Just about done with my 1st week as a Visiting Scholar at the @wmo-global.bsky.social where I will spend the summer! It has been a whirlwind of new faces and exciting projects to learn about, and I’m looking forward to contributing to the agency’s efforts on remote sensing of water and ecohydrology!

Wonderful to listen to Dennis @biometlab.bsky.social recount a career of curiosity-driven research yesterday during the ESPM seminar, what an inspiration to us all!

All hands on deck for the final biomass collection of Becca’s senior thesis looking at the physiological impact of increased salinity on native and invasive species from the Sacramento-San Joaquin delta! A beautiful day to count and cut shoots! 🌱

Incredible study sheet made by one of my students, connecting all the aspects of surface hydrology we have covered so far in my graduate hydrology course! 🤯

Why do Joshua Trees grow at angles that seem so unnatural for trees? 🤔 I feel like @kheyduk.bsky.social is the only person I know who could answer that question?

Ended last week with our first Water & Carbon group social event! It was a truly heartwarming week of science and community 🥰 but I’m also grateful for the peace of quiet of this week to let my brain recuperate! 🤯

3 presentations from our group at #AGU23 today to end the week with a bang! 💥Paul Seibert presenting on SIF imaging at Point Reyes, Ann Scheliga on reservoirs’ impact on GRACE and Tianjiao Pu on the synergies between wetland filling and fires in the Pantanal. So much science! 🥳

#AGU23 Pro-tip: if you have time, walk to the Ferry Building for lunch: lots of yummy options, beautiful setting, and just far away enough from the Moscone Center that crowds aren’t crazy!
