Climate change research trailblazer elected to prestigious list of AAAS Fellows Congrats to Rodrigo Vargas - Rodrigo Vargas - from Univ. of Delaware ! exprt.co/3QmYdF7

🏅Announcing the 2024 ESA award recipients!🏅 These remarkable individuals have made outstanding contributions to ecology in research, teaching, sustainability, diversity, and lifelong commitment to the profession. Read the full announcement here: esa.org/blog/2024/05/3…

Congratulations to Dr. James Holmquist & Dr. Pat Megonigal, co-winners of Ecological Society's George Mercer Award! Their team, led by Dr. Megan Vahsen of University of Notre Dame, won for a paper exploring how rapid plant evolution is changing how wetlands resist sea level rise. esa.org/blog/2024/05/3…

Researchers in the Department of Notre Dame Biology have been honored with awards from the Society of America (Ecological Society) for their research. science.nd.edu/news-and-media…

Coastal Carbon Network products, including our Cohort Marsh Equilibrium Model R package and Data Atlas, were cited in this California Ocean Protection Council (OPC) report as important to monitoring #BlueCarbon as part of the state's coastal restoration goals. opc.ca.gov/wp-content/upl…

When it comes to evolution, how fast is too fast? In the last century, one wetland plant has evolved more quickly than expected—but not in a way that helps it adapt to climate change. sercblog.si.edu/how-rapid-plan… 📸 by Megan Vahsen

As states grapple with climate change, they need to know the available tools. Coastal wetlands are great at sequestering carbon, but states need resources to better quantify these carbon stores. A new SmithsonianEnv-led tool can help. pew.org/3WQo5Ma

This research by SmithsonianEnv, led by Jim Holmquist and Jaxine Wolfe, helps states understand how #bluecarbon habitats can help them counter the ill effects of #climatechange.

🌊 New Study on #methane fluxes from #tidalwetlands 🌿Now out! 🧵doi.org/10.1111/gcb.17… Global Change Biology Coastal Carbon Network @BerkeleyBiomet GRAB - UAB

How do we know which #wetlands emit the most planet-warming methane? Scientists from our Coastal Carbon Network network recently discovered hot, fresh & flood-prone wetlands are the top emitters, while salty wetlands emit barely any. s.si.edu/3ATVeiJ Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona @UnivOfMaryland

Happy to announce the publication of the PEPRMT-Tidal model borne out of the Coastal Carbon Network Methane Working Group. Our goal was to improve methane emission predictions in tidal wetlands. Truly a collaborative effort with an incredible group of scientists. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

First global estimate of soil carbon stocks in tidal marshes! The world’s marshes hold 1.4 billion tonnes of carbon, with 1/3 found in the United States 🇺🇸 Led by Tania L. Maxwell @taniamaxwell.bsky.social Tom Worthington Paper and data freely available here: nature.com/articles/s4146…

I'm really excited to share a new paper out in Science of the Total Environment "Controls on spatial variation in porewater methane concentrations across United States tidal wetlands". This is Erika Koontz's first first-author paper, and my first paper as a research mentor.

New #TidalWetland #BlueCarbon and #Methane study from my lab. We teamed up with >40 researchers sampling 27 sites to determine the most important spatial scales and environmental variables to observe for predicting the presence of a potent greenhouse gas.

The rollout of the Coastal Carbon Atlas was recognized as one of the Smithsonian's Top 7 Scientific Achievements of 2024. Thanks to the community that contributed and made this happen! si.edu/stories/smiths… #BlueCarbon #CoastalWetlands #NaturalClimateSolutions #MarineCDR
