In a blistering decision on Friday, a federal judge ruled that the Trump Administration and the OPM acted illegally when it fired tens of thousands of probationary federal employees at NOAA, NSF, and other agencies “for cause” in February.

I'm glad to see that early career folks are using the TC catchment hydrology as one additional way to get their great work out to the community.
If you feel encouraged seeing the upcoming highlights over the coming weeks, please add your latest publication to the list of soon to be highlighted ones.

AGU Catchment Hydrology Technical Committee @agucatchhydro.bsky.social · Aug 18

Earlier this year, we invited undergrads, grad students & postdocs with recent publications in #catchmenthydrology to share their work with us📄
Starting now, we’ll highlight one of these papers every two weeks until #AGU25 — helping #earlycareer scientists spread their research!🚀

Widespread potential for streamflow leakage across Brazil - Nature Communications

Most Brazilian rivers are found to have the potential for stream water losses into underlying aquifers, especially in drier climates, thicker aquifers, and regions with extensive groundwater pumping.

AGU Catchment Hydrology Technical Committee @agucatchhydro.bsky.social · Aug 18

According to the author: “We analyse GW level observations from 17,972 wells across Brazil, and show that most of the Brazilian well water levels lie below nearby stream surfaces (55%), suggesting that these streamwaters will seep into the subsurface if sufficiently permeable.”
