Such a cool paper from Tian Dong and Lawrence Vulis (who met at the CSDMS ESPIn summer academy!), "Apparent Hack’s law in river deltas" just published in Science demonstrates relationship between delta's growth/change and distributary channel length. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Hello Bluesky. Here is a photo of our first lab meeting for 2025, which was on 01/29, for my first post. My lab has grown significantly over the first ~26 months of my tenure track. I’m grateful and overwhelmed 😴
