Rivers are heating up faster than the air − that’s a problem for aquatic life and people
River heat waves are rising faster than the pace of air heat waves. That’s a problem for fish, drinking water quality, and food and energy production.

The US Army Corps of Engineers is doing a test run of an underwater dredging method right now in Kansas. This method hasn't been used on a lake before, so it's unclear whether it will work: www.kcur.org/news/2025-09...
Mud swallowed half of this Kansas lake. Engineers think they can fight back
In dry years, Tuttle Creek Lake and other reservoirs keep the Kansas River flowing strong enough to provide drinking water for hundreds of thousands of people. But these manmade lakes are disappearing...

The worst part about having a paper rejected is not the rejection itself, it's knowing that you'll have to reformat the manuscript for some new online portal submission system.

Can we have a moratorium on using any variant of the word "Advance" at the start of an AGU session title? Nearly 1 in 4 Hydrology sessions begin this way. Alphabetical sorting means these sessions appear at the top - maybe the motivation? An ironic result is that they become harder to differentiate.

Trump is closing all four climate observatory stations in Alaska, Hawaii, American Samoa, and Antartica. Because you can't have high CO2 levels if you don't *measure* CO2 levels.
