#watershedwednesday We investigate the impact of incorporating the variable bioavailability of OM, among other potential factors, on enhancing the model prediction and representation of OM degradation. https://t.co/zIgVJOMA9Q @PNNLab @ENERGY @WHONDRS

To study both the physical and biogeochemical responses of the groundwater/surface water interaction zone to stage dynamics, a comprehensive array of 66 aquifer tubes was installed... Read more: https://t.co/MLFJoNNL7z #WatershedWednesday @PNNLab @ENERGY

Very excited to be presenting my first poster at #ESA2023 later today about #wildfire impacts on a semi-arid watershed. This week has been an amazing experience! @PNNLab #PNNLSBRSFA #watershedwednesday

[Morgan Barnes @Morgan_E_Barnes]

Are you at #ESA2023 and interested in #phosphorus and #wildfire? If so, then come check out my talk Wednesday, 4:00, room B116! #doe #PNNLSBRSFA

[Jake Cavaiani @CavaianiJake]

@vszavoico Very excited to follow all your findings as they come out 🦫

@queenofpeat @ArcticWebb Cooler Barbie has been a staple in the Harms lab for many generations @BioGeoJacob….glad to see it branching out to explore peat with @ArcticWebb

The Schneider Springs fire burned in 2021 but you can already see understory recovering. Wildfires can drastically alter hydrological responses within watersheds. #PNNL researchers such as myself are out in WA investigating how wildfires influence stream metabolism #PNNLRCSFA

[Jake Cavaiani @CavaianiJake]

Can you tell which is the reference vs. the burn site based on the stream characteristics? Having a better understanding of how wildfires influence stream chemistry will better inform management efforts to protect these ecosystems. With @Morgan_E_Barnes #PNNLRCSFA #DOE

[Jake Cavaiani @CavaianiJake]

Snowmelt is in full effect here in Washington. Thorp Creek, shown here, is a reference site in our greater field sampling campaign researching the effects of the Schneider Springs fire that occurred in 2021 on watersheds in the PNW. All fun with @Morgan_E_Barnes #PNNLRCSFA #DOE

@LifesJustPeaty Would love to see updates as it gets dirtier. My field backpacks aren’t the cleanest and having a progression from field season to field season would be hilarious 🎒

[Sebastian Zavoico @vszavoico]

Super proud of and excited for @CavaianiJake who defended his impressive Masters today. Love learning about stream biogeochemistry (but we've gotta work on your whole "streams as pipes" mentality....) and implications of permafrost thaw and wildfires on C and N cycling!

[Jake Cavaiani @CavaianiJake]

@vszavoico Thanks for you support!🏞️

[Jake Cavaiani @CavaianiJake]

@mildlybasic Is there a way I can watch either the flash talk or the poster session?

[Jake Cavaiani @CavaianiJake]

With limited precip in Interior Alaska this month, Stuart Creek is rapidly approaching base flow conditions. Permafrost plays an important role for seasonal patterns of stream chemistry as we move through the snowmelt period and into the summer due to the alteration of flow paths

[Jacob Adams @BioGeoJacob]

Troubleshooting field equipment malfunctions until 8pm isn’t our favorite thing to do- but it is beautiful out! Can’t get enough of interior Alaska… minus the mosquitos!🦟 #alaska #biogeochemistry

[Jacob Adams @BioGeoJacob]

Another great week in the field! This week we had the wonderful @margaret_haney_(an REU in our lab for the summer) join @CavaianiJake and I as we visited all of our core sites. #permafrost #wildfire #streams #alaska

[Sebastian Zavoico @vszavoico]

So excited to have some of my research published in a news story! It's a first for me, and hope more is to come. Now, to publish some of this myself....

Finally got out to install equipment at our last core stream, Stuart Creek! Stuart Creek’s watershed burned in 2013, making this a great site for me to study how boreal wildfire can influence #StreamMetabolism.
