A new model formulation for fast, high-res (<3m), physics-based flood simulation over large areas (> 1,000 km2) with groundwater interactions and hydraulic structures. More work to come informing adaptation in both Miami and Los Angeles. w/ @katharinemach.bsky.social

Mud and debris hazards in Southern California are generated when loose material in mountain canyons, released from hill slopes with the burning of vegetation, is mobilized by streamflow. An illustration w/ Eaton Canyon above Altadena. Note the critical role of debris basins - protecting communities.

OK. This is really bizarre. Is this how all businesses are going to engage Trump?

Tiktok is off, but Trump will come to the rescue. Good grief.

Early start to Day 1 at AGU. Hope to see you in our floods sessions today.

I'm pleased to share a commentary paper co-authored by Oliver Wing and Paul Bates, and published today by Earth's Future, calling for an end to bathtub modeling in flood risk studies. Ready why here:

Thankful to see an unarmored river in coastal California. Happy Thanksgiving from Paso Robles! @adaptationhive.bsky.social
