Thanks @freshwaterscience.bsky.social for featuring our recent work on suspended river algae dynamics applying sediment transport hysteresis theory to stream ecosystem ecology. More fun #transdiciplinary #covergent science from our team at the Stroud Water Research Center @stroudcenter.bsky.social.

January 27–31 is Winter Salt Week, and Stroud Water Research Center is leading the charge in the mid-Atlantic region.

You can order a free Freshwater Test Kit to
measure chloride levels in a local stream, lake, or river and contribute to our research.
