DEEP DIVE: 25 years on, CERP is restoring the Everglades. But will it be enough? - VoteWater.org The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan is often described as a massive effort to “get the water right.” Unfortunately, CERP isn’t going to “get the water right” right away. On Dec. 11, 2000, President Bill Clinton signed the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration…

25 years after it was launched, the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan is still a work in progress, with real progress made but much left to do. Check out VoteWater’s Deep Dive on what’s been achieved and what’s still ahead. Read more: https://ow.ly/4Ni450Y9kYN

After nearly a month process between written and oral exams, I can say that officially I am a PhD candidate!

Our fantastic undergrad, Rene, presenting his poster at URCA on the interaction of LAI and soil respiration in longleaf pine forests! @starrlab.bsky.social

Conceptual figure illustrating predicted biogeochemical responses to changes in network connectivity and streamflow. (a) At the watershed outlet, we predicted NO3− export would increase in response to increasing watershed‐scale connectivity and streamflow, resulting in an enrichment of NO3− downstream. As watershed‐scale connectivity (active surface drainage network length) and streamflow decrease in the dry‐down, NO3− export will decrease due to N source limitations. (b) Throughout the watershed, we predicted the seasonal dry‐down period to be the greatest potential for denitrification to occur given the availability of both NO3− and dissolved organic carbon, anoxic conditions, and decreased streamflow.

Big CONGRATS to @kacizarek.bsky.social!!! Her new paper is out in @agu.org's JGR-B!

The paper has a little bit of everything -- N biogeochemistry, intermittent stream hydrology, concentration-connectivity relationships!

Miami-Dade County brush fire surpasses Southern California's Palisades Fire in size, Florida Forest Service numbers show The massive brush fire​ that has been burning in southern Miami-Dade County has now grown bigger than the Palisades Fire of California that captured national headlines earlier this year.

With winds coming from the NW today in South FL, this could continue to spread towards the coast.

Wildfire in Southeast Everglades/Card Sound Rd area is getting close to flux tower site US-Evm. This was taken from our phenocam system this afternoon.

Microbes that naturally occur in soils can capture methane leaking from decommissioned oil and gas wells, new #AGUpubs study reports. Soils could be used as a nature-based solution for methane mitigation, the findings suggest.

Those count as fluxes too

Would love to be added!

🥞THIS FRIDAY: Come out to the Math & Science Building for some homemade pancakes and to speak with your BGSA officers!

A quick trip for flux tower maintenance at SRS

Cruz-Led Investigation Uncovers $2 Billion in Woke DEI Grants at NSF, Releases Full Database

Is your NSF grant on this list? Reach out if so!

Ted Cruz released a list of grants flagged for DEI or "neo-Marxist class warfare propaganda" from his Oct. report.

NSF is using keywords from that report for their review, though Cruz's list is likely larger.

Exclusive: how NSF is scouring research grants for violations of Trump’s orders The US National Science Foundation has unfrozen grant funding, but it continues to scrutinize research projects, sowing turmoil.

NEW: We obtained the directions NSF program officers are following to review all grants for compliance with the Trump EOs and the turmoil it has created in an agency mandated to broaden STEM participation. Our story: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

From my understanding for UA, NSF disperses funds annually for my GRFP. The university then administers semester fees and stipends throughout the year. I am still pending payment for the month and waiting on word from our grad school offices.

hello all - has anyone heard anything about NSF postdocs or GRFPs getting their February stipends today? 🧪

Weird, #5 on the FAQ section no longer reflects what you have from earlier this weekend. No specifics regarding GRFP

National Science Foundation freezes grant review in response to Trump executive orders The National Science Foundation has cancelled all grant review panels this week. It's unclear how long the pause could last.

The National Science Foundation cancelled over 60 grant review panels today, effectively grinding funding of new projects to a halt.

The so-far indefinite pause comes as NSF grapples with the impact Trump's executive orders will have on their grantmaking process.

The Starr Lab is excited to move our social media to Blue Sky.

First post here! From recent trip out to flux tower FCE LTER TS1/US-Esm site. It’s been a wet, wet-season at Taylor Slough.
