A new study by researchers at @unc-ie.bsky.social examined two rapidly growing coastal regions and found that water quality patterns and processes varied between them—highlighting the importance of managing water quality in developing coastal areas. Read more: go.unc.edu/Hm7e3

It was a great week in the field and lab working to understand nutrient dynamics across urban and natural landscapes. Big thanks to Avery and the Public Works team for their help doing this research—and for carrying carboys full of swamp water! @unc-ie.bsky.social

New article in Coastwatch highlighting our work on nitrogen removal by urban landscapes during storms. Big thanks to Emma for writing it! Open access paper at doi.org/10.5194/nhes...

Storm characteristics influence nitrogen removal in an urban estuarine environment

Abstract. Sustaining water quality is an important component of coastal resilience. Floodwaters deliver reactive nitrogen (including NOx) to sensitive aquatic systems and can diminish water quality. C...

New research on managing coastal nitrogen pollution by @unc-ie.bsky.social's @annesmiley.bsky.social @mpiehler.bsky.social featured in NC Sea Grant's Coastwatch. Read it here 🔽 ncseagrant.ncsu.edu/coastwatch/w...

New paper in JEQ! We examined water quality and sediment nitrogen removal in two chronically enriched coastal systems. We found that environmental context—particularly tidal vs riverine influence—is important for both. doi.org/10.1002/jeq2... @mpiehler.bsky.social @unc-emes.bsky.social
