Ever wonder why mudslides often happen after wildfires? I made a 4-minute video explaining how flood and debris flow risks can get worse after fires for general audiences! youtu.be/I20jHsBl0lA #SciComm #wildfire #flood #mudslide #debrisflow #engineering

When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018. Read more on #STEMSTEAMDay: bit.ly/3CghCUd

Time-lapse compilation from the Orange County #AirportFire burning up to the Santiago Peak infrastructure captured by ALERTCalifornia this AM. Cameras are still functional - check live conditions at bit.ly/47j98qQ, follow @OCFireAuthority & @ClevelandNF for updates.

Remarkable images from Santiago Peak fire cams as comms site there overrun by #AirportFire. Appears that cameras may have been within a few yards of a significant fire whirl... #CAfire

A SoCal resident survey reveals a tendency to discount the proximity of fire/flood/mudslide hazards (spatial optimism). However, experience with one hazard increases perceptions of others. Work in E&B led by Doug Houston and @operezfi @Social_Ecology doi.org/10.1177/001391…

New article 🔥 with an amazing interdisciplinary team, including Dr. Houston, @UCIFloodLab, @floodafterfire, and Dr. Schubert, on why understanding multi-hazard perceptions is crucial for emergency preparation and hazard mitigation: journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.11…

How can we estimate the effects of wildfire on flood risk vis-à-vis infrastructure clogging w/ sediment? Our new paper in WRR presents a method for calibrating and validating a model that helps flood agencies identify undersized infrastructure @UCIFloodLab doi.org/10.1029/2023WR…

I'm recruiting a postdoc in climate and land stewardship to start this fall! Candidates with experience in ecology, semi-arid ecosystems, and Indigenous knowledges are encouraged to apply. @UCIEEB Please RT. recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF08685

If I were polling people on the likelihood of blowing past the Paris targets, I wouldn't ask climate scientists: I'd poll CEOs, elected officials, and leaders, at every scale. I'd ask WHY they felt that way. And I'd want those answers shared. For more: linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

@operezfi @N_Ulibarri @SuellenHopfer1 Congrats Omar!! 👏🏼🎉

Finally out my first publication as a Tenure Track Assistant Professor—A Content Analysis of social media discourse during Hurricane Maria—doi.org/10.1007/s13412… Big thanks to my co-authors! @N_Ulibarri and @SuellenHopfer1

Dr. Olivares and the CEER group are co-hosting the 3rd annual Social Justice in CEE seminar this upcoming spring quarter. The seminar includes talks centered around the intersections of civil and environmental engineering. Hope to see you there!

A look at #Silverado Creek with only a couple inches of #rain - and heavier rain expected this afternoon. Stay far back from creeks & riverbeds during heavy rain as they can be life-threatening. #OrangeCounty

‼️EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION UNFOLDING IN THE HOLLYWOOD HILLS AREA AND AROUND THE SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS‼️ Life threatening landslides and additional flash flooding expected overnight tonight. Avoid travel if at all possible. #LArain #CAwx #Socal #Californiastorm

We're seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar with a passion for researching compound coastal flood risk assessment. Explore more details here: recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF08823 RT would be much appreciated.

@tylerleeanthony @UCBerkeley @whendeesilver @CA_DWR Congrats!! 🎉 Sounds like a cool job!

After 8+ years @UCBerkeley tech -> PhD -> postdoc w/ @whendeesilver, it’s my first day as a Senior Environmental Scientist in the @CA_DWR Division of Multi-Benefit Initiatives as a specialist of GHG emissions reduction and lead technical specialist on carbon sequestration!

Postdoc opening @ucirvine in climate, land, and water stewardship - candidates with interests in conservation, policy, Indigenous eco knowledge, and env justice are encouraged. One of 4 postdoc positions for #WUICAN. Apply by Oct 29. recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF08685

Most of the rain associated with this impressive early season storm will stay over the Pacific Northwest, but significant rainfall is likely in the active wildfire zone in far NW CA and lighter precip could briefly make it as far south as SF/Sacramento. #CAwx #CAfire

Hot off the presses from my work during my postdoc: doi.org/10.1029/2023GL… "Predicting Postfire Sediment Yields of Small Steep Catchments Using Airborne Lidar Differencing"

@GeomorphJimmy Congrats to both you and Lisa! I'll stop by the presention at AGU!

Proud advisor: shout out to CSUMB Watershed Geo Lab students Lisa, Ellery, and Abraham for their first undergrad presentation! Lisa ended up taking home an Outstanding Presentation Award.
