The Bowie Medal speech by Soroosh Sorooshian. Congratulations! @theAGU @UCIrvine

@GavinNewsom @realDonaldTrump Yes please!

Californians pay the bills for the federal government. We pay over $80 BILLION more in taxes than we get back. Maybe it’s time to cut that off, @realDonaldTrump.

Sad day for everyone! SF should and could have led the way but chose not to

@Sammy_Roth @Schwarzenegger If interested I wrote the following comment on their 2012 EIR. The facts still holds, the tricks has certainly evolved biologicaldiversity.org/campaigns/Cadi…

Get this: To move groundwater from the Mojave Desert to SoCal cities, Cadiz Inc. bought 180 miles of leftover steel pipe from the axed Keystone XL oil pipeline. Just one fascinating tactic from CEO Susan Kennedy, former chief of staff to @Schwarzenegger: latimes.com/environment/ne…

Green hydrogen or greenwashing? The Mojave Desert groundwater scheme that won’t go away has a new twist. For my latest @latimes column, I talked with Cadiz’s politically connected new CEO, Susan Kennedy. She’s got all sorts of tricks up her sleeve: latimes.com/environment/ne…

It was great to present at @BOM_au seminar about my research on using machine learning models for hindcasting extreme flood events in coastal watersheds. Thanks @NGhajarnia & @BOM_au for the invitation!

Remembering the first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize, the first individual to be awarded two Nobel Prizes and still today the only individual with two Nobel Prizes in two different scientific categories: Marie Skłodowska Curie. Curie was born #OnThisDay in 1867.

Thank you @KingJames for using your voice to make clear what’s at stake. Listen to LeBron, make sure you vote.

@H2ODraganSavic I meant renting a movie on an app😉 but for sure matinee shows at smaller theaters might fall under this category as well!

@NewshaAjami With popcorn? 😉

Don't know whether to laugh or cry?!?

It has finally arrived on my desk! The second edition of the #Water Supply and Distribution Systems book. Three years in making. A big thank you to all contributors!

The Sustainability Conundrum: Earth vs. Lunar Data Centers Recent discussions highlight the urgent need for sustainable solutions in the tech industry: Earth's Data Centers: Expected to consume 2.5% of global electricity by 2027, potentially emitting 330.77 million metric tons of CO2. Efforts are underway for greener operations, but local resource strain remains a concern. hashtag#TechAndClimate hashtag#InnovationVsSustainability Lunar Data Centers: While technologically intriguing, the feasibility is overshadowed by immense initial costs and environmental challenges of space. Could future advancements make this a viable alternative? hashtag#SpaceTech hashtag#MicrosoftDilemma This post invites a dialogue on balancing technological advancements with sustainability, urging us to innovate responsibly. #TechThirst #AIForGoodOrBad #Earth05 #ROL #CoCreationPrize #Earth05Prize

Exciting Developments in Sustainable Transportation and Energy! Mercedes-Benz, in collaboration with the province of Ontario, has launched three EV incubators aimed at fostering innovation in electric vehicle technology. This initiative not only underscores Mercedes' commitment to electrification but also highlights Ontario's ambition to become a North American hub for EV innovation. With a focus on safety, efficiency, and reduced waste, advanced nuclear technologies are gaining traction as a crucial piece of the clean energy puzzle. Innovations like small modular reactors (SMRs) promise scalable, flexible, and potentially cheaper energy solutions, aligning with global decarbonization goals.
