last chance to get in on the votes for Round 1!! check out these eight human-impacted catchments!
my loyalty will always lay with the Chesapeake Bay — I fell in love with hydrologic science there, and really appreciate all the beaches, tidal marshes, sunsets, and critters the Bay has to offer

more river cup!! vote for your favs and stick around for some fun facts!
in my humble opinion, Hubbard Brook is the clear winner here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

another day another group of catchments to vote for! head to the H3S website to vote for your favorite rain-dominated catchments!
I am preferential to Panola, because I think our southeastern, slightly less steep watersheds deserve some love!
pls enjoy this nearby Piedmont watershed (Talladega NF)

I defended my dissertation, and got to share all the exciting things we’ve learned about small southeastern streams!
I also started as a postdoc at Oregon State! i’m stoked to work with @wardhydro.bsky.social on the role headwaters play in downstream WQ!

RIVER CUP IS BACK AND GOT A REBRAND THIS YEAR!! vote for your favorite research catchments and maybe learn some new fun facts along the way!! I’m team #headwaters for sure!
CATCHMENT CUP IS LIVE! Whose ready to learn about some new (and old) research catchments?!? First up: HEADWATER CATCHMENTS
VOTE HERE until 10/4: www.agu-h3s.org/rivercup

super excited to share that my first dissertation chapter is out in WRR!
here, we operationalize the river corridor of a headwater Coastal Plain network into hydrogeomorphic features to characterize hydrologic connectivity across dimensions
check it out here: doi.org/10.1029/2024...

Using Hydrogeomorphic Features to Quantify Structural and Functional Hydrologic Connectivity in a Coastal Plain Headwater Stream
Hydrogeomorphic features provide a key framework to study streamflow generation along the river corridor
Across the study watershed, hydrogeomorphic features demonstrated distinct patterns of gro...

.@thatsmedelp.bsky.social & others show stream networks in the Mobile Bay watershed are much more complex than shown in USGS maps. 🧪

Mobile Bay Has More Branching Brooks Than Shown on Federal Maps - Eos
A more accurate charting of the full extent of stream networks will help land managers better protect U.S. creeks and rivers.

... AND got to present a poster on our new project understanding the drivers of channel initiation across the larger Southeast! thank you to Mark DeGraff for the opportunity to share this work with the larger community, and excited to see where it goes from here!
Where do streams and rivers start? The answer has been a point of uncertainty for regulators, managers, and researchers for decades!
