A University of Oregon-led team estimated that at least 81 cubic kilometers of water are stored in the subsurface volcanic rock of Oregon's Cascade Range. [^1]

Patrick Herbert was signed by the Los Angeles Chargers to their practice squad. [^2]

Leif Karlstrom, a geosciences professor at the University of Oregon, led the research team that analyzed temperature data from decades-old geothermal drill holes. [^3]

The estimated volume of water in the Oregon Cascades is nearly three times the full capacity of Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States. [^4]

Patrick Herbert previously played for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2025 after going undrafted in the NFL Draft. [^5]

Patrick Herbert will reunite with his brother Justin Herbert on the Los Angeles Chargers roster for the first time since 2019. [^6]

The peer review process is experiencing strain due to rising submission volumes and a shortage of qualified reviewers. [^9]

The ReviewGrounder system divides the review task into three specialized stages: a Review Drafter, three grounding agents, and a Review Aggregator. [^10]

The study indicates that the hidden water reservoir could help regulate streamflow and provide drought resilience through slow drainage from the volcanic aquifer. [^11]

Patrick Herbert played 41 games over three seasons at the University of Oregon, recording 31 receptions, 388 yards, and four touchdowns. [^12]
