#Renewable #energy production from #rivers! In-stream #hydrokinetic turbines (like wind turbines in water) are a promising & environmental friendly energy source! New study published on @NatureEnergyJnl in collaboration with @MicheleGuala at @saflumn. ➡️ https://t.co/RqW67iE6PX

🚨 I'm hiring PhD students to work @ EPFL to work on two distinct topics: 1️⃣ Hydrokinetic energy in rivers 🌊 2️⃣ Bedforms & sediment training solutions 🏞️ Learn more & applications: 🔗 https://t.co/SnDxmh0nvZ 🔄 Please share! #PhD #WaterResources #Geomorphology

Even more exciting: I’m launching STREEM – the Laboratory for Sustainable River Engineering, Energy, and Morphodynamics! 🌊⚡ Stay tuned—we’ll soon be hiring students & postdocs! 🔗 https://t.co/P4qjEmSt30 #Hydropower #RiverEngineering #SustainableEnergy #Morphodynamics #EPFL

Exciting news! I’ve started as a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Hydraulic Engineering at @epflENAC! Thrilled to return to academic research and take on the exciting challenge of teaching—at one of the best institutions, especially for hydraulic engineering!

The surprising alliance shaping the fate of America’s 90,000 dams

People are rightly ridiculing OpenAI over its accusations of Deepseek using their output to train their model, but most people are missing the truly terrifying implications here. The far more worrying aspect here is that OpenAI is suggesting that there are some cases in which

We captured some really neat footage of lynx this past year on our cameras but this is definitely the coolest. In fact, might be the best video of a lynx we have ever captured, not least because the lynx decided sit right in front of the camera... Thanks to the Minnesota

This work is part of a broader project sponsored by @ENERGY's Water Power Technology Office (#WPTO). The goal is to design a modular hydrosuction sediment bypass system for low-head dams to help mitigate #reservoir #sedimentation issues. #Hydropower #Sediments #RiverEngineering

How do we quantify the effectiveness of the vanes in controlling sediment direction? And so, how do you measure/estimate just the lateral sediment transport? The paper includes tentative answers and proposes a new methodology starting from laser bathymetric scans. 2/3

📢New Paper out for #flumefriday: https://t.co/olryOvsKYV Together with @chienyung_tseng, @SciJiyong , @MicheleGuala, we experimentally tested an array of submerged porous vanes to control the lateral movement of sediments. ..and interesting questions came up! 👇🏽 1/3

🚨 New Paper Alert! 🚨 We proposed a novel approach to quantify lateral bedload transport in a large-scale lab experiment. The result reveals how submerged vanes effectively steer bedform migration to optimize sediment capture! #Sediment #Flumefriday 👉 https://t.co/IgAEjRKwEW

I had the pleasure to participate in last year's edition and I had a blast. I learned so much about the world of policy making that, as an engineer, I knew very little about. This is an amazing opportunity for those interested in translating energy research into actions.

Scientific institutions must create--and sustain--new kinds of roles so that researchers can provide the deep public engagement necessary to respond effectively to the escalating impacts of #climate change. The status quo isn't working. [Thread: 1/n]

Congratulations to Peter Thornton – one of four scientists named as @ORNL Corporate Fellows this year. Throughout his career, Thornton has increased ORNL’s stature in both the national and international #climatechange science communities. https://t.co/gtthOiQqzY

New study finds: "due to technological trajectories set in motion by past policy, a global irreversible solar tipping point may have passed where solar energy gradually comes to dominate global electricity markets, without any further climate policies."
