A rapidly growing body of work suggests mountain streams emit surprisingly large amounts of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Studies in these environments are scarce and estimates of CO2 fluxes from aquatic environments are poorly constrained. High-altitude tropical grasslands, known as “páramos,” are characterized by high solar radiation, high precipitation, and low temperature. They also…

Seminar Title - Next Generation Water Resources Modeling Framework: Opportunities for Community Involvement. Please check your email for a Zoom link. Abstract - Providing timely inland and coastal continental-scale hydrologic predictions requires modeling in a High Performance Computing environment. The…
As data, including geospatial data, are increasingly mobilized in the service of governments and corporations, their unequal conditions of production, their asymmetrical methods of application, and their unequal effects on both individuals and groups have become increasingly difficult for data scientists–and others who rely on data in their work–to ignore. But it is precisely this…
