We recently released the beta version of URaster on GitHub and PyPI:
github.com/changliao102...
and pypi.org/project/uras...
This package enables us to set up unstructured mesh-based hydrologic and land surface models.

Visualization powered by #GeoVista #PyVista

Working with a data file like this (in Excel) is why data cleaning is often underappreciated.

Data science might be one of the most overrated science because literally no science can get away without data.

10 quick tips for making your software outlive your job!

The preprint for our paper is now up at arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2505.06484

Hopefully it'll help people who are forced to leave. Still good advice for researchers, in general.

This seems to be a good approach to track manuscript review status. JOSS also has a GitHub based review process.

This semester I gave a couple of lectures to the graduate students in University of Houston on water science. I was astonished to find out that several students are very interested in #DGGS #DGGRID for hydrologic research. The Q&A session was filled with in-depth discussions.

It literally took us five years to acknowledge that we need a better mesh for #landsurfacemodel. Regional refinement mesh for #LSM can be both efficient and effective for many scientific discoveries and applications. #ESS #PIMeeting #DOE

So, if this bill passes, PNNL will terminate me as a non-LPR. It's time to update my CV and find a new job.
