launch last Friday!
