Lynker Presented at the California Water and Environmental Modeling Forum

/in /by

Lynker’s Dr. McCord Jim and Justin Clark presented at the 2023 Annual Meeting of the California Water and Environmental Modeling Forum (#CWEMF) in Folsom Lake, California. The theme for 2023, “Modeling for Integrated Water Management,” was well attended by water modeling experts from across the US. Dr. McCord presented his paper that compared and contrasted treatment of groundwater – surface water interactions within the context of water rights administration in California and other states across the western US. Mr. Clark presented a paper on the history of groundwater modeling in Arizona.

Lynker Contributes to Whale Research Across the Hawaiian Archipelago

/in /by

Lynker’s Research Specialist, Eden Zang, along with many others, is making important contributions with new research asking the question: Does more than one population of humpback whales occupy the Hawaiian archipelago?  Their research uses sound monitoring and a remotely operated surface vehicle equipped with sound recorders to track the presence of koholā throughout the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.

Two Lynker employees, Dr. Erica K. Towle, Ph.D. and Dr. Mary E. Allen, are co-authors on the recently published “2022 Ecosystem Status Report Highlights Climate and Ecosystem Change in Hawaiʻi.” This interdisciplinary report includes ecosystem indicators on human connections, commercial landings by small boat commercial fishers, coral reefs and reef fish, climate change and ocean conditions, cumulative human impacts on the nearshore marine environment, and the vulnerability of nearshore marine ecosystems to climate change.

Lynker-Led Publication in AGU Journal

/in /by

Lynker’s Lead Hydrologist, Keith Jennings, PhD, co-authored an innovative research paper that was just published in the AGU journal “Earth and Space Science” called Crowdsourced Data Highlight Precipitation Phase Partitioning Variability in Rain-Snow Transition Zone. In this paper, crowdsourced observations of rain and snow—reported with a web-based app—highlight the shortcomings of computer models and remote sensing platforms in monitoring precipitation phase at air temperatures near freezing. These data indicate that improvements can be made in water resources prediction if we can better leverage novel observation types and networks. Those interested can contribute to the project by heading to https://www.rainorsnow.org for more information.
