#DRI scientists take AP #EnvironmentalScience students to the #MountRose summit every spring to measure the water content of the #snowpack. Fun fact: DRI's own Blake Minor, who now leads these trips, was first introduced to snow hydrology as a student on this trip himself!

Today is #WorldWaterDay! Let’s shine a light on the unseen hero of our ecosystems- evapotranspiration (ET), crucial for sustainable agriculture and food security. #OpenET

Excited to share that our paper published in @WileyGlobal @HydroProcesses was one of the most downloaded articles between 2022 and 2023.

🌅 A huge win for South Lake Tahoe! 🌲 "By reconnecting the most important wetland that filters water flowing into the Lake, this investment protects the Lake’s precious water quality and also provides an important corridor for local wildlife." - @WadeCrowfoot

#DRI scientists led a team of researchers in a comparison of OpenET data to #evapotranspiration data produced by ground-based stations and found that OpenET data has high accuracy for assessing evapotranspiration in #agricultural settings: https://t.co/aDst8BqnbE. #DiscoverDRI

New paper from the OpenET team out in Nature Water!

[Ali Ahmadalipour @hydroclimali]

I’ve developed a new #python tutorial that combines the power of Google Earth Engine and @xarray_dev for geospatial data analysis. The combo seems really powerful and convenient to use!
🔗 Here's an article I wrote to explain the details:

Analyzing large vector datasets on @source_coop with #DuckDB 🦆Using the 75 GB National Wetlands Inventory as an example. It used to take me hours to get summary statistics of the dataset, now it takes seconds with DuckDB 🚀
