Big shoutout to our research group (including @kjmcguire @jennyspatial @Stephquioxides @SwbaileyFs ) and a huge thank you for the support @NSF @USLTER @globalchangevt and our internal @USDA_NRCS_SPSD reviewers.

New paper out! Here, we explore how catchment characteristics and soil saturation behavior influence the spatial variation in base cation fluxes, likely reflecting how subsurface flow dynamics impacts soil development.

Using a combination of shallow groundwater wells and ion-exchange resins we measured water table fluctuations, elemental fluxes, and soil weathering extent. Soil saturation frequency was highly and positively correlated with cation fluxes and the degree of elemental depletion.

I am excited to share our latest publication on mesofauna's roles in litter decomposition and mineralization across a Nothofagus forest degradation gradient. Fresh from the oven! https://t.co/qU3hWOOR0z

And another beauty.... volcanic soil over some very meteorized metamorphic parent material near #huerquehue #chile national park.... with what it looks like a giant cat claw marks

BREAKING NEWS: USDA releases updated Plant Hardiness Zone Map. The 2023 map is more accurate, detailed, and incorporates data from 13,412 weather stations versus 7,983 used for the 2012 version—a 68 percent increase in these stations. https://t.co/EsjojzHHOM

Downloading some of the new #ArcticDEM data for enhancing our abrupt thaw mapping models... couldn't help but to stop and take a 👀 at few rivers.
