Are water levels in wetlands important to you? @kica22.bsky.social's new paper in GRL shows that the SWOT satellite can measure water surface elevations in the Everglades with a mean absolute error of 6.7 cm. Check it out! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Do you work on lakes globally? Check out what is, to my mind, the most complete global database of lakes (~6M) and associated attributes, newly published in WRR. Also the basis for SWOT lake data. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Going to the #AGU24 Fall Meeting? Interested in new results from the SWOT satellite over oceans, rivers, lakes, and wetlands? We have you covered! here's a cheat sheet for SWOT-specific sessions, plus other presentations. Thanks to UNC grad student Marissa Hughes for putting this together. 🧪

When you get the first major piece of writing from a relatively new graduate student, you brace yourself for anything, and then. . . it's great! <just imagine the gif>
