“Digital twins are about answering questions“ Christa Peters-Lidard #ModflowAndMore24 igwmc Princeton Engineering

Reed Maxwell, one of the organizers of the MODFLOW and More conference at Princeton University this week, spoke on Monday on modeling #groundwater in China. The conference will continue today and tomorrow. Read more about it here: lnkd.in/gtf4dcth

Thanks so much for the kind words and the beautiful pictures of the Princeton University campus! I’m so glad you enjoyed #ModflowAndMore24 and appreciated the hard work from the @igwmc team (with support from CEE, Princeton Engineering and High Meadows Environmental Institute)

What a great #ModflowAndMore24! AI, quantum computing, digital twins, remote sensing, global groundwater, mixed in with many traditional topics for groundwater modeling. Completely packed rooms and tons of nerding out. Big Thanks to the incredible igwmc team. Princeton Engineering

Can a DL emulator model learn continental scale hydrology? Yes it can. New paper out from our Hydro-ML team shows how! Nice work led by @arbennett_ and Laura Condon with Hoang Tran Peter Melchior (@[email protected]) et al Princeton Engineering igwmc agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

Amazing talk by Laura Condon defining the need for global groundwater in ESMs! At the GEWEX meeting

Amazing week of learning at QUEST included deepening our understanding of hydrologic concepts, exploration of models, kinesthetic activities, urban hydrology walk, machine learning, and incredible science communication!! Thank you! Reed Maxwell igwmc Elena Leonarduzzi The Watershed Institute

This “digital twin” of the United States’ terrestrial water cycle, once developed, will be used to project future water availability. Reed Maxwell

Here’s the schedule for tomorrow sessions (12/9) at #AGU24— don’t miss the IGWMC researchers sharing their work tomorrow! Click through the thread to see who will be presenting! See you there! AGU (American Geophysical Union) #Geoscience #AGU2024 #EarthScience #ClimateAction #AGU Reed Maxwell

❄️ Snow isn’t just winter’s decoration—it’s a lifeline. 🌍💧 Discover how snowmelt drives our water systems and why it’s more important than ever. #Snowmelt #WaterCycle #ClimateChange #WinterScience

How long are flowpaths from recharge through groundwater to streams? How connected are watersheds over the CONUS? tldr; longer and more connected than we thought. in Nature Water with Chen Yang and Laura Condon igwmc High Meadows Environmental Institute Princeton Engineering nature.com/articles/s4422…

Our new OA paper unearths the mysteries of water’s journey from bedrock to stream over the CONUS Reed Maxwell High Meadows Environmental Institute nature.com/articles/s4422…

Groundwater travels farther and deeper than researchers thought! 🌍💧 This study led by Reed Maxwell reveals how deep and inter-basin groundwater flows sustain streams, with big implications for water resilience in a changing climate. @naturewaterjnl #Hydrology #ClimateResilience

A new simulation maps underground water on a continental scale, plotting the unseen path that each raindrop or melted snowflake takes before reemerging in freshwater streams. Reed Maxwell environment.princeton.edu/news/new-resea…

Honored for this work to be chosen as the hydrology paper of the day! Thanks for the recognition @KinarNicholas

🌍💧 Can machine learning predict groundwater globally? This study by Reed Maxwell shows that blending U.S. and Denmark data improves Denmark’s groundwater forecasts—advancing global monitoring. Institute of Physics #Groundwater #MachineLearning #Sustainability 🔗 iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

💧 Heavy groundwater pumping can worsen sea-level rise and saltwater intrusion. This study by Reed Maxwell uses machine learning to map groundwater changes in coastal New Jersey—guiding sustainable water management. Frontiers #Groundwater #ClimateResilience #Sustainability

💧 Hydrologic models often oversimplify water systems. This method brings in small-scale channel details to improve predictions w/o increased computational costs! #Hydrology frontiersin.org/journals/water… Reed Maxwell Frontiers
