Post affirmative action, the already abysmal numbers of Native students at some elite colleges have plummeted even further. At Harvard, Native enrollment fell by half. At Princeton it fell from less than 1% to 0.1% of admitted students from the class of 2027 to the class of 2028.
Anyone have any recommendations for sources of hourly precipitation data? (Location: Crested Butte, CO)

PhD Paper #1 is officially published as of today!! We developed a new tool to quantify solute reactions called hyporheic reaction potential (HRP): pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…
HRP treats the hyporheic zone like a bioreactor and estimates the overall capacity of the hyporheic zone to support gradient-driven reactions using nested water samples paired with tracer studies

Thanks @AGU_H3S for the feature on my favorite outreach project I've been involved with, water sampling and community science on the Navajo Nation: agu-h3s.org/post/empowering-…

Somewhere over the rainbow Mines hydrology research is happening. @SwiftBirdHydro @StephenGialamas

147 years ago, our ancestors took a stand to defend and protect our people, our life ways, and our homelands.
Let this day serve as a reminder that when Tribal Nations unite, we are POWERFUL. #LittleBighornVictoryDay is a prime example of that collective strength.
In the blink of an eye, 115 years of legal precedence from the Winters doctrine (which states that when reservations were formed, the water necessary to fulfill the purpose of the reservation was reserved) is gone

My favorite athlete of all time, just submitted a draft for review and I think it's time for an afternoon run in honor of Billy Mills
On this day October 14th in 1964, Billy Mills (Oglala Lakota) won the gold medal in the 10,000-meter race at the Tokyo Olympics. He is still the only American to win a gold medal in this event.
