Two scientific talk abstracts on a blue background with wavy topographic patterns. Top abstract titled 'EPS, EPS, every where: Noncohesive seabed evolution with ecosystem impacts' describes how exopolymeric substances (EPS) in marine environments contribute to carbon sequestration and sediment transport, focusing on biocohesion and bioturbation impacts on sediment mobility and seabed roughness through in situ and laboratory experimentation. Bottom abstract titled 'Multiscale Fluid, Sediment, and Biota Interactions in Aquatic Ecosystems' discusses using microfluidic and flume experiments to investigate biofilm dynamics, sediment transport, and hyporheic exchange, revealing how microbes and vegetation influence sediment stability, geomorphic evolution, and pollutant transport for erosion control, water quality, and ecosystem health. Bottom section contains partial speaker biographies.

🌊 Sediment transport + biofilm + EPS = a fascinating Virtual Science Talk this month!
Dr. Stephanie Dohner (US Naval Research Lab) and Dr. Judy Yang (U of Minnesota) are teaming up on November 19 to talk about how tiny microbes and vegetation influence massive coastal processes. bit.ly/EPSP_NOV25

Really cool insights on the affects of biofilms on microplastic mobility from Julie Hope and colleagues (@annebaar.bsky.social/ @icemeanders.bsky.social)

We published our #Geomorphica editorial!
From background on how Geomorphica came to life to the countries of employment of our current volunteers, have a look at journals.psu.edu/geomorphica/....

Big thank you to everyone who made and makes this journey so special and possible, you are the best.

#Geomorphica volunteers will be actively participating at #EGU25 next week! Meet us at our poster on Wednesday, 30 Apr, 2-6pm CET
Hall X2, X2.48 or approach us anytime. We have Geomorphica stickers on our name badges, and will bring some to distribute

Check it out! Very proud about the team behind it!

Yes it's odd. Maybe there's not a similar sized facility available around these dates?

I'd only seen this kind of facility on TV and now one of the kids is warming up to swim down there 💪🏼🤯

Bellefonte YMCA cuts swim team, leaving parents and swimmers outraged and confused Forty-five swimmers and their families are looking for answers about merging with other YMCA teams and the future of the funds raised by the booster club.

Looks like Scott Mitchell has issues with swim teams in the area @centredaily.bsky.social
Based on the news article linked below, we may not expect him to even show up to a meeting... Now Is this what's in store for the state college team? www.centredaily.com/news/local/c...

New federal directives have instructed agencies to cancel any external presentations for several weeks. As a result, the EPSP event with David Callery and Cara Sponaugle of the USFS BAER team for Wednesday January 29th, has been canceled.

We are sad. We hope to reschedule this event in the future.

I've seen people come pick the separate bags from separate receptacles and put them all inside a single larger bag... It was a disappointing moment. We try!

We really hope that this will unify the characterization of plastics in the environment moving forward. 🧪⚒️

A demonstration of the importance of using Absolute Density over just polymer type. The bottles contain varying amounts of air, water, and sand, and so behave differently in the environment.

🎉 New Paper Alert! ✨

“Plastic as a Sediment: A universal and objective practical solution…”

Now we can assess plastic as a sediment and better understand the relationship of its physical properties with its environmental distribution! ✨It’s so exciting!✨
