So grateful and excited to officially have NSF support to investigate how cryptic and/or chemosynthetic carbon contributes to stream productivity! Here's our upcoming work: amandadelvecchia.weebly.com/lab-news AND an amazing PhD student opportunity 😀 amandadelvecchia.weebly.com/join-the-lab...

NSF's grantmaking is miserly when compared to recent years, but when compared it to the historical record, we see it's a radical break from the long-term consensus of investing in scientific innovation. grant-witness.us/posts/2026-0... #NSF 🧪

The NSF is on Track for its Worst Year in Generations – Grant Witness

Throttling of science funding is utterly unprecedented and radical when compared to the past 50 years.

Why has woody plant density been increasing in dryland ecosystems? In a new paper in @pnas.org we show that increasing tree density in pinyon-juniper woodlands could largely be a result of long-term population growth, rather than recent anthropogenic effects. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Did NOT see this coming!! Analysis of 2.9M rivers globally finds that, on avg 1984-2018, streamflow increased in headwaters & declined in downstream sections (1.7 times more upstream increases found than declines; ~4 times more downstream declines than increases). www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1...

More flow upstream and less flow downstream: The changing form and function of global rivers

We mapped daily streamflow from 1984 to 2018 in approximately 2.9 million rivers to assess recent changes to global river systems. We found that river outlets were dominated by significant decreases i...
