My collaborator @anthonydn is looking for a PhD student to work on CrustNet in 2025. This is an awesome opportunity for students interested in ecology, globally distributed experiments, and soils. Go to https://t.co/emXxCYfTlH for more information.

[Anthony Darrouzet-Nardi @anthonydn]

I'll be at ESA next week and am looking to connect with prospective Ph.D. students (you or someone you know!) We have funded opportunities between our Dryland Critical Zone project and the soon-to-launch CrustNet! See https://t.co/zKsSSNW84a for more details and get in touch!

[Anthony Darrouzet-Nardi @anthonydn]

Congrats to M.S. graduate Lindsey Dacey who finished a great thesis, and to Matthew Jones who finished his B.S. with honors! It has been awesome having both of these students in our lab for the last several years!

[Lixin Jin @Jin_DrylandCZ]

Happy faces after three hours of group presentations and discussions on our work at the Ivey orchard, perfect for the #FaceOfScience day. @SciencesUtep @DrylandCZ @anthonydn @LinMa15 @jmochoar3 @MargueriteMau

@NMClimate I visited this yesterday on a field trip led by @swsalley Really cool and informative!

[Anthony Darrouzet-Nardi @anthonydn]

We had some great conversations with national lab folks and it was fun to say hi to @aaberhe and see her leading the pack!

[UTEPPresident @UTEPPresident]

Our students and faculty had a chance to share their work today with the directors of national laboratories and the @doescience. Thank you all for visiting UTEP and exploring deeper partnerships with the @HSRUalliance!

[Kalpana Kukreja @KalpKukreja]

I am truly honored and thrilled to be selected as an @EMSLscience Exploratory Research awardee! Looking forward to exciting collaborations with the EMSL team! Special thanks to my advisor @anthonydn for the support and guidance! @UTEP @DrylandCZ

We are doing a search for a department chair (Biological Sciences @UTEP), and I am serving on the search committee. Please see the ad and send it to anyone who might be interested. Reach out if you have questions. https://t.co/rq1B8vyuaB @college

@txdotelp The one with the cloud sculpture at UTEP is a big exception. I see a crash every few weeks there (and those are just the ones I see). I have been hit myself by someone failing to yield. I heard that it is the intersection with the third most crashes in the city.

[Anthony Darrouzet-Nardi @anthonydn]

@INSTAAR @EcohydroJFK @CUAHSI Mark was on my Ph.D. committee and was active in helping me develop ideas and collaborations. The paper we published based on that work had some neat stuff in it. I didn't know him as personally as many others, but he was a great scientist and mentor to me early in my career.

[Anthony Darrouzet-Nardi @anthonydn]

@SoilEcologyAZ @ashish_a_malik @jpschimel I think about this amazing project sometimes, and probably we need more people doing what she did and less of us frantically generating more data! https://t.co/xE1EtiyYJ2

I enjoyed a one-nighter in the Gila Wilderness over the weekend. Even over Memorial Day with nice weather, once I got off the river trail I saw exactly no one. It was great! In the picture are some neat white rocks I was hiking toward.

[Anthony Darrouzet-Nardi @anthonydn]

Congrats AYSO region 272 U10 champs - Coach James and the Knights!

[Lixin Jin @Jin_DrylandCZ]

Huge congratulations to Valeria Molina, Briana Salcido, and Viri Orona for receiving their MS degrees @UTEP @SciencesUtep. Their projects have improved our understandings of soil CO2 production and transport in natural and managed @DrylandCZ! @anthonydn

[Anthony Darrouzet-Nardi @anthonydn]

Congrats to Viridiana Orona and Briana Salcido on completing their M.S. degrees and Dr. Jane Martinez on her Ph.D.!! @UTEP @utepscience @DrylandCZ

[Anthony Darrouzet-Nardi @anthonydn]

I was really pleased to get this paper out there on nutrient dynamics at our @DrylandCZ field site! It was based on data originally collected by REUs working with Jennie McLaren and myself. There are some neat shrub island effects and nitrate stuck out as behaving differently.

[Ecosphere @ESAEcosphere]

From our Ecology of #CriticalZones track:

In the Chihuahuan Desert, "resource islands" around shrubs remain relatively high in nutrients & microbial activity - even during wet periods

@hormiga There is this nice paper that may help if you have not already come across it. It's consistent with what you observe. https://t.co/yz8lwfehX4

Dryland CZ deep sonic drilling at the Red Lake Playa in @TheJornada
It was fun to be a part of the sampling team for the 100 m soil cores!
@anthonydn @LinMa15 Dr.Mark_Engle @Jin_DrylandCZ @DrylandCZ @UTEP

[Lixin Jin @Jin_DrylandCZ]

Sonic drilling at the Ag site, TX @DrylandCZ to understand the recharge during irrigation and mobility of salts, nutrients and metals. @LinMa15 @anthonydn

[Anthony Darrouzet-Nardi @anthonydn]

Prepping for drilling 50-100 m cores over the next week to characterize our dryland critical zone pecan orchard and playa sites @DrylandCZ @LinMa15 @UTEP
