I’m recruiting a funded PhD student to join my research group (sites.google.com/view/hewsl/) at USask in 2026. This position will focus on advancing long-term drought prediction under uncertainty. 🌍💧

Happy to share our new paper on a headwater ESRR–key for Canadian Prairies.

Most streamflow came from mountains–water towers.

Streamflow was stable, likely due to groundwater buffering on climate change.

Both ain and wetness drove floods.

Very excited to share that I'll start as an Assistant Professor at the University of Saskatchewan this summer. 😁

My group will focus on hydroclimate extremes and water security to foster more resilient communities.

Thank you to the wonderful people who have been part of this journey.

Thank you very much for featuring our work as the hydrology paper of the day, @KinarNicholas.bsky.social - we truly appreciate it!

Thank you for putting together this fantastic section for our community, now in Bluesky!

Hydrology Paper of the Day @cvidriomx.bsky.social on three decades of civil engineering practice of design flood estimation in Canada: uncertainties and inadequate assumptions in a changing world; the need for considering non-stationary processes; and a disjunct between research and practice.

Design flood estimation in flood hazard studies: a three-decade systematic review of practices in Canada Design floods for flood hazard studies are often estimated through flood frequency analysis (FFA). However, many decisions involved may lead to inconsistencies. There is also a demand to incorporat...

Interested in how design floods are estimated in practice?
Our latest paper reviews and summarizes three decades of practices in Canada.
Practices are improving over time, but there is still a need to enhance consistency, realism, and research-to-practice translation.

CMs predict extreme precip but have systematic errors that must be corrected. Our correction approaches explicitly and continuously address climate nonstationarity and use both extreme and ordinary events. This allows for more realistic correction and improved impact studies.

#ClimateChange

Improved Correction of Extreme Precipitation Through Explicit and Continuous Nonstationarity Treatment and the Metastatistical Approach We introduce nonstationary quantile mapping, which explicitly addresses changing and consistent nonstationarity patterns across periods We propose incorporating the simplified Metastatistical ext...

So excited to share our new paper in WRR 🤗🚨

We introduce advanced bias correction approaches to improve the applicability of extreme precipitation projections from climate models (CM) at local scales under climate change.

May 2025 bring health, happiness, time with loved ones, and that something extra each one wishes for.

Happy New Year to everyone!
