“The case for research integration, from genomics to remote sensing, to understand biodiversity change and functional dynamics in the world’s lakes” is now published in final version with Global Change Biology! This was my first collaboration with Steve Thackeray after many interesting and engaging conversations over the years – really fun to think about why and how we should be developing more integrative approaches to doing limnology. (Adding a pic of Crater Lake to this post because it’s a pretty lake and I love our National Park Service lakes!)

What constitutes a Food-Energy Water nexus problem – how is it different from other natural resource management issues? Proud of our INFEWS team‘s new interdisciplinary paper: Defining the Nature of the Nexus: Specialization, Connectedness, Scarcity, and Scale in FEW Management. 

We are sad to say goodbye to Steve Powers but so excited for him to take this next step in his career, as a new Assistant Professor at Baylor University! Check out his job postings as he builds out his lab…

Michael Meyer conducted an evidence synthesis to characterize the ways in which Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) in the environment have been studied over time, ecosystems, and geographies. He was able to identify some clear knowledge gaps – i.e. where we know PPCPs are abundant in the environment, but relatively little is known about them. It’s available online early today!
