Congratulations to Kristine Jimenez, manager of our lab and much of our coastal soils research. Kristine’s Masters research was just published in JGR-Biogeosciences. Kristine recently conducted this research while pursuing her M.S. at the University of Alabama, prior to joining our lab. Her research investigated wetland-atmosphere carbon exchange in the Everglades, comparing marshes of distinctly different hydroperiods. Kristine’s experience has proven helpful to our lab, where we also investigate the role of hydrology in wetland carbon cycling. Check out her paper here.

With our colleague Michael Castellano, at Iowa State, we recently co-authored a book chapter that develops conceptual models linking biogeochemistry with hydropedology (or the fine-scale movement of water through soil). Please contact us for a copy of the chapter. Here is the full citation:

We recently gave a presentation on our coastal soils project, highlighting results both from the core project and from honors thesis research by Jewel Brown, one of our recent undergraduate alums.

Fenda Akiwumi, one of our collaborators, just gave a presentation on our Water & Society project at the Association of American Geographers annual meeting in New York.
