FCE LTER All Scientists’ Meeting Day 1

Our work with NASA Blueflux and others, led by Cheryl Doughty, upscaling CO2 and CH4 fluxes in the Everglades, is published! Check out the paper and see how management and climate are impacting C fluxes across South Florida!

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

@owlstown.com Please add my academic website to the Owlstown Academic Gallery.<br><br>URL: dyannick.owlstown.net

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

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! Check it out here: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

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. Read the study: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

🥞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

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. www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/2/cruz-...

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...

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

Next is S-T-R-E-A-M-Flow from the BSC Grad Students: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNAB...

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. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

One last tower climb for the year!

This is the latest paper that our group has contributed to! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

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.
