Want to think more about winter this summer?
Check out Dr. Noelle Patterson’s and my talk about snow, mountain streams and water quality in the #TahoeBasin at @TaylorCreekVC this Friday!

Spot the difference!

Blackwood creek (West shore, Lake Tahoe) and Glenbrook creek (East shore, Lake Tahoe) during February (photo 1) and March (photo 3) vs July (photo 2 + 4). We are excited to compare seasonal stream dynamics with the crazy snowpack we received! @KellyALoria

Excited to share nearshore metabolism estimates from Lake Tahoe Thursday (poster number 525) as a part of SS049 Resilience on Ice https://t.co/fh5zxltY2V #aslo2023 thanks to
@jrblasz @heili_lowman @jasmineakrause Rob Miller and Dr. Sudeep Chandra! @UNRLakeTahoe @NRESnevada

[Kelly Loria @KellyALoria]

This wild winter snowpack will make for some exciting #laketahoe nearshore productivity dynamics. We are already seeing some serious erosion on both east and west shores. ⁦@unrcabnr⁩ ⁦@jrblasz⁩ ⁦@heili_lowman⁩ ⁦@jasmineakrause⁩

Smoke from the #MosquitoFire crept into the #LakeTahoe Basin along the west shore yesterday. Large ash deposits were actually falling on @jasmineakrause and me. Could have some interesting N and P additions in these nearshore water samples 🧪@unrcabnr

@ZachStGeorge These direct quotes are too much 😂.

[Kelly Loria @KellyALoria]

Pretty fun to talk about our UNR’s local lake with the incoming students.

[Natural Resources & Environmental Science @NRESnevada]

NRES wraps up a successful CABNRfit week! Our new students are ready and excited for the fall semester! CABNRfit helps students transition from high school to college courses and meet their new peers through lectures and hands on activities.

Trout creek roughly one year post #CaldorFire. There still is a surprising amount of ash on the stream banks…

[Kelly Loria @KellyALoria]

Thanks #JASM22 for all the amazing aquatic science! Very excited to apply some new nitrogen cycle measurements here at Tahoe and talk about them next year! @BenthosNews #freshwaterdownunder #visitBrisbane

[Kelly Loria @KellyALoria]

Come chat with me about stream carbon and nitrogen cycling in the Tahoe basin Wednesday 5:30-7pm #JASM22 @BenthosNews check out other @jrblasz lab members tonight! @NRESnevada

[Joanna Blaszczak @jrblasz]

Please come to the poster session tonight and on Wednesday night to check out all the fun science being led by @MeredithBrehob @KellyALoria @heili_lowman & #KeenanSeto (see slide above for times/location)!!

[Kelly Loria @KellyALoria]

Congratulations Aidan!

A scene from our summer of SCUBA science to mode nearshore productivity in Lake Tahoe. @jrblasz @heili_lowman and I are getting excited for our spring data download dives!

[Kelly Loria @KellyALoria]

Come join @heili_lowman, @jrblasz and me to work on a variety of watershed ecology questions! Feel free to reach out with questions!

[Joanna Blaszczak @jrblasz]

We are searching for an REU student and an aquatic field and lab technician to start this summer! See details here: https://t.co/ftbV8aEUQY

We will start reviewing applications on March 21st. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Heartbreakingly dry January here in the Tahoe Basin….especially after a December this deep…

[Colin McCarthy @US_Stormwatch]

This January will go down as one of the driest in history in both California and Nevada.

Both Reno and Fresno will for the first time ever record no precipitation in January since records began over 130 years ago in the 1880s. #CAwx

[Kelly Loria @KellyALoria]

And still more snow forecasted for next week!

[UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab @UCB_CSSL]

NEW DECEMBER RECORD: 193.7"

With a 24 hour official #snow total of 38.9" at the lab, we have smashed the previous record of 179" of snow in December set in 1970!

Snow rates are still heavy and we could even break the 200" mark today!

Great visualizations!

So great to get University of Nevada Reno interdisciplinary geophysical students together #AGU21 @CABNR @UnrGeography @EECB_UNR @DRIScience @unevadareno @nevada_water

[Kelly Loria @KellyALoria]

Come chat about stream productivity today! #AGU21

Really excited to start modeling near shore productivity in Lake Tahoe with @jrblasz. Here are some moments from Nevada Day dives last Friday!

[Kelly Loria @KellyALoria]

@bkhobart12 @wildtype_wm @_tarasite_ @AnimalEcology @tmcdevittgalles Just so happy it worked out!
