Interdisciplinary hydrologist and assistant professor at the University of South Carolina where my research focuses on combining local knowledge, community based observations, remote sensing, and modeling. Views are my own
🚨 Exciting News! 🚨
I’m happy to share that I’ve accepted an offer to join the University of South Carolina as an Assistant Professor! I am looking forward to building my lab, where we’ll explore hydrologic impacts on communities around the world. 🚀

There are about 27,000 scientists at #AGU24, and about half of them work on climate one way or another. Whenever I walk into a room like this, I always take a moment to take it all in—all these people dedicated their lives to working on some of our toughest problems. That gives me strength.
It is always mind boggling at how massive @agu.org is every year. This is just one session of the poster room, which changes over twice daily for the duration of the conference. #AGU24

💧 Curious about the water quality in your area? Thanks to science 🧪 and the EPA, you can explore your local watershed with this handy tool: mywaterway.epa.gov

Unfortunately, Boulder has multiple impaired creeks from metals and 🦠—but tools like this are a great step toward awareness and action.

Took a social media break and returned to so many new folks. Welcome!

"Is my water safe" This is the #1 question I get asked. While my research focuses on water before it is treated, here is an excellent resource to check on your local drinking water quality enviro.epa.gov/envirofacts/...

This is a tremendous success!
In wonderful salmon news, Chinook have returned for the first time in 60 years to the upper reach of the Klamath River, only 2 weeks after the completion of the biggest dam-removal project in US history

"Salmon remember...the fish are bright, strong & beautiful."

People — and salmon — return to restored Klamath to celebrate removal of 4 dams
After years of protests, court battles and even picketing, Klamath tribes are able to return to a restored river.

Back in the day, I got an invite to Bluesky. It is pretty cool this place has grown to over 10 million users since then, and is now becoming the place for science communication. Very exciting to see!

Summer has been a whirlwind. I wrapped up the community engagement on my project, successfully defended my dissertation, and moved across the country. I will begin a post-doc with the U.S. EPA Landscape and Aquatic Ecosystems Modeling Branch on Monday! Stay tuned for info on national water quality.

H3S is an awesome group. It is definitely worth an hour of your time to see what they are all about. During my time with H3S, I met so many friends and colleagues that I still interact with frequently.
Interested in seeing what H3S is all about and what we’re up to this year? Come to our Open House! Tuesday April 16th at 1pm MDT we’ll be hosting an open house where you can come meet members, learn about past and future programming, and we can discuss potential collaborations!

Alaska has almost half of the Native tribes in the United States, but their ability to exercise jurisdiction has been limited since the 1970s by federal law. Now, a new legal analysis by the Department of the Interior offers a way for them to spread tribal law over a swath of Alaska. #akleg #Alaska
New Department of Interior opinion promises to recognize expanded tribal jurisdiction in Alaska • Alaska Beacon
Tribes can exert jurisdiction over allotments granted to individual Natives, the department's head attorney said on Feb. 1.

Hello! I talk about hydrology, co-produced and actionable science, the graduate school process, and much more. I am currently at CU where I research how climate change is impacting the discharge, temperature, and ice of Alaskan Rivers and the communities who depend on them. Here's a quick preview
