What We Love About Critical Zone Research: Nancy Weinheimer - University of Wyoming

Discovering more about how life and soil interact fuels the imagination of Nancy Weinheimer member of the #CriticalZone Collaborative Network @bedrockzone, one of nine clusters in the CZCN along with the #BigData Cluster.

We spoke to her at the American Geophysical Union fall meeting in December 2022. #AGU22

Design floods are modeling tool used by #CivilEngineers to plan how to build communities in areas that are hydrologically active.

Design floods are also very useful for #EnvironmentalScience research. At #AGU22 last year #UniversityOfVermont-based and Cluster collaborator Scott Lawson presented about work in this area: https://bit.ly/3KTuj9O

Good morning, #science!

These sticker-style illustrations were generated by #midjourney with a prompt about #science and #coffee

Some outtakes from #AIillustrations we shared on #AGU22 mornings last #December.

#AGU22 #keynote addresses available to stream now. Here's Carlos Alvarado Quesada, the president of #CostaRica who spoke on December 12, 2022.

What really happened at AGU?
A protest at the world's largest Earth science conference led to a high-profile climate scientist's firing. Was it justified?

There's a lot to like about the #CriticalZone. After all, it's the weave of #ComplexSystems that support life on #Earth.

From the #bedrock to the #treetops, it's full of lush plant life, beautiful geologic formations, your garden in the backyard.

But for Eric Parker, based at the University of New Hampshire, who is a hydrologist, there's no question about which part of the Critical Zone is his favorite.
