We are a member of FreshwaterH2O of @cu-esiil.bsky.social. We made the projects forward through team building, working together, and many discussions. We sometimes create dataset, analyze data, discuss the results, go hiking, and grab chocolate. This week was so productive!

Calling all #Chaoborus people! Can anyone help me confirm that this is Chaoborus flavicans? Samples collected from ponds in France. I have more photos as well if that would help!

Microplastics are in Lake Champlain and in us. These scientists want to know their source
Researchers on Lake Champlain are doubling down on years of research to try to figure out how tiny pieces of toxic plastic are getting into the lake, which serves some 200,000 people with drinking wat...

Information provided by GLOS supports the regional marine economy, improves forecasts, and supports decision-making and nearshore safety for countless stakeholders. Cutting or reducing funding would have wide-ranging impacts on Great Lakes communities’ economies and safety.

I brought two reporters from the local paper along on a buoy deployment cruise last week. Here's a piece from this weekend in our local paper about the impact of federal funding cuts on Great Lakes science and safety:

Proposed NOAA cuts put Great Lakes research, safety at risk, experts say
A White House budget proposal would slash funding for Minnesota and Wisconsin Sea Grants, Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve, Great Lakes Observing System and others.

Hello bluesky world! 🦋 Finally making the jump from twitter (should have done this a while ago). I’m a PhD student at the University of Vermont, USA studying freshwater zooplankton ecology and behavior, specifically drivers and ecosystem impacts of zooplankton diel vertical migration (DVM) behavior.
