Now out: our @EnvSciTech paper using high-frequency data to assess conductivity and chloride in the eastern US.

A belated huge congratulations to Julian, who is a TU Geology graduate from a few years ago! Well done!

[Robert Ladwig @hydrobert]

Our paper @RockLinnea @hildug is out in L&O Letters @aslo_org: "Impact of salinization on lake stratification and spring mixing". We used buoy data, a theoretical and a modeling approach to quantify effects of salt on Mendota&Monona

[Hilary Dugan @hildug]

Hats off to @hydrobert for leading this wonderful paper. It was a fun undertaking and has a little bit of something for everyone... observational data, theory, and modeling!

There's a lot of data and code - and it's all available here: https://t.co/v4V4ShGolX

We must protect our freshwater ecosystems and drinking water supplies from #roadsalt #salinization. We discuss some issues and solutions in our new paper @ESAFrontiers.

@LowSulfate @RiverChem Thanks for the heads up on this @LowSulfate. I wouldn’t have seen it since I’m not on Twitter much these days. @revelethBGC

[Joel Moore @mooregeochem]

@revelethBGC @LowSulfate @RiverChem Feel free to DM or email with questions.

[Joel Moore @mooregeochem]

@LowSulfate @RiverChem @revelethBGC I purchased a Mettler Toledo G20 titrator several years ago with a Rondolino auto sampler (9 samples). It was the only multi-sample solution that I could find that wasn’t outrageously expensive (>$20-25K). We do end point titration to pH 3.5 & manually calc alk

@microbialmatt Thanks so much for passing along the word! Much appreciated.

Hope you’re hanging in there ok.

More details: I’m involved in this study that’s being led by a fantastic pre-tenure colleague Peggy McNeal in collaboration with colleagues at Western Michigan: Heather Petcovic, Matt Reeves, & Timi Stephens-Popoola.

I can't convey how super-excited the geophysicists here are about this figure. 'Giddy' comes close. Loving this energy

[Joel Moore @mooregeochem]

@waterbarnes @RiverChem 🎉 💜 💧

[Joel Moore @mooregeochem]

@waterbarnes @RiverChem In addition to my general interest, on the urban Critical Zone project, we’re measuring pH + alkalinity (which I plan to model pCO2 from) as well as dissolved CO2 (via GC I think? whatever, the NEON method is). So I’m starting to think about the comparison of those data

[Joel Moore @mooregeochem]

@waterbarnes @RiverChem Make sense on circumneutral waters & stability.

Yeah, I could never entirely wrap my brain around:
Degassing/exch of CO2 doesn’t affect alkalinity
But also
Be absolutely sure there’s no headspace

[Joel Moore @mooregeochem]

@LowSulfate @RiverChem A few papers over the last decade have discussed the challenges of carbonate versus non-carbonate contributions to alkalinity in freshwater, but the places where non-carb is much of a factor tend to be really dilute systems with high DOC, e.g., northern New England or boreal.

[Joel Moore @mooregeochem]

@LowSulfate @RiverChem I’ve predominantly sampled in silicate-bedrock dominated systems (though starting to sample a few carbonate streams now). So most of my streams, even if urban and relatively high alkalinity vs bkgd, aren’t carbonate streams/ grdwaters where carbonate precipitation might occur

[Joel Moore @mooregeochem]

@waterbarnes @RiverChem My previous tweet should have read “in what sort of (biogeochemical) [environments] have you seen…

I’m going to have my students collect a few unfiltered samples in the next couple of sampling rounds to compare filtered & unfiltered.

[Joel Moore @mooregeochem]

@waterbarnes @RiverChem Really interesting! @waterbarnes, in what sort of (biogeochemical) have you seen the biggest differences between filtered/unfiltered? I’ve always done titrations on filtered (because I was trained by geochemists).
