What We Love About Critical Zone Research: Nancy Weinheimer - University of Wyoming

Discovering more about how life and soil interact fuels the imagination of Nancy Weinheimer member of the #CriticalZone Collaborative Network @bedrockzone, one of nine clusters in the CZCN along with the #BigData Cluster.

We spoke to her at the American Geophysical Union fall meeting in December 2022. #AGU22

Outtake from illustrations we use in posts about #AGU22 sessions. This one was one of the ways #Midjourney responded when prompted to describe the #CriticalZone.

Design floods are modeling tool used by #CivilEngineers to plan how to build communities in areas that are hydrologically active.

Design floods are also very useful for #EnvironmentalScience research. At #AGU22 last year #UniversityOfVermont-based and Cluster collaborator Scott Lawson presented about work in this area: https://bit.ly/3KTuj9O

Good morning, #science!

These sticker-style illustrations were generated by #midjourney with a prompt about #science and #coffee

Some outtakes from #AIillustrations we shared on #AGU22 mornings last #December.

#TeamBedrock member & Clemson University undergraduate Annalee Chiaviello went to #AGU22 for the first time, and reflected on it in a #BedrockTalks blog post on our website!

Take a look!

2 - Anomalous patterns occurring in hydrological time series

3 - skyrocketing peaks plummeting peaks

4 - Soil gas and water chemistry data

There's a lot to like about the #CriticalZone. After all, it's the weave of #ComplexSystems that support life on #Earth.

From the #bedrock to the #treetops, it's full of lush plant life, beautiful geologic formations, your garden in the backyard.

But for Eric Parker, based at the University of New Hampshire, who is a hydrologist, there's no question about which part of the Critical Zone is his favorite.

Realised today that the #AGU22 plenaries are publicly available - catching up by starting with Mika Tosca's Art and Science plenary. So good. https://www.agu.org/Fall-Meeting/Pages/Schedule-Events/Keynotes-Plenaries/#tosca

So Will Smith gets away with an Oscar even if he smacks someone on stage, but scientists (@ClimateHuman and @ultracricket) non-violently spreading the word of #ClimateCrisis in #AGU gets expelled and removed from the programme? Strange times indeed.

(prompts L-R)

1 - soil gas and water chemistry data

2 - a noticeable deterioration of water quality

3 - unprecedented wildfires and reduced snowmelt runoff

4 - using AI techniques with a focus on detecting peak anomalies

I was too far away from the convention center for #AGU22 and now I am too close (imo) to the convention center for #AMS2023.

Also, I realized that I have traveled via #Denver thrice for #NCAR workshops in the past and have never entered the city proper.

Still recovering from #AGU22. This was probably my most enjoyable AGU conference. Met many new and old collaborators, enjoyed presentations from ECRs and seasoned individuals and on many subjects not represented at my home institution. It was a good mix.

It was such a pleasure to see so many familiar faces and meet new colleagues at #AGU22 who are working on compound climate/weather extreme events and multi-risk! It's always inspiring to be around so many dedicated and passionate scientists working towards a better understanding and management of these complex challenges.

A special thanks to Risk-KAN for helping this #AGU side tradition continue.
