Proud of @AB_Siddik_! He has been doing great work and has been incredibly productive during his time in my group. He is scheduled to graduate Dec 2023 so if you are looking for a postdoc or new faculty member doing water-energy/infrastructure research, keep him in mind!

Reflecting on an amazing week at #AGU23! It was an honor to give an invited talk on my research, which tracked the flow of food, energy, and water from watersheds to US cities. We also explored the role of infrastructure in mitigating water scarcity risk through the supply chain.

@MeganKonar Thanks!

[AB Siddik @AB_Siddik_]

Presenting at #AGU2023 tomorrow! If the Food-Energy-Water nexus aligns with your research interests, catch my oral presentation at 8:30 am. Looking forward to sharing insights!

[Landon Marston @LandonMarston]

Just a few days until #AGU23! If you are trying to figure out what sessions to visit (there are soooo many!) and you are interested in human-water systems, check out posters, elightening talks, and oral presentations from students/postdocs in my group.

The best part about this job is getting to work alongside & mentor students. We had our first group retreat this fall to welcome 6 new grad students to our group after 5 graduated in the spring. Excited to teach and learn from these bright folks!

[AB Siddik @AB_Siddik_]

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Dr. Zoe Ao, Dr. Landon Marston, and Dr. Megan Konar on this project, and it was truly a remarkable experience.

How do US watersheds support the production of food, energy, and potable water supplies? Where is this production exposed to water stress? Where do dams and aquifers buffer against surface water shortages? We answer these questions in our recent paper:

👏Cecilia, @GambhirLamsal1, @YunusNaseri, and @AB_Siddik_ all passed their prelim exams. I’m excited about the research they have planned… there should be lots of really interesting/novel papers coming from our group in the next couple of years. (5/8)

For more detailed findings, check out the paper linked in the first tweet! This was a great collaboration with my PhD advisor, @LandonMarston , and colleague Maria Amaya.

From esoteric to a mainstream, cryptocurrencies have come a long way. As the popularity of crypto grows, so do concerns over its environmental impact. How do crypto's carbon and water footprints compare to traditional currencies? We answer this here (1/6):

Therefore, site selection can be a mean to minimize the environmental footprint. We identify countries with low and high water and GHG emission intensities for electricity generation to help shed light on the environmental implications of site selection for crypto mining. (5/6)

Retiring fossil fuel fired power plants will help meet climate goals. These power plants also use a LOT of water. When, where, and how much water will be made available upon their retirement? We answer this here: 1/7

I also presented our work on interbasin water transfers at #EWRI2022. This research is being led by @AB_Siddik_ , a PhD student in my group. Soon, we will share a national inventory and mapping of interbasin water transfers in the US. Be on the lookout!

[Landon Marston @LandonMarston]

It is great to have in person conferences again, especially for the students. Four members of my group presented this week at #EWRI2022 and did a great job!

Interested in human-water systems? Miss networking and hearing about the latest research? We got you covered. Back by popular demand, this fall we have a new lineup of speakers for Human-Water Systems Monthly seminar + networking series. (1/4)

[Landon Marston @LandonMarston]

We are looking to fill several Intern/MS/PhD/Postdoc positions to work on an exciting interdisciplinary project related to sustainable groundwater governance! This NSF project (https://t.co/TMcjrb20nj) will integrate environmental and social sciences... 1/3

Data centers in the U.S. disproportionately consume water from water-stressed basins. New research from @LandonMarston and @AB_Siddik_ @VirginiaTechCEE, and @DigitalArman @Berkeleylab, story by @andrew7chapman.
