Our work with NASA Blueflux and others, led by Cheryl Doughty, upscaling CO2 and CH4 fluxes in the Everglades, is published! Check out the paper and see how management and climate are impacting C fluxes across South Florida!

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences@pnas.org · 8mo ago

Wetlands can be carbon sinks or sources, depending on management strategies. A study of CO2 and methane fluxes in the Everglades highlights the role of freshwater flows in minimizing methane emissions and the power of mangroves to store carbon. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/tfIn50Yl7yN

25 years after it was launched, the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan is still a work in progress, with real progress made but much left to do. Check out VoteWater’s Deep Dive on what’s been achieved and what’s still ahead. Read more: https://ow.ly/4Ni450Y9kYN

DEEP DIVE: 25 years on, CERP is restoring the Everglades. But will it be enough? - VoteWater.org

The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan is often described as a massive effort to “get the water right.” Unfortunately, CERP isn’t going to “get the water right” right away. On Dec. 11, 2000, President Bill Clinton signed the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration…

After nearly a month process between written and oral exams, I can say that officially I am a PhD candidate!

Our fantastic undergrad, Rene, presenting his poster at URCA on the interaction of LAI and soil respiration in longleaf pine forests! @starrlab.bsky.social

Big CONGRATS to @kacizarek.bsky.social!!! Her new paper is out in @agu.org's JGR-B! The paper has a little bit of everything -- N biogeochemistry, intermittent stream hydrology, concentration-connectivity relationships! Check it out here: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

With winds coming from the NW today in South FL, this could continue to spread towards the coast.

Miami-Dade County brush fire surpasses Southern California's Palisades Fire in size, Florida Forest Service numbers show

The massive brush fire​ that has been burning in southern Miami-Dade County has now grown bigger than the Palisades Fire of California that captured national headlines earlier this year.

Wildfire in Southeast Everglades/Card Sound Rd area is getting close to flux tower site US-Evm. This was taken from our phenocam system this afternoon.

Microbes that naturally occur in soils can capture methane leaking from decommissioned oil and gas wells, new #AGUpubs study reports. Soils could be used as a nature-based solution for methane mitigation, the findings suggest. Read the study: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

🥞THIS FRIDAY: Come out to the Math & Science Building for some homemade pancakes and to speak with your BGSA officers!

Is your NSF grant on this list? Reach out if so! Ted Cruz released a list of grants flagged for DEI or "neo-Marxist class warfare propaganda" from his Oct. report. NSF is using keywords from that report for their review, though Cruz's list is likely larger. www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/2/cruz-...

hello all - has anyone heard anything about NSF postdocs or GRFPs getting their February stipends today? 🧪

David Yannick@dyannick.bsky.social · 2y ago

Weird, #5 on the FAQ section no longer reflects what you have from earlier this weekend. No specifics regarding GRFP

The National Science Foundation cancelled over 60 grant review panels today, effectively grinding funding of new projects to a halt. The so-far indefinite pause comes as NSF grapples with the impact Trump's executive orders will have on their grantmaking process. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

National Science Foundation freezes grant review in response to Trump executive orders

The National Science Foundation has cancelled all grant review panels this week. It's unclear how long the pause could last.
