Some new graphics made for American Rivers show not only the drought we are facing, but other impending crises including hydroelectric generation and dead pool.

NEW: Infographics that reflect the latest data on Colorado River Basin reservoir levels. Spoiler: they're shockingly low. Graphics by @_nbqs, @water4colorado

Export 3D .STL files straight from landscape point cloud datasets, great to have this feature up and running and to work on this with everyone @OpenTopography

Trend: OT users are interested in 3D modeling. Here's a #Jupyter notebook that demos how to subset/thin point cloud datasets using a voxel > triangulation > surface mesh workflow to export a .STL file that can be opened in 3D modeling software: https://t.co/6fmRRk47iP by @_nbqs

Putting Green NYC is open for the summer M-F 3-8 and Sat/Sun 10-9 on the Williamsburg, BK waterfront. Come check out the hole I designed and built with @BillionOyster and Chris Edmonds telling the historical and future story of oysters in New York Harbor.

@CALWATERIMPACT Yes, been working on it. Will be a different graphic as that’s related to water levels instead of volume capacity but stay tuned on it. Thanks for the question and the work you all do!

The long-term drought in the Colorado River Basin continues, and it’s not just Lake Powell and Lake Mead.

@awhager Thanks for sharing my graphic! Comments below were corrected on my profile, please take a look at that one! Look forward to sharing more water issue graphics coming soon

A long-standing OpenTopography feature request has been contour line generation. Today we're happy to launch an on-demand tool that generates contours from point clouds & rasters w/ user-controlled DEM smoothing to make cleaner contours. Learn more: https://t.co/wwQkRYlv18 #lidar

@OpenTopography @UNAVCO appreciate the opportunity and great working with you all!

Just published "The Meandering Mississippi River" story on Medium. Part of an ongoing examination of our relationship with natural systems; this one focusing on geopolitical boundaries based on changing river geomorphology. Check it out and thanks! https://t.co/mrKd2enTT8

@Zack_F_Walker Yup, working out the details to project the GIS images as an overlay on these.

Concrete casting made from historical vector files of the Mississippi River. Thick line is current location, smaller waves are past locations (1820-2019). Process explanation to follow.

During @HouseJudiciary today, I shared why the #EqualityAct is so personal to me and my family. My child is finally free to be who they are. With that freedom comes a responsibility, for us as legislators, to legislate with love and not fear.
