Congrats @SanazVajedian on publishing a paper in Journal of Hydrology. She led the work on a novel new approach for measuring and modeling subsidence in agricultural regions. @JeremyLMaurer authors.elsevier.com/c/1jg~352cufAMn

Another great morning on Horsetooth Mountain, Fort Collins!

Congratulations to three recent PhD grads for accepting tenure-track faculty positions for the fall! Edson Costa-Filho ('24) -South Dakota Mines Emad Hassan ('21)-Missouri Univ of Science & Techn. Wanting (Lisa) Wang ('22)-Old Dominion Univ @sdsmt @Emad_Shafik @WWang789 @ODU

I am looking for a PhD student passionate about InSAR and looking for advanced research opportunities. Please help in spreading the word to interested students. Thank you! More info: profiles.utdallas.edu/yujie.zheng

This is a nice venue with some really great keynote speakers. Abstracts accepted until Mar 10! hydrologydays.colostate.edu/keynote-speake…

I may not actually be suiting up with @CSUWBasketball against San Jose State this weekend, but you know I’ll be court-side and in the stands with all of you! #Get2Moby and help SELL OUT the game on Saturday, Jan. 27, at 1 pm! 🏀 🎫 col.st/oO9aU @CSURams x #Stalwart

@ProfJoeScalia Yes! I think the photo was taken by Dream Lake.

@SubsidenceGuy Beautiful photo! RMNP?

Had a beautiful hike last Saturday...

@CSU_CivE has some great speakers slotted for the water seminar series this spring. Folks interested in water across campus (and outside CSU) are encouraged to attend! @CSUEngineering @CSUNaturalSci engr.colostate.edu/ce/events/wate…

Decades of excessive groundwater pumping by farming operations have sent the land into a slow-motion collapse. But farm barons have defied calls to cut pumping. @susrust @jvgarrison and I examined the state’s push to put the Tulare Lake Basin on probation: latimes.com/environment/st…

@ChristinaToms @ByIanJames @CartoonKahuna @datagraphics @latimes @susrust @jvgarrison @danderluh There are some areas of uplift, but these are very low-magnitude. You can view the full dataset here: data.cnra.ca.gov/dataset/tre-al…

@ChristinaToms @ByIanJames @CartoonKahuna @datagraphics @latimes @susrust @jvgarrison @danderluh The region over the lake bed itself has less pumping so less subsidence (although a lot of missing data), but adjacent to the bed there is lots of pumping, and still high levels of clay leading to high subsidence.

@watermapper @USGSLandsat @NASA_Landsat great work!

Nice reporting by @JorgeTWeather @abc15 on our global subsidence model! @FahimHydroSense abc15.com/weather/impact… @SanazVajedian @HydroRahel @hydromaj

Great #AGU meeting!

More details in the paper!

Regions with higher historical effective stress (such as the location where the above photo was taken) have been more resilient to recent depletion. However, our models show they are likely to resume rapid subsidence if depletion continues.

Paper alert! One of the most famous photos showing subsidence is from the San Joaquin Valley. Although that region sank ~9 m in a 52 year time span, it is now subsiding far less than other parts of the San Joaquin Valley. Photo below agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
