One of my tasks as an admin is to decide which hashtags get to trend on my instance. So far there hasn't been anything problematic but today I saw #ThickTrunkTuesday and being a trash baby from BirdSite I was thinking oh boy here we go. But I clicked on it and it was just a bunch of lovely pictures of trees with dummy thicc trunks. I love all you beautiful nerds. Never change.

#BigDataAtAGU22 has several Cluster members on collaborative teams presenting at all 3 parts of Frontiers in #WaterScience sessions during #AGU22. Here's info about a paper included in the 12/12 oral session. Add to your #AGU22 schedule. Some #CriticalZone research to start your day: https://bit.ly/CZNAGU22121202
Some of our recent published research in ponderosa pine saplings showed that its more likely that cambium and phloem damage that impacts NSC transport, rather than xylem hydraulic failure, is responsible for fire-induced tree mortality.

Let me try this here:
As editor of the Springer Nature journal Regional Environmental Change, I badly need additional editorial board members in the field of (eco-)hydrology. Our papers are in an interdisciplinary context and we particularly search new colleagues from the global South.
If you are interested, send me a DM or an e-mail please!
M 6.2 #earthquake 29 km SW of Las Brisas, #Mexico
#Baja California (part of Mexico), is moving NW at ~50 mm/year riding on the Pacific Plate.
This region is part of the Pacific / North American plate boundary where the plates are sliding past each other, causing right lateral strike-slip faulting.
The #CopernicusClimate Change Service (C3S) data catalogue is regularly updated 📈
The latest dataset released is the 'CERRA-Land', which describes the evolution of soil moisture, soil temperature and snowpack 🫧 over Europe since 1984

Catching urban runoff in raingardens and rainwater capture tanks improves the water quality of nearby streams and rivers and lowers water temperatures that have risen in the region due to climate change and the urban heat island effect, according to a new report in AGU's Water Resources Research spanning two decades in the greater Melbourne metropolitan area of Australia.

In terms of #drought in the western U.S., we're in a slightly better spot than we were a year ago. The big numbers:
- We went from 13.52% to 2.02% of the region in D4 (Exceptional Drought)
- We went from 29.03% to 16.55% of the region in D3 (Extreme Drought)
- We went from 29.96% to 26.96% of the region in D2 (Severe Drought)
This #water season, we need a big #snowpack to help refill reservoirs and build soil moisture.

A June 2022 field trip to the Sleepers River #Watershed Research site near #Burlington, #Vermont. The sensors seen in the image covered with the PVC pipes are monitoring soil are collecting #data that will be used in #CriticalZone Research by Cluster members. More about this field site: https://www.usgs.gov/centers/new-england-water-science-center/science/sleepers-river-research-watershed
Find any of us during #AGU22 and we can talk more about this beautiful and important research site.
If you want to see Mastodon at its best, strongly recommend these options:
Android - Use apps Tusky or Fedilab
iPhone/iPad - Use apps Metatext or Toot!
💻 Computers - Log in through your server's website
Mastodon was designed for websites and third party apps. These are *still* the best ways to use Mastodon!
(Official app exists because new people were only looking for an official app in app stores, and giving up when they didn't find one. You don't need to use it!)
@saragoeking What a collection of #CriticalZone research at #AGU22! This one rally grabbed my attention. https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm22/meetingapp.cgi/Paper/1126616
The water cycle got an update earlier this year! Below is the link to the new water cycle.
Important updates include accounting for the role of people on the water cycle. Which is a very important update.

📢 Join climate scientist Mika Tosca at the #AGU22 Art and Science Plenary. Learn about ways that artists and designers can collaborate with climate scientists to better communicate and conduct climate science research. More 👉https://fal.cn/3tJCw
Rivers meander over their course as they continuously erode and deposit sediment. Harold Fisk, a geologist and cartographer working for the US Army Corps of Engineers, mapped the meanders of the mighty Mississippi in 1944 and the results are mesmerizing. They also beautifully illustrate geology’s Law of Superposition: newer and younger sediments are deposited on top of older sediments. We see thousand of years of course changes. You can unravel the layers by eye by noting which layer cuts others
And, as I add people, a hughe thanks to @allochthonous for making the Earth Scientists on Mastodon list: https://all-geo.org/mastodon-earthsci/
If you're attending #AGU22, come to this session on how land use/land cover change affects #hydrology and climate!
I'll be there, Monday afternoon, 1:45-3:15 CST, Room E352. At 2:35 I'll be talking about links between #forest disturbance and streamflow in western US watersheds.
