Join us Mon 2/26 @ 12pm in the WATER Institute (ISE 108) for our first brown bag research presentation of 2024! Dr. @TeresaBarazaP will present "Geologic, hydrologic, and land use controls on microplastic contamination in karst springs." Bring your lunch and inquiring minds!

[WATER Institute at Saint Louis University @slu_water]

Dewey and the rest of the team at the WATER Institute wish you and yours a healthy and happy holiday season. 💙 See you in 2024!

[SLU School of Science and Engineering @SLU_SSE]

Physics students from SLPS's Collegiate School of Medicine and Bioscience spent time in our Aviation Science, @SLU_WATER Institute, and Physics labs on Monday learning about ways their physics lessons have numerous applications in these areas!

@JasonKnouft, faculty researcher with @slu_water, @SLUBiology, @NGRREC and @SLUResearch, shares his expertise on how climate change is impacting the Mississippi River in a @guardian article about drinking water challenges in Louisiana: https://t.co/GwxYApJu1o

On 9/29, the WATER Institute participated in @NGRREC's 2023 Water Festival which hosted over 900 fifth graders from across the region! We loved teaching students about #microplastics in #water sources, and Dewey had a great time making new friends!

[SLU Research @SLUResearch]

Great story on @SLU_Official research!

Elizabeth Hasenmueller, associate prof of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences and associate dir of @slu_water, and students found microplastic pollution in a cave system that hasn't had human visitors for 30 years!

@slu_water Associate Director Liz Hasenmueller, Ph.D., is leading research on the presence of microplastics in water resources, including cave systems. Thanks, @stlpublicradio, for highlighting @SLUResearch in water!

[St. Louis Public Radio @stlpublicradio]

Researchers at @slu_water wanted to see if microplastics can still be found in a cave system without human presence.

The answer is yes. The team discovered microplastics in large numbers in both water and sediment in the Cliff Cave in St. Louis County. https://t.co/7LuU2OJrAL

@JasonKnouft, Ph.D., a Primary Investigator with the WATER Institute, and Susan Armstrong, P.E., a member of the Missouri Safe Drinking Water Commission, shared their thoughts on St. Louis drinking water infrastructure on last night's @ksdknews broadcast: https://t.co/3Kg0vqEq1h

WATER Institute Primary Investigator, @JasonKnouft, Ph.D., and Director of Business and Outreach, Rachel Rimmerman, were quoted in this @CNN story about drinking water infrastructure and climate change in St. Louis! Read the full story:

These five cities could be one natural disaster away from a catastrophic water crisis. https://t.co/vo4qEzu1Ny

Welcome (back), new and returning @SLU_Official students! We can't wait to dive into the new academic year with you! Our @slu_water director Dr. Cox is starting the #Fall2023 semester with a splash in her @SLU_Civil #hydraulics modeling course in @SLU_SSE 🌊

[WATER Institute at Saint Louis University @slu_water]

This week, we got to host two @SLU_SSE summer camp groups of high school students from #STL and across the country to explore #water #research in the lab and in the field! We had so much fun and hope to see everyone back at @SLU_Official soon! #STEM #SummerAtSLU

[WATER Institute at Saint Louis University @slu_water]

After a flood washed away our auto-sampling instrument, a multiparameter sonde used to analyze #water quality, we thought it was lost forever. Yesterday the #research team found it after weeks of searching! And it was collecting data the whole time! What a way to end the week!✨

Are #microplastics in our drinking water? Check out this lead story from @ksdknews featuring WATER Institute primary investigator @JasonKnouft and a study implemented by @MOWaterkeeper to learn more:

[KSDK News @ksdknews]

We drink it every day, often without a second thought. But should we think more about what’s in it? https://t.co/3XzjHEN2mp

Thank you @iSCORE25 for giving us the opportunity to teach about water and micro plastics during the Saturday Stem camp! Also big thanks to @CarlyFinegan and @natfhernandez for teaching the students!

@kaleenamenke @MenkeLLC @Justmomsstl Thank you for joining the Summit!

[WATER Institute at Saint Louis University @slu_water]

A big thanks to everyone that came out for the @OpenSpaceSTL Trash Bash on April 8th! We appreciate everyone's hard work in cleaning up the watershed. #passport2cleanwater
