Among the many talented students that received their diploma at today's @UTRGV commencement ceremony, were a cohort of very special individuals. This group is the first to graduate with PhDs in Physics from UTRGV, many of whom worked closely with mentors from @STXSpaceScience!

I am excited to share that my research article is now published in Science and featured on the cover! I am very grateful to all of the coauthors (Lawrence, @sedimentdynamic, Alex, @timgoudge ) for this major team effort.
Thank you @NSF and @utrgv for the support

In a global assessment of global river deltas, researchers uncovered a scaling relationship between channel length and land-building extent that echoes the so-called “Hack’s law” in river networks.

ALT During summer, sediment-laden water flows through the branching channel networks of the Yukon River delta in western Alaska, spreading into Norton Sound and depositing sediment thereabouts. The channelized flows and their spreading pattern exhibit a scaling relation between length and area observed across deltas worldwide, which suggests a universal rule for delta growth that resembles Hack’s law for river networks in upstream watersheds.

Hollmann works at the intersection of electromagnetics, sensors, and AI, developing new ways to “see” things that are normally hidden—whether that is measuring blood flow in the brain, tracking changes in glaciers, or sending info thru challenging environments on Earth/in space.

Great day at the International Space Development Conference — our @VanderbiltU Lunar Labs team had the chance to talk with @rookisaacman about @LIGO and gravitational-wave science.
Thank you @nss for inviting us and hosting a session on LILA — the first gravitational-wave experiment on the Moon to probe the fundamental nature of gravity! 🖖🏼
