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.

Great work by @marcpeipoch.bsky.social, @riverscience.bsky.social, and #ScottEnsign!
Where does suspended algae come from? These authors use concentration–discharge (C–Q) relationships to find out. Check out the latest publication in #FreshwaterScience

My colleague Diana Oviedo @stroudcenter.bsky.social and I are working on PFAS fate and transport from sludge treated ag fields to freshwater ecosystems. Her recent paper is featured in today's @nytimes.com. Great work, Diana!

🚨 Breaking: NSF faces radical shake-up as officials abolish its 37 divisions
1️⃣ Removes/demotes division director leaders
2️⃣ Forced layoff notices to NSF staff going out tonight
3️⃣ More grant terminations expected tomorrow
One glimmer of hope: the 8 directorates appear to be staying
This is so insane...

So do we just not check the demographics boxes at this point?
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.

The large watershed numbers would also integrate increased anthropogenic water consumption/diversion.
Extensive work has been on done in the US Pacific Northwest on salmonids and LWD, much of it by the US Forest Service. There is plenty of clear evidence dating back to the 1990's that wood additions improve juvenile salmonid survival. Cover habitat is cover habitat, whether in Scotland or Oregon.
