Blow-Me-Down Brook, NH – An NHD Flowline Picked ‘Randomly’
--
npshistory.com/brochures/saga/ <-- 1981 NPS guide
--
usgs.gov/3d-hydrography-progra <-- USGS’s 3DHP home page
--
I am working on some hydroaddressing / network traversing technical approaches for 3DHP – and needed an example of a multisegment flowline in NHD-sourced dataset, and so ‘randomly’ got this one - Blow-Me-Down, NH, from WBD HUC4-0108.
Although we map so many flowlines (~20 million in the USA for NHD-sourced spatial data, estimated 10x that for the EDH data still to be determined across the USA), I like trying to understand what a flowline or waterbody ‘is’ to the people on the ground as much as I can...

At What Scales Does A River Meander? Scale-Specific Sinuosity (S3) Metric For Quantifying Stream Meander Size Distribution
--
doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.202 <-- shared paper
--
“HIGHLIGHTS:
• Scale-specific sinuosity (S3) summarizes bend sizes of linear features and associated contributions to sinuosity across a range of scales.
• The S3 plot is analogous to a frequency histogram of bend sizes, like a fingerprint or a spectral signature
• The S3 is an easily computed metric to assess influential scales in bend patterns of linear stream features
• The paper formalizes a relation between sinuosity and fractal dimension..."

If this super conductor is the real deal, what will it do for us in practical terms? What are the things we can use it for?

Researchers Michal Hammel and Greg Hura from our division have partnered with Genentech to perform small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) at the
Advanced Light Source to quickly screen potential lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). LNPs are an emerging drug delivery technology used to encase therapeutic agents and deliver them unscathed to affected tissues.

Just Upgraded To PostgreSQL 15, Lets Have A Look

postgresql.org/about/news/post <-- release notes, Oct. ‘22

Just got PostgreSQL 15 installed, most I will never have a need for, but look forward to continuing to grow more into it as part of my applied science work with my team - and with the elephant looking down on me from the bookshelf, (very) quietly encouraging me to learn more and use more (as silly as that of course is!)

The Fluvial Geomorphology Equivalent Of ‘Ontogeny Recapitulates Phylogeny’?
--
usgs.gov/3d-elevation-program <-- USGS’s 3DEP’s open data for elevation
--
This is a ‘quick and dirty’ visualisation I made the other day with 3DEP iFSAR data to get a better sense of the fluvial geomorphology up in this area of NE Alaska near Kaktovik/Gordon, it is amazing what pops...
Lay over some hydrology vectors, some of the underlying geology boundaries, etc - and the landforms become much easier to understand in terms of origin and development - the geomorphic/hydrologic/erosional/geologic/vegetative/etc equivalent of biology's “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny”?
