Thanks @freshwaterscience.bsky.social for featuring our recent work on suspended river algae dynamics applying sediment transport hysteresis theory to stream ecosystem ecology. More fun #transdiciplinary #covergent science from our team at the Stroud Water Research Center @stroudcenter.bsky.social.
Great work by @marcpeipoch.bsky.social, @riverscience.bsky.social, and #ScottEnsign!

Where does suspended algae come from? These authors use concentration–discharge (C–Q) relationships to find out. Check out the latest publication in #FreshwaterScience

From Freshwater Science, this Open Access article investigates the patterns that impact benthic and planktonic contributions to river algae fluxes through an analysis of chlorophyll concentration-discharge relationships. Read more here: ow.ly/Ze7Y50Wk1Xl @freshwaterscience.bsky.social

My colleague Diana Oviedo @stroudcenter.bsky.social and I are working on PFAS fate and transport from sludge treated ag fields to freshwater ecosystems. Her recent paper is featured in today's @nytimes.com. Great work, Diana!

🚨 Breaking: NSF faces radical shake-up as officials abolish its 37 divisions

1️⃣ Removes/demotes division director leaders

2️⃣ Forced layoff notices to NSF staff going out tonight

3️⃣ More grant terminations expected tomorrow

One glimmer of hope: the 8 directorates appear to be staying

January 27–31 is Winter Salt Week, and Stroud Water Research Center is leading the charge in the mid-Atlantic region.

You can order a free Freshwater Test Kit to
measure chloride levels in a local stream, lake, or river and contribute to our research.
