Our newest publication on the water quality benefits of wetland protection and restoration across the U.S. is out! A spatially targeted 10% increase in US wetland area could double wetland N removal, providing significant water quality benefits. https://t.co/yp9q37Swv1

A new study by an interdisciplinary team from Penn State reveals that microplastics have been accumulating in freshwater environments for decades, closely linked to the surge in global plastic production since the 1950s. https://t.co/HWJDblLSoz

Microplastics increasing in freshwater, directly related to plastic production: Civil and environmental engineers find tie between plastic production and microplastic levels

“We must not allow unelected, green activists to weaponize lawsuits to force woke mandates, hurt farmers, or threaten cities that are working hard to keep drinking water clean” - We’ve arrived…wanting clean water is woke. https://t.co/jHtteESuTc

The U.S. and China account for 40% of global nitrogen fertilizer use & 45% of agricultural N₂O emissions. Today, we release the Hangzhou Joint Statement, calling for stronger collaboration to curb N₂O emissions and address nitrogen management challenges. https://t.co/BJviy00s5s

Academics will have a 2 hour conversation about how busy they both are that ends in them agreeing to co-write something new

🔎We used sediment fingerprinting to crack the case of #beaverdam vs #beaverdamanalogs sediment sources

Results? Beaver dam sediment originates from different & more diverse sources than BDAs due to🦫action!

Ecologist speaking calmly: if you pump groundwater from a drinking water aquifer for cooling data center shit and it evaporates, becomes a cloud, drifts away, and rains into the sea, you have in effect USED UP WATER. Begging everyone to learn the water cycle taught in 7th grade.

Usually I don’t talk about stuff like this because frankly it happens way too often. But not today…

As I pulled into the same faculty parking lot that I park in all the time @msstate, a white woman was coming out of my office building. Her car was parked next to the space I pulled into.

Congratulations to @PSUEMS Barnes and Evan Pugh Professor Susan Brantley on being selected as a Distinguished Daughter of Pennsylvania, here with First Lady Lori Shapiro as she received the distinction.

[Boyce Upholt @BoyceUpholt]

The stories coming out of Western NC remind so much of thae 1927 Flood. We decided back then that disaster was justification for completely ensnaring the Mississippi in infrastructure. How about we decide this one is cause for addressing climate change?

I can’t explain it but this image makes me want to go to a conference where people exchange tiny posters with QR codes on the back to the full poster

A team of clinical and academic researchers at The University of Toledo are embarking on a first-of-its kind study to identify the health effects of airborne microcystin exposure in individuals who spend significant time near Lake Erie.
