Our launch date is set! 🌎 NASA's Surface Water Ocean Topography mission, or SWOT, will provide the first global survey of Earth's surface water. It's scheduled for launch on December 5, 2022. go.nasa.gov/3CxuSle #TrackingWorldWater

I'm recruiting two funded grad students for Fall 2023 to: 🌊 Explore and analyze #SWOT_satellite data; 🌊 Study the sources of #plastic in rivers. Join the us in beautiful Blacksburg, VA—we've got rivers *and* drainage divides. Details: docs.google.com/document/d/1qr…

Watch the seismogram register TWICE while you listen to Chris Blair 🐅🎙’s calls of the LSU Football game vs. Alabama. Learn more about the seismogram with LSU Geology professors: lsu.edu/mediacenter/ne…

Newest comprehensive evaluation of discharge inversions based on river width is just out! Work led by Peirong Lin. Manuscript freely available in the following link for the next 40 days! authors.elsevier.com/c/1gXl37qzS-PP…

I have one postdoc position opening (apply.interfolio.com/121074) and opportunities for graduate students in my lab. General research topics include studying of lakes and rivers and change against climate and direct human impact. More information please see sites.google.com/view/rsofhl/op….

Big new paper explains how the #SWOT_satellite mission will estimate discharge in rivers. I think all of the lead authors are doing fieldwork in beautiful, remote locations for SWOT's Calibration/Validation Campaign. doi.org/10.1029/2021WR…

Inaugural post by Molly Stroud on the Global Rivers Group new research blog. More to come! globalriversgroup.com/post/murky

Happy to share that our paper on estimating lake and reservoir inflow and outflow discharge from the #SWOT_satellite is now available! I'm excited to apply the algorithm on live SWOT data. doi.org/10.1029/2023GL…

Please help spread the word. Two funded PhD opportunities in Fluvial Geomorphology at LSU. If interested, email me at [email protected]

Out in Geophysical Research Letters today, we developed a new tool for assessing reservoir sedimentation and capacity losses using high-resolution satellite imagery and water level data. Thanks CIRES CU Boulder Libraries @ResilienceUVA for the support. doi.org/10.1029/2023GL…

I am recruiting Masters and PhD students to the Texas A&M University Surface Processes Group for Fall 2024! Available projects on Earth and Mars rivers and deltas, and material transport. Apply by Jan 1 TAMU Geography, reach out with questions. Please share widely✌️

Congratulations to Ryan Riggs and Simon Moulds on the publication of the #RivRetrieve #RStats package which allows users to download daily measurements of river stage (m) and discharge (cms) from a variety of national-level river agencies cran.r-project.org/web/packages/R…

Interested in doing a fully-funded PhD on #AI for the Environment University of Oxford? Sign up for our virtual open day on 30 November 2023! SoGE, University of Oxford Intelligent Earth Philip Stier please share widely with any interested applicants!

Incredibly excited to share what we've been working on! Check out our new review paper connecting water quantity and water quality in satellite remote sensing. 💧 🛰 George Allen Ryan Riggs Huilin Gao Cayelan Carey doi.org/10.1002/wat2.1…

I'm very excited to announce that in the last 10 days, I've graduated with my PhD from TAMU Geography and started 2 full-time positions. One as a Dad and the other as a Mendenhall Fellow and Research Hydrologist with the USGS.

We are pleased to share our new preprint describing #GRIT, led by Michel Wortmann on behalf of the NERC_EvoFLOOD @NERCScience project! "Global River Topology (GRIT): A bifurcating river hydrography" Preprint: doi.org/10.22541/essoa… Hydrography: zenodo.org/records/112193…
