More and more datasets of climate-changed #hydrology projections are coming available. How to choose? My colleagues and I developed a quantitative evaluation framework for assessing data robustness for scientific and river management applications. doi.org/10.5066/F7P5...

The Upper Mississippi River has gotten wetter - higher flows, longer high-water periods, and shifting seasonality. How do these changes play out on the floodplain? We mapped 80+ years of daily floodplain submergence to track spatial trends and climate risks. Read more: doi.org/10.1029/2025...

More Water, More of the Time: Spatial Changes in Flooding Over 83 Years in the Upper Mississippi River Floodplain and Relationships With Streamgage‐Derived Proxies
Floodplain inundation regimes have changed since 1940: more area is flooded, deep events are deeper, and long events are longer The magnitude and direction of changing inundation depend on locati...

Excited to see our paper out in #EcoSphere! We developed and compared 3 ML habitat models of reed canarygrass in floodplain forests. Flooding depths, location, and forest structure were important predictors and resulting maps inform forest management decisions. doi.org/10.1002/ecs2...

In my latest for @arstechnica.com, I reported on dam removal as several Klamath dams come down. What are pros and cons of dams? Why are some dams removed? How do you even do that? What about the ecology? Thanks to all the experts that spoke with me ⚒️🧪

The largest US dam-removal effort to date has begun
As US dams age, removal is always an option—and it can be done well.
