On Monday 12/7, hear the latest findings by @uricels and @URIGSO researchers on #nitrogen -removing #septicsystems, #groundwater, and storms, and how this collectively affects our #waterquality in Southern Rhode Island.
Contact @AlissaHCox for more information.

Next Monday! Hear what @AlissaHCox @b04carpediem @mattydowling have to say about their research on #nitrogen -removing #septicsystems, #groundwater & #storms in southern #RhodeIsland @uricels @universityofri https://t.co/V6R1V7WGUS

Great story about URI scientists (@panthijeeban @H2O_Soni) assessing saltwater intrusion into well water in RI! https://t.co/h5WFxBGDUu

@panthijeeban You've got this!

[Metcalf Institute @MetcalfURI]

My research discovered that coastal ground #watertables are rising much faster than #sealevel is. We need to design better infrastructure and policies that serve us better in the long run.” @uricels @AlissaHCox to #MetcalfAWJ fellows. #WomeninSTEM #UndergroundInfrastructure

[Alissa Cox @AlissaHCox]

Working on my plan today

Congratulations to CELS Professor Dr. Michelle Peach, who has just received the prestigious Rising Star Award from the @Society4ConBio!
She has been recognized for her studies on the impact of climate and habitat changes on #birdpopulations and #biodiversity.

Time flies! Another paper published on #coastal #septicsystems #modeling their vulnerability to #coastalhazards ... Let's start thinking about the next event and how we can #prepare our #coastalcommunities for the aftermath! https://t.co/4CQgWMbctB

Throw back to 4/20/18 and the installation of the main layered soil treatment area I studied for my PhD. The best part about this picture is that @AlissaHCox and I are both pregnant #WasteManagement #PhDone #onsitewastewater #pregnantfieldwork @URISoilMicro @MASSTC_CapeCod

[Jose Amador @URISoilMicro]

Congratulationss to @sarawigginton & @b04carpediem who who each successfully defended their dissertation in a PhD defense double-header yesterday morning! Watch out, science world! #WomenInSTEM #wastewater #greenhousegases #septicsystem #microbialecology 💃🍾🎉🙋‍♀️🧪🦠💩 @uricels

[Alissa Cox @AlissaHCox]

Lovely uplifting music by the #ChorusofWesterly - thank you for sharing!
I needed this today. https://t.co/ra34kX7uGr

[Alissa Cox @AlissaHCox]

Excited that my paper describing "Temporal variability in the vertical #separationdistance of #septicsystem #drainfields along the southern #RhodeIsland coast" is available online! Glad this has already begun to spark important conversations... https://t.co/3Pe7gEq7yU

[Alissa Cox @AlissaHCox]

@creekthinker @URISoilMicro Nailed that assessment of Jose, Caroline! Best advisor EVER.

[Alissa Cox @AlissaHCox]

My contribution to science: #researchbread and #researchcupcakes ! The cupcakes represent #septicsystemdrainfields with surprise groundwater table elevations! The focaccia represents an experimental layered #nonproprietary passive #Nremoving drainfield. #PhDdefense #researchcake

@panthijeeban @URISoilMicro I'm hoping it was for a VERY EXCITING reason and that congrats are in order?!
