From Josh:

Some changes are afoot on the list/website, so please read. Sorry for all the words this time!

• Probably the biggest request was to separate out further the years experience, especially on the junior side. So, that’s what we did. It’s now 0-2, 3-4, 5-7, 8-9 and 10+. We’ll try this for a while to see how it works (please shoot me an email if you feel strongly about it either way). Please be aware that creating the new categories has thrown the years experience function on the website into disarray and will take some time before all jobs fall into the new categories (besides 10+). All old 0-4 fall into 0-2 right now and likewise for 5-9 into 5-7. New jobs as of this week will go into the new categories.
• WASH positions are also now divided by years experience in the email
• I’ve hyperlinked the categories in the email to the same categories on the website, as much as I can, so people can just go to those in their experience category if you choose. This was to appease those who don’t like the big lists, but 80% of you did!
• I played with the regions a bit (as you can search by region in the “Advanced search” function on the website if you did not know) to see about adding more, but, in the end, this became convoluted as there are too many sub-regions and there are different ways to categorize different countries, so I switched back to the five. This caused for a loss of previous uploaded jobs to have a regional categorization, so will also take some time to recover.
• We do realize the location search on the website is not ideal and this will be one of the larger fixes that will take some time to carry out. Right now, the website saves geographic locations, so you can start typing in the country, city, or sometimes state/province and if there was or is a job there, it will pop up. Washington DC is a tough one (as was noted by a few in the survey), but if you type “District of Columbia”, they are found there.
• I have to do some thinking about further changes that were suggested and, again, some will take some time. Everyone who works on the site does so in their free time, so things just take time. But, we’re doing our best to improve your experience.

“It’s not true that you never learn from history. You do, but then you forget.” – Martin Wolf

Paper: 'Origin of Earth’s Water - Chondritic Inheritance Plus Nebular Ingassing and Storage of Hydrogen in the Core'

Nifty stuff from Jun Wu, Steven J. Desch, Laura Schaefer, Linda T. Elkins-Tanton, Kevehm Pahlevan and Peter R. Buseck: Origin of Earth's Water: Chondritic Inheritance Plus Nebular Ingassing and Storage of Hydrogen in the Core, J. Geophysical Research - Planets..

Download Wu_et_al-2018-Journal_of_Geophysical_Research_Planets

Abstract

Recent developments in planet formation theory and measurements of low D/H in deep mantle material support a solar nebula source for some of Earth's hydrogen. Here we present a new model for the origin of Earth's water that considers both chondritic water and nebular ingassing of hydrogen. The largest embryo that formed Earth likely had a magma ocean while the solar nebula persisted and could have ingassed nebular gases. The model considers iron hydrogenation reactions during Earth's core formation as a mechanism for both sequestering hydrogen in the core and simultaneously fractionating hydrogen isotopes. By parameterizing the isotopic fractionation factor and initial bulk D/H ratio of Earth's chondritic material, we explore the combined effects of elemental dissolution and isotopic fractionation of hydrogen in iron. By fitting to the two key constraints (three oceans' worth of water in Earth's mantle and on its surface; and D/H in the bulk silicate Earth close to 150 × 10⁻⁶), the model searches for best solutions among ~10,000 different combinations of chondritic and nebular contributions. We find that ingassing of a small amount, typically >0–0.5 oceans of nebular hydrogen, is generally demanded, supplementing seven to eight oceans from chondritic contributions. About 60% of the total hydrogen enters the core, and attendant isotopic fractionation plausibly lowers the core's D/H to ~130 × 10⁻⁶. Crystallized magma ocean material may have D/H ≈ 110 × 10⁻⁶. These modeling results readily explain the low D/H in core‐mantle boundary material and account for Earth's inventory of solar neon and helium.

Plain Language Summary

People have long had curiosity in the origin of Earth's water (equivalently hydrogen). Solar nebula has been given the least attention among existing theories, although it was the predominating reservoir of hydrogen in our early solar system. Here we present a first model for Earth's water origin that quantifies contribution from the solar nebula in addition to that from chondrites, the primary building blocks of Earth. The model considers dissolution of nebular hydrogen into the early Earth's magma oceans and reaction between hydrogen and iron droplets within the magma ocean. Such processes not only delivered countless hydrogen atoms from the mantle to the core but also generated an appreciable difference in hydrogen isotopic composition (2H/1H ratio) between the mantle and core. Fitting the model to current knowledge about Earth's hydrogen produces best combinations of nebular and chondritic contributions to Earth's water. We find that nearly one out of every 100 water molecules on Earth came from the solar nebula. Our planet hides majority of its water inside, with roughly two oceans in the mantle and four to five oceans in the core. These results suggest inevitable formation of water on sufficiently large rocky planets in extrasolar systems.

Let's get to the bottom line:

Conclusions

Our comprehensive model for the origin of Earth's water considers, for the first time, the effects of isotopic fractionation as hydrogen dissolved into metal and was sequestered into the core. Based on the behaviors of proxies, we consider it likely that the D/H ratio of the core is ~10% lighter than the mantle. We hypothesize that Earth accreted a few to tens of oceans of water from chondrites, mostly carbonaceous chondrites. Drawing on the latest theories of planet formation, which argue for rapid (<2 Myr) formation of planetary embryos, we favor ingassing of a few tenths of an ocean of solar nebula hydrogen into the magma oceans of the embryos that formed Earth.

Based on modeling, we favor scenarios in which chondrites contributed seven to eight oceans of hydrogen, and about 0.06 oceans of hydrogen was ingassed, unless Earth's core contains a significant amount of carbon (>1 wt %). Such models are consistent with about four to five oceans of hydrogen sequestered in the core, with D/H possibly as low as 120 × 10⁻⁶, and approximately three oceans of hydrogen in the mantle and surface, with D/H = 150 × 10⁻⁶.

The predicted existence of majority of Earth's hydrogen in its core has only a minor contribution to the observed density deficit of the core, a result consistent with the current knowledge of light elements in the core. Our conclusions are not overly sensitive to reasonable uncertainties in thermodynamic quantities governing hydrogen solubility in iron. We interpret the anomalously low solubilities measured by Clesi et al. (2018) to reflect the effect of carbon. Accounting for this effect and assuming <1 wt % carbon in Earth's core, we find not large differences compared to the case presented here.

Both ingassing of isotopically light hydrogen and isotopic fractionation of hydrogen as it is sequestered into the core provide an explanation for the low‐D/H material sampled by Hallis et al. (2015). Either the measurements are of solidified magma ocean material containing ingassed solar nebula hydrogen or they are of lower mantle material that has isotopically exchanged with the core. Testing our model and distinguishing between these scenarios will require the technically challenging measurements of the solubility of hydrogen into iron, and the isotopic fractionation factor, α, at high pressures. Firmer constraints on the bulk D/H ratios of various chondrites would also constrain the model.

Our model explains the reported solar compositions of hydrogen and noble gases in Earth's mantle. In particular, nebular ingassing through equilibration dissolution appears to be a viable mechanism to supply adequate amounts of ²²Ne and ³He for their terrestrial inventories, provided that the mass of magma ocean was no less than ~0.1 M_E. Extension to other noble gases would further test the model.

I don't pretend to understand all of this. But I do know that nebular ingassing will get you every time.

Enjoy!

The Water Report IMAR Article: 'Incentivized Managed Aquifer Recharge' - Basin Scale Implementation of MAR

This article by David R. Tuthill, Jr. and Ronald D. Carlson of the Recharge Development Corporation appeared in Issue #176 (15 October 2018) of The Water Report. Editor David Light granted me permission to post it here.

David Tuthill is a former director of the Idaho Department of Water Resources. I met him for the first time at a meeting of the Western States Water Council in Newport last August and we talked about the IMAR approach. It's intriguing although I have not yet delved into it in great detail. I need to think about its 'patentable' aspect.

Download Incentivized_MAR_TWR

Here is the introductory material.

Introduction

A process of Incentivized Managed Aquifer Recharge, utilizing ownership of marketable Aquifer Recharge Units is being implemented within Idaho’s Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer. A powerful tool in establishing balanced and sustainable aquifer management, the Incentivized Managed Aquifer Recharge program could have beneficial application in suitable water basins throughout the West.

Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) may be defined as processes designed to move water from land surface to aquifer storage. MAR has been conducted in various locations throughout the world since ancient times. Modern MAR efforts in the western United States have been frequently documented in The Water Report (see Recharge References below). Virtually all of these efforts, however, have been undertaken by or through a governmental entity (state or municipal), or by a private entity at a local scale involving one or just a few wells. The State of Arizona created a basin-wide opportunity for crediting recharge water but this system applies only in Arizona. While localized efforts in other basins have been implemented, to date they do not provide cost-effective incentivized solutions at a basin scale.

The Recharge Development Corporation (RDC) is an Idaho corporation created for the purpose of developing infrastructure, processes, and strategies that will facilitate water retention projects to benefit residents and water users in the State of Idaho.

RDC is helping incentivize Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer entities to be involved in MAR through the application of Incentivized Managed Aquifer Recharge (patent-pending).

Incentivized Managed Aquifer Recharge (IMAR) includes the following seven concepts:

1) Ownership of Aquifer Recharge Units (ARUs) that are fungible, have value, can be bought and sold and are directly analogous to the space acquired in a surface reservoir

2) MAR volumes are measured and the measured volumes are allocated to ARUs which each represent one acre-foot of virtual space in an aquifer, and are fully tracked

3) Real-time measurements of MAR volumes are based on surface water flow measurements. The evacuation of ARU storage generally relates to a pumped volume attributed to the ARU holder

4) Water allocated to owned ARUs becomes available to enable pumping. When the ability to pump under other established water rights would otherwise not be available, allocated ARU storage can be withdrawn and used as a supplemental water supply — in the same manner in which surface storage credited to the space of a reservoir space holder is used to supplement a surface water right (entitlement) to divert natural stream flow

5) Canal companies are commonly non-profit corporations created to distribute allocated water supplies to the stockholders of the company. Similarly, a local non-profit organization that is owned and operated by ARU owners is established under state law to accomplish long-term management of the ARUs and associated MAR within a basin

6) The ARUs are associated on a one-to-one basis with the shares of stock in the local non-profit corporation

7) Specific MAR allocation protocols that are similar to an allocation priority are applied to certain ARUs based on the date of acquisition of the shares

An eighth concept that is being investigated and discussed but has not yet been achieved is to treat a local aquifer as an additional reservoir that is fully integrated with the surface reservoirs in a basin. Implementation of this concept is a work in progress.

This article provides an overview of the unique IMAR process. From its genesis, a group of Idaho water users, lawyers, engineers and technical experts developed the operational concepts and legal approach for a defensible and robust IMAR program. The article discusses: ARUs; municipal applications; ground water district applications; tribal opportunities; and costs. The existing implementation in the Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer in Idaho is described. Criteria for other eligible basins are listed. The result is a case for application of these concepts in other basins throughout the western United States and internationally. 

Cutting to the chase.....

Conclusion

The principals of RDC have spent eight years developing the concepts and techniques described in this paper, to provide for implementation of Incentivized Managed Aquifer Recharge. The system is now operational in one basin, with movements toward starting the process in many others. These processes provide opportunities for implementation of conjunctive management and for additional beneficial use of water in the spirit of western water law. The principals look forward to assisting others with implementation of these concepts.

Happy and sad time at the AWRA meeting in Baltimore. Executive Vice President Ken Reid will be retiring after 37 years at the helm. He's seated next to spouse Patricia Reid, who has somehow maintained her sanity and good humor after being our conference goddess. She will also be leaving, as will the inimitable Jacque Towner (third from left in the back) who herds cats as our office manager.
