An article on my new Academically Based Community Service class where students from @Penn and West Philly's Sayre High School learn river science together, coordinated by @NetterCory with @WaterCenterPenn and @PennSAS and @PennEngineers
To start meteorological winter 2024-25
I have an essay in NY Times this morning highlighting the importance of NOAA and especially the National Weather Service.
As my focus is numerical weather modeling, I believe it is critical for economic and national security to have world-leading capabilities across all time scales from minutes (tornado warnings), hours, days, and months or years.
The new Congress in January 2025 can immediately get to work on several priorities. With every taxpayer penny under intense scrutiny, I argue that investment in NOAA is money well spent.
If you're seeing the Northern Lights tonight, here's an explainer of how the different colors can appear! We are currently seeing a vivid display of pinks and greens here at the office!
Happy to announce that @NSF support for OpenTopography has been renewed for another four years! This is the 5th generation of funding for OT. Support comes from NSF EAR's Geoinformatics program & the National Discovery Cloud for Climate initiative. More: https://t.co/v0kLuNJ3lG
It’s our responsibility to protect our environment and Monterey Bay and I was proud to work alongside our community to break ground on a new facility at @CSUMB that will cement CA-19’s leadership in conservation.

- Why are #beavers so good at engineering ecosystems?
- When did they first start doing it?
- Do they really help with floods, droughts, AND wildfires?
Get answers to these Q's and more in a new peer-reviewed review article I wrote with @ecohydro_gal!

How can we estimate the effects of wildfire on flood risk vis-à-vis infrastructure clogging w/ sediment? Our new paper in WRR presents a method for calibrating and validating a model that helps flood agencies identify undersized infrastructure @UCIFloodLab

🤩 More BIG news for #CSUMB! New grant will support efforts to level the coding playing field.
“We want students to develop a sense of belonging,” she said, “and to feel that they make a difference.”

Last Congress, we passed legislation that was the largest investment in human history to confront climate change. I proudly announced that due to our legislation, CA-19 will be getting a major federal investment in local conservation programs.

Excited to be the @CSUMB PI for this NOAA-funded project. This will create huge opportunities for our @csumbscience students and our region as a whole. Part of a large team of a few dozen organizations pursuing climate resiliency work in the Monterey Bay area.
🌊 Exciting news for #CalStateMontereyBay! NOAA grant provides $2 million for climate-related internships.
“For me, this is all about student success,” Horvath said. “Everything just aligns beautifully with the CSUMB mission and vision.”
