Even did some of our university field classes on our bikes!

Online in about 2 weeks, registering is still possible.

This is an online event, and still accepting attendees, but the Claw team does ask for you to register and tell them more about your interests in the tools!

Can use this finding straight away! Thanks for the alert.

It is a bit further North at present.

OMG, this is not good news. Not too much fuel left in the area. What about Spruce Gulch though?

Ahh good to see! This will be cool to put our work at Gilkey and Field glacier lakes in context. @app-glaciers.bsky.social

Friday afternoon field class time, working out differences between handheld GPS units and phone GPS (while on airplane mode). @cubouldearth.bsky.social

The NextGen Water Resources Modeling Framework: Community Innovation at the Intersection of Hydrologic, Data and Computer Sciences Hydrologic science lacks a comprehensive theory of stormflow generation, preventing the development of a general hydrologic model. Studies show that models focusing on dominant local processes often ...

A new paper by Ogden et al. describes the framework of the NextGen Water Resources Modeling Framework, which uses CSDMS technologies such as the Basic Model Interface (BMI).

Check this out, another model intercomparison experiment is launched, with very cool tools and coastal wave forcing data ready to grab for download. Challenging all beach modelers.

but also, there is a simple climate change model? just a little python package? docs.fairmodel.net/en/latest/ex...

The AI-Augmented Scientist The promise and pitfalls of using AI tools to boost my capabilities as a scientist

This is a great post to get an idea how a skilled user quickly do science by prompting.

Inaugural Sustainability Research Initiative Research Fellows unveiled This SRI Research Fellowship will serve as a year-long incubator designed to bring together CU Boulder researchers from across academic units, disciplines and

Congratulations to Keith Musselman and Irina Overeem, who were selected as members of the inaugural cohort of Sustainability Research Initiative Research Fellows at CU Boulder.

As fellows, the researchers will participate in a year-long interdisciplinary research incubator.

Excited about it!

Antartica may be far away, but sea level rise originating from the decay of its mighty icecap is relevant for millions to billions of people. F.e. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The Colorado River Crisis is Here States fail to reach a deal; Lake Powell Deadpool appears imminent

Helpful article for understanding what is at stake for different states using Colorado river water - hydropower, municipal use and irrigation downstream, but also irrigation versus ecosystem health in the Upper Colorado states. Dams not designed for this drought.

Evolution and Provenance of the Polish Rotliegend in the Southern Permian Basin Using goSPL, we reconstruct for the first time a Landscape Evolution Model for the Permian source-to-sink system of the Polish Trough We suggest that the Fenno-Scandian Shield and the Carpathian ...

Fresh off the press, an amazing application by Beatriz Boggiani of landscape evolution modeling of the Permian redbeds and copper occurrence. Uses paleo-topography and climate to create a source to sink reconstruction of a continental scale basin.

Aah, yes, the buried ice makes sense. Will take a quick look at this paper - brain terrain!

Do you think this formed subglacially? It looks really odd!

Working With Non-Cloud-Optimized Data Just Got Easier | NASA Earthdata NASA Openscapes and earthaccess collaborated to add capability to VirtualiZarr, the DMR++ parser, and Python libraries to enhance the use of non-cloud-optimized data.

📚 What we're reading: "Working With Non-Cloud-Optimized Data Just Got Easier," on Earthdata.

NASA’s Openscapes and earthaccess communities collaborated to bring cloud-like capability to popular, non-cloud formats like netCDF/HDF files found in NASA's Earthdata archive. 🌐

I would not be a scientist here if this sort of regulation had been around. In STEM many graduates and postdoc are international.

Meanwhile on earth ....

On their way! 4 people on NASA Crew-12 mission launch to International Space Station The four are set to dock with the space station on Saturday, returning the orbital lab to its full complement of seven. NASA's last mission, Crew-11, left a month early due to an ill crew member.

Crew 12 off to the space station. EU-Russian-US collaboration, led by Jessica Meir! Women in science and space this week - amazing things are still happening. www.npr.org/2026/02/13/n...

Today is International Day of Women in Science!

The CSDMS 2026 Student Modeler Award winner is Caitlin Turner, LSU! Katie won for her submission, "Improving long-term daily gauge forecasting using a hybrid neural network model (GaugePredict)." She will present her work at the 2026 CSDMS Annual Meeting at UMinn in May.

Thanks for the heads-up, sounds like I need to spend some time on youtube...

Kicking off this 75th anniversary, Dianne McKnight gave a very fun keynote! how the work on DOM in small streams makes a difference: definitely through outreach.

Our Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research @instaar celebrates its 75th anniversary this year! Josie Arcuri was one of the graduate students showcasing how the Arctic system is changing. Well done!

That does sound really frustrating!!! Hoping for the best from here.
