Super-excited to be giving a Science Hour Facebook LIVE talk on Wednesday Sept 30! Hosted by project partners @EscambiaExt County Extension and #SantaRosaCounty and #EscambiaCounty @FloridaSeaGrant., from 10 Mile Creek, tributary to #PerdidoBay. https://t.co/qu71fzVUJU

Very excited to be presenting at the 2020 National Coastal and Estuarine Virtual Summit on Sept 29, along with my colleagues working to form Estuary Programs in the Florida Panhandle! 1:30pm Central US time, Concurrent Session 2. More info at https://t.co/aIf4tNSdgJ

Lots of uprooted trees in west Escambia County. Here, Savannah is pointing to a staff plate and pressure transducer that used to be at the bottom of the stream channel but was pulled upward when a nearby tree was blown over.

Rainfall and runoff from #HurricaneSally pushed some fine sediment into this front yard.

[Matthew Deitch @westFLwaters]

More debris at our Bay Street site in Gulf Breeze. Looks like our instrumentation held on. And this is a channel that is in bad need of an ecologically oriented restoration project.

[Matthew Deitch @westFLwaters]

Good thing we’re wearing masks in the field!!

[Matthew Deitch @westFLwaters]

It’s hard to capture the smell of this.

Middle fork of Tom King Bayou, in the Holley by the Sea development. Yuck.

Checking out field sites after #HurricaneSally. Navarre park shows the effect of a 5 ft storm surge.

Here's some cool rainfall data from Pensacola Bay area last week--similar rainfall measured at Pensacola Airport (~2.5 inches both days), but very different patterns in surrounding area. Thanks to all you WeatherUnderground weather station hosts!

[Matthew Deitch @westFLwaters]

Checking out stormwater infrastructure in "Unnamed tributary to Jackson Creek" near Pensacola, FL. Grad students Kaitlyn and Ronell will be collecting and analyzing discharge and water quality from this site (and 9 others nearby) later this year.

Bottomland hardwoods are an important but ignored ecosystem in FL. Our new mega project will study ecology and hydrology of these forests in Apalachicola River Floodplain, establishing a network of long term plots for forest and hydro monitoring. @westFLwaters @ApalachRiver @UF

[Matthew Deitch @westFLwaters]

Interested in #streamrestoration? Funded #PhDstudent #gradassistantship available @UF to study #waterquality, #hydrology, and #aquaticecology effects of restoring sloughs along the #Apalachicola River. If interested, DM or email for details!

[Ajay Sharma : Forestry and Ecology Lab @SharmaForestLab]

I have a fully-funded Ph.D position available in my lab @SFRC_UF @UFIFASWFREC with @westFLwaters for an exciting project on assessing forestry and ecological responses to Apalachicola River slough restoration. Contact me for more information or pl. RT.

Systematic testing of Onset HOBO water level sensors this week: 4 at 1 ft, 4 at 0.5 ft, and 3 recording atmospheric pressure.

[Matthew Deitch @westFLwaters]

Post-doctoral research position available in my Watershed Management Lab! We're looking for a researcher to lead research in water quality, quantity, and watershed dynamics as they relate to the health of estuaries in the Florida Panhandle. See more at https://t.co/nFNMpSNk9p
