🌍✨ Reflecting on an incredible week at @theAGU #AGU24 meeting✨🌍 adnanrajib.com/team.html
The day after catastrophic hashtag #floods hit central #Texas, our h2i Lab got to work. I spoke with CBS News yesterday to demo our flood model and data in action. If science doesn’t help people, what’s the point? youtu.be/Fooz3oGOfc0?si… #july4flood #floodplain #campmystic…
Amid the heartbreak and despair, our H2i Lab sprang into action — reconstructing the apocalyptic #texas #flood using our modeling tools in just a few hours. While the nation mourns, one question echoes louder than ever: was this tragedy truly unavoidable? Our animation revealed…
🌍 The world’s natural floodplains are disappearing fast. In just 27 years (1992–2019), we’ve lost a staggering 600,000 km² of floodplains due to human disturbances.🆕 Our new work, just published in @CellRepSustain, takes a bold step. For the first time, we discover the four key…
Awarding my first PhD degree in front of 5000+ graduating students! A once-in-a-lifetime moment that made every late night, every setback, and every ounce of doubt as an early-career faculty feel absolutely worth it. @UTArlington @mavengineering
Always a pleasure to be in Corpus Christi! Through our new US Department of Energy @ENERGY initiative, we just launched the first regional Climate Resilience Center for the #Texas Coastal Bend. Here's to a new knowledge hub for millions of Texans who regularly deal with…
Last week was an incredible experience delivering @NSF CyberTraining at a community college in south Texas! We trained nearly 30 students on using data science, cloud computing, and AI to tackle real-world water and environmental challenges🌍 @vmmerwade @carolsongpu @PurdueCCE…
🌟 Excited to kick off an amazing week in Washington DC, at the @theAGU Fall Meeting! 🌎✨ My group has an exciting lineup of presentations. We're also thrilled to announce open positions for a graduate student and a postdoc. Come join our sessions and connect with us! 🚀👋…
Two UTA researchers are launching the Coastal Bend Climate Resilience Center (CB-CRC), a research initiative to help communities in Texas better prepare for natural hazards like floods and droughts. - I.D.: A linked image of Coastal Bend that leads to the full UTA news release.
🚨 Highlights from an incredible week at the @NSFiGUIDE Forum in Wyoming! 🌟 ✅ We won the I-GUIDE Open Science Champion Award! Our poster showed how end-users can harness #NASA satellite data to deliver practical tools for combating compound hazards of #wildfire ✅ We led a…
Just returned from Montana after a highly successful project meeting for our latest NASA grant. With strong support from major water, environment, and emergency management agencies in #Montana, we developed a solid plan to make NASA’s #wildfire risk data readily useful for…
Had a fantastic week at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) @MIT! Many thanks to @NASA for hosting us and giving us the opportunity to present our new NASA project. We discussed leveraging satellite data, models, and AI to predict how #wildfires impact our #freshwater…
Excited to announce our new @NASA project. Our mission is to develop a powerful tool that simplifies the process of using satellite data for understanding how #wildfires could impact #freshwater resources, especially in underserved communities. uta.edu/news/news-rele……
Adnan Rajib, assistant professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, was awarded a major NASA grant to develop a new-generation tool that will allow states, counties, and cities to predict how much damage wildfires will cause to freshwater supplies.
