Social-ecological-technological drivers of freshwater salinization in the Occoquan Reservoir, United States - Communications Earth & Environment Long-term monitoring reveals that rising sodium concentrations in a large One Water drinking water supply arise from road salts, reclaimed water, and treatment chemicals, highlighting freshwater&...

As the snow piles up today, it’s a timely reminder of what happens after the plows pass. ❄️🧂

Our latest paper in @commsearth.nature.com looks at how our infrastructure, policy, and winter road safety habits collectively impact the salinity of our drinking water. #Salinization

Had a really great time at #AGU25. Good science, thoughtful questions, and conversations that kept going well beyond the sessions. Grateful for the chance to share some of my work and be part of a session that sparked such engaging discussion. Leaving inspired (and a little tired, in the best way).

If you’re at #AGU25 and interested in how water moves, mixes, and affects drinking water quality, come check out my talk! 🚰📈

Just published in Water Research! 🎉
We applied transit time theory to the Occoquan Reservoir, showing how pollution sources connect to drinking water quality in a One Water system.

This simple, powerful model opens the door to real-time tools for managing water challenges.

Ion Clusters Reveal the Sources, Impacts, and Drivers of Freshwater Salinization Population growth, land use change, climate change, and natural resource extraction are driving the salinization of freshwater resources worldwide. Reversing these trends will require data-centric app...

🚨 New in ES&T! @pubs.acs.org

Ion clusters in an urban stream reveal how salinization varies with hydrology. Storms, baseflow, and snowmelt each leave distinct chemical fingerprints.
