Great day for coastal #fieldwork
We are monitoring plots across a barrier island @vcrlter - several plots have been lost to island migration and others buried in a meter of sand! Long term research allows us to follow dynamic change @DrewbyOutdoors
Check out our newest paper in @PLOSONE "Plant community re-organization and increased productivity due to multi-year nutrient enrichment of a coastal grassland" @ecolojoe@vcrlter https://t.co/mj98ToqQs4
It's up!
I'm pretty happy with the final product here. In short, we show how analysis can be used to get a detailed understanding of species turnover after prolonged nutrient enrichment treatments. Had fun making these figures!

Researchers from @VIMS_News, @VCU, and the @ArmyERDC recently planned their upcoming study of how beach nourishment on the #OuterBanks impacts the resilience of constructed and natural sand dunes. Learn more at https://t.co/BnE78YtdoA
@DrewbyOutdoors have a fantastic presentation and successfully defended his master’s thesis representing an amazing amount of work on a collaborative dune effort! Congratulations Master Drew!

We are still seeking research support staff. We have a great team, and the seaside is a beautiful place to work.
Field logistics, safety, research support...
We are casting a broad net and simply looking for the best fit.

#BarrierIslands can be found around the world, but Virginia’s barrier #islands are part of one of the largest stretches of coastal wilderness on the East #Coast. How much do you know about them? Test your knowledge in the #TriviaTuesday thread below:
We have a new preprint looking at road networks on 72 US Atlantic and Gulf barrier islands.
Led by @SofiAldabet & w/ @envidynxlab, and available on @EarthArXiv .
