Intriguing trends in grey vs green stormwater infra strategies in the new ASCE infra report card. "Although green infrastructure is critical in addressing localized drainage and water quality, these systems cannot provide sufficient capacity to manage large-scale stormwater events."

Happy vernal equinox! Every year I am amazed again at nature's rebirth, the ability of plants to push through the depths of soil to grow again 🌱

#AGU24 take advantage of the metro system while you're in DC!
My fun metro story is that back when I was working as a tech at USGS in NoVA after undergrad, I met my future spouse at a metro station on my usual commute. He says 'Ride public transit- you never know who you might meet' 😃

Here at #AGU24 via EV🚗 and then metro 🚉. One talk from our group done today on solar farm hydrology, and one poster to come Wed afternoon on salty stormwater treatment.

Just a sliver of driveway/yard slope + less than an inch of snow + all the kids on the street = pure joy 😊 ❄️

Every field project has an end, and today is sensor uninstall day at a local solar farm. I had some curious onlookers....

Great way to celebrate water new year by visiting a local stormwater basin on this rainy day with my ecological engineering class 😀
