Being a Hydrology Coach: Some Ideas for Teaching College Hydrology Classes

Teaching the next generation of scientists, engineers, and planners hydrology may sometimes feel like a chore, but it might be the most impactful thing we do! So, I think it is always worth taking a look to see if we can optimize our approaches. What follows are some ideas that have shaped my teaching strategies over the last decade. I don’t pretend to be an authority on this stuff, but I’ve curat ...[Read More]

Union of Justice report: Why racial justice should be at the core of Europe’s climate action

I have had the opportunity last year to contribute to a novel, ground breaking research conducted by the Union of Justice, a European, independent, people of colour (POC) led organisation dedicated to racial justice and climate justice. The full report is live now and I am writing this blog post about it because I strongly believe that it is a must-read for anybody who would even wonder why racism ...[Read More]

How do earthquakes nucleate? How do they arrest? Can we predict or control them? How do fault zone structure and rheology influence rupture? What do earthquakes in the lab tell us? How does fluid injection modulate seismicity? The Institut des Etudes Scientifiques de Cargèse (IESC) premise in Corsica, France was abuzz with discussions about these and many other related questions this October. The ...[Read More]

October 25, 2024
The route of our journey from Srinagar to Panikhar.

I am Krishnanand J, a graduate student in glaciology from IISER Pune, India. This is a story about my very first field trip to the Himalaya. Coming from a small village in Kerala, which is the southernmost state of India, going to the Himalaya is considered a big thing. It is like a camel visiting Antarctica. So below, I will take you along on an immersive journey, as I tell you about my first fie ...[Read More]

Combining GRACE and Kalman filter to get superior evapotranspiration estimates

Knowledge gaps in our understanding of the Hydrological Cycle  The water cycle continuously provides us with fresh water.  A critical process in the water cycle is evapotranspiration (ET), meaning that water evaporates from the surface and transpires from plants into the atmosphere. ET plays a crucial role in climate stability and the regulation of global water resources, but it is one of the most ...[Read More]
