Welcome Fall 2025! I am delighted to welcome all my students in CE 549! it is great to see students who are taking classes with me since 2024! It usually takes me weeks to know all the students in my class, but this year I know all names and faces from Day 1!

Hi colleagues, we are only one week away from the abstract submission deadline for AGU 2025! If you are working on river morphology related data and/or tools, please consider submitting an abstract to this session.

I am grateful to the Universities Council on Water Resources Education and Public Service Award! I joined academia primarily to pursue research, but as time passes I enjoy the teaching and education part of it more and more!

Last week was an incredible experience delivering @NSF CyberTraining at a community college in south Texas! We trained nearly 30 students on using data science, cloud computing, and AI to tackle real-world water and environmental challenges🌍

Our new, slightly unconventional, article on community engagement for developing RIMORPHIS is now published in the Journal of American Water Resources Association. You may find it interesting!

Congratulations to (Dr) Ankit Ghanghas @_ankitghanghas for defending his PhD thesis, which was about exploring global changes in precipitation extremes!

[Venkatesh Merwade @vmmerwade]

@WardHydro I see HGL and EGL on slides! I am also teaching hydraulics this semester!

[Venkatesh Merwade @vmmerwade]

Happy Diwali from my CE 34000 Hydraulics Class in @PurdueCCE! All the students lit up our classroom and enjoyed sweets to celebrate the festival of lights!

[Venkatesh Merwade @vmmerwade]

This includes the work that our group is doing to map underwater river bathymetry using AI!
