At #AGU25, we stopped by to talk with LDEO PhD student Linnea Norton about her research on mangrove forests and how their ability to store carbon is most accurately estimated for the purposes of "blue carbon" credits. ➡️ Lamont at AGU25: https://lamont.columbia.edu/agu25

"Conventional plants strip ammonia through biological nitrification–denitrification or air stripping and precipitate phosphorus chemically or biologically. Those pathways remove nutrients to hit discharge limits; they don’t necessarily recover them." 🌐🧪
Electrons, Membranes, and Fertilizer: Bioelectrochemistry’s Practical Path to Closing the Nutrient Loop
On a late shift at a wastewater plant, the place hums like a grounded starship: pumps thrum, electrodes glow, microbes eat and exhale, and pipes carry a familiar urban tide.

AGU25 Poster SY11D-0564: Only a handful of utilities actually reduce water costs in a meaningful way. Better funding, simpler rules, and required public reporting would help close this “water affordability gap.”

Did you just have a long delayed flight to #AGU25 ?
Are you awaiting your first sip of coffee?
What better way to kick off AGU than to stop by poster 1134 and talk roots!
I may not be the only root doctor in NOLA, but I might be the chattiest 🤷♂️
