Photos from some rainy field work with Derek Gibson and @potamologist.bsky.social on the Missouri River floodplain! Excited to see where this collaboration leads us!

What an amazing effort!
📢 The Great Eurasian Drought Atlas (GEDA) is now available as a web app on the Tree-Ring Drought Atlas Portal! This is a 0.5° x 0.5° grid of Jun-Aug Palmer Drought Severity Index reconstructions from AD 0-2020 and covers the entire Eurasian region and a large portion of sub-Saharan Africa. 1/3 🧪

Federal funding helps society. We measure ancient molecules in rocks that tell us about rainfall over geologic time. Our work helped identify a mechanism by which ocean temperatures on the California margin drive extreme summer rainfall in the southwest new.nsf.gov/news/using-m... (1/2)

SciShow is a wonderful podcast that you should definitely listen to and maybe support! Ordered my postcard today :)
You won't believe this. My team and I make this show called SciShow that works hard to be rigorous and accurate while also being appealing and entertaining.
We reach a LOT of people every year with episodes about crabs and neutrinos and gender and cancer and vaccines.
It's great, I love it.

Every semester, I am reminded through classroom activities how much I love delineating watersheds by hand. It's like a little maze puzzle for geomorphologists. One of these days I'll make a full puzzle book of contour map activities! #geomorphology #maps

I very strongly encourage folks to check out this long-form conversation I had with @AdamConover.net on his Factually! podcast (recorded just two days ago) focusing on offering context and busting myths surrounding the devastating Los Angeles #wildfires.

Climate Scientist Debunks L.A. Wildfire Myths with Dr. Daniel Swain
Southern California has been utterly decimated by wildfires, with the neighborhoods of Pacific Palisades and Altadena being virtually leveled to the ground. In this special episode, released outside of our usual schedule, Adam sits down with UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain to unpack what really

Extreme hydro-climatic whiplash in SoCalifornia provided fuel for disastrous wildfires this winter…& only going to get worse.
Includes new version of CONUS water-yr precip Coefficient of Variation map, illustrating bulls eye of max precip variability over soCal.
