Was really fun to cover this work in a Perspective w/ @freeassocdesign. Sediment austerity is the new coastal norm, but resuspended sediment is likely behind surprising temporary marsh resilience. Creative coastal planning needed. doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

Very happy to share that my research team's most recent paper is now available #OpenAccess at @geosociety! In short, we found that #beaver dammed river corridors in the Rocky Mountains are incredibly fire resistant, even during megafires. doi.org/10.1130/2024.2… 1/n

“#Genderequality benefits everyone + the #cawater policy field is no different,” says our Executive Officer Jessica R. Pearson this International Women’s Day. 💜 “I was fortunate to have people invest in my development, + I will continue to pay it forward through mentorship.”

It’s my last day as the Delta Lead Scientist with the @DeltaCouncil. What a life-changing journey! I learned so much and met so many interesting, smart, and impassioned people. Thank you to everyone! Excited for the Delta Invasive Species Symposium today and talking connectivity!

In celebration of 2023 as the year of #openscience, our Delta Science Program has released a new issue of its #DeltaBreeze newsletter on related efforts in the #sacdelta. 📖 🔹Open science 101 🔹Research funding 🔹Resources 🔹 #Scicomm Read it here ➡ rebrand.ly/db1123!

Congrats to @deni_trogen on her WRR paper looking at wet deposition-stream N synchrony over 17 years of data in the Lamprey River. Spoiler: wet deposition magnifies assimilation and mineralization in the watershed but is not a main driver of river N. doi.org/10.1029/2023WR…

Also, on Sep 14, at 12:00 PM, the ISB's #seminarseries on decision-making under deep uncertainty continues! 🕛 Join @freeassocdesign, associate professor at @UCDHumanEcology, as he presents scenario development methods specific to the #sacdelta ➡ rebrand.ly/dmdu0914.

The Delta ISB's next meeting will be held on Sep 14, starting at 9:00 AM ➡ rebrand.ly/091423. 🕘 The meeting will include a discussion of the #CentralValley Regional #WaterQuality Control Board's Draft #Pyrethroid Research Plan. What's a pyrethroid? Scroll on.

This seems deep

I'm thrilled to announce that the Collaboratory for Equity in Water Allocations (COEQWAL) was funded. It embraces agency-academic-community partnerships and could be a game changer for how CA does water resource planning for a resilient, equitable future. news.berkeley.edu/2023/08/23/fiv…

@Jessica_Pearson @DahmCliff52694 It's pretty awesome! Teal puffy jacket not required. 😉

@DahmCliff52694 @Waterslashcycle Who will be the next Delta Lead Scientist? Please share! rebrand.ly/dlsflyer23

Had the good fortune of reconnecting this year with all of the former Delta lead scientists I’ve had the pleasure of working with! 🤳🏼 🧬 💧 🌱

Does this Delta salinity barrier bring you heartburn? Relief? Tell us about it in the upcoming Human Dimensions of Salinity Management focus groups: 8/23 @ 6pm OR 8/25 @ 10am. Learn more and register here: deltacouncil.ca.gov/delta-science-…

Hey, #environmentalscientists! 📣 Are you passionate about #cawater, ecosystems, + the human impact on both? Do you want to work in the #sacdelta, helping it towards a future of resilience + restoration? Apply by Aug 18 to join our agency ➡ rebrand.ly/envsci8123!

Spread the word: We're seeking a prominent #scientist with #fish #ecology expertise to serve on the Delta Independent Science Board, which provides oversight of the science underlying decision-making for the #sacdelta. Applications are due by Aug 18 ➡ rebrand.ly/dargky9!

#Newblog alert❗ Learn about how a study is revealing just how big a role the #sacdelta's #wetlands play in reducing #greenhousegas emissions, and the "broader impact" dividends it provides to society. Read it here ➡ rebrand.ly/e75ofgb.

The #sacdelta is complex and requires diverse models and tools to understand interactions between its environmental and social dimensions. Read our Delta Science Program's #IntegratedModeling Workshop Summary in preparation for a forthcoming framework ➡ rebrand.ly/vqab742.

In her #newblog, 2022 @CASeaGrant State Fellow and Delta Science Program #environmentalscientist @_aaron_angel writes about how combining social and ecological data can improve monitoring programs in the #sacdelta and across California. Read it here ➡ rebrand.ly/fhdem!

Calling Delta scientists and communities: Reclamation is offering WaterSMART Applied Science grants (up to $200k) for the development of modeling and forecasting tools, hydrologic data platforms, and new data sets. Great opportunity! Webinar at noon Wed. usbr.gov/watersmart/app…
