Article about recent paper by Professor Peter Doran and others about Blood Falls in Antarctica
Dr. Peter Doran@icedoctord.bsky.social · 8mo agoFun little paper we published last month got picked up by earth.com. The author got it mostly right. There was no press release so he seemed to go above and beyond and read the paper and some citations in it and used references. Nice work. #scicomm 🧪 www.earth.com/news/antarct...
New paper by our Professor Carol Wilson in Nature Comms shows how ecogeomorphic feedbacks control elevation change in Louisiana’s coastal wetlands. This is key to predicting resilience under sea-level rise and improving restoration strategies. www.nature.com/articles/s41... @lsuscience.bsky.social
