🦠 ❄️👨‍🔬 Diving into the mysteries of the Arctic's warming soil with Berkeley Lab scientist, nick bouskill. "Will these areas become carbon sources, or will they remain carbon sinks?" Learn more in the recent Science News article: bit.ly/3weZzez #SoilScience

Reminder from your local neighborhood sewer system that "flushable" wipes are still NOT flushable.

This is the saddest debate I have ever watched since I came to the US! One guy is just lying and never answering questions and exaggerates left and right and president Biden looks really old. #Debates2024

All those lights and computers! Need to remind ourselves that Tesla’s Gigafactory (as a whole, not just the Supercomputer Cluster) consumes approximately 25 megawatt-hours (MWh) of energy every hour, equivalent to powering around 1,000 average American households. Water use? 1/3

Stuart McLay The hierarchy of nature based solutions is: 1. Protect what we already have 2. Restore what’s been degraded 3. Replace what’s been destroyed

UCR press release on our latest paper focusing on understanding groundwater recharge processes in the Sierra Nevada! Great work by Sandra Armengol and Juan S. Acero Triana from Ajami Lab!

👩‍🔬🚰🔥 “We’re destabilizing water systems, and we don’t even know in what way and how.” -Newsha Ajami, EESA's Chief Development Officer for Research in a recent The Washington Post article about wildfire's effect on drinking water. Read more: wapo.st/4fsKKGY Berkeley Lab

Stumbled upon this 1959 American Water Works Association journal article "Consolidation of Water Systems in California". Waiting for kbdobbin & Amanda Fencl, PhD's full analysis on how things have changed in the last 65 years. But the obvious difference is the drop in mutuals from 55% of the total!

Schools in Deep Water: Bay Area Faces Uphill Battle Against Climate Change The “razor-thin margin” between dry land and the bay will become even slimmer as seas rise, said Patrick Barnard w/USGS. katie worth KQED News KQED Science Climate Central kqed.org/science/199378…

#Wildfires affect the water we drink and the air we breathe," says Earth and Environmental Sciences at Berkeley Lab's Newsha Ajami. "They can reduce wildlife habitat, displace entire human communities, and disrupt energy and transportation systems." wildfire.lbl.gov/about/ #WildfireResearch

"Preventive measures need to be in place for communities of any size to handle the aftermath of nearby #wildfires on their #water supply," says Earth and Environmental Sciences at Berkeley Lab's Newsha Ajami. Michael J. Coren washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…

A paper led by my postdoc- Leila Rahimi-was just published in AGU (American Geophysical Union) Earth's Future. We demonstrated a hybrid method for improving the bias correction of climate variables in high quantiles.
