Sharing a monologue I recorded for USC's 20th Anniversary Conference on Dams in which I reflect on how #dams have been both a blessing and a curse in American West, & how shifts in #hydroclimate amid #climate warming will further accentuate that duality.

“Py3DEP is a part of [PyGeoUtils] HyRiver software stack that is designed to aid in hydroclimate analysis through web services. This package provides access to the 3DEP database which is a part of the National Map services. The 3DEP service has multi-resolution sources and depending on the user-provided resolution, the data is resampled on the server-side based on all the available data sources. Py3DEP returns the requests as xarray dataset…”

Globally coherent water cycle response to temperature change during the past two millennia - Nature Geoscience

Global temperature fluctuations during the last 2,000 years caused consistent changes in ocean evaporation and atmospheric moisture condensation processes, reflected in coherent water isotope signals in a large compilation of proxy records.
