Prepping for drilling 50-100 m cores over the next week to characterize our dryland critical zone pecan orchard and playa sites Dryland Critical Zone Lin Ma UTEP

Sonic drilling at the Ag site, TX Dryland Critical Zone to understand the recharge during irrigation and mobility of salts, nutrients and metals. Lin Ma Anthony Darrouzet-Nardi

Dryland CZ deep sonic drilling at the Red Lake Playa in The Jornada It was fun to be a part of the sampling team for the 100 m soil cores! Anthony Darrouzet-Nardi Lin Ma Dr.Mark_Engle Lixin Jin Dryland Critical Zone UTEP

I was really pleased to get this paper out there on nutrient dynamics at our Dryland Critical Zone field site! It was based on data originally collected by REUs working with Jennie McLaren and myself. There are some neat shrub island effects and nitrate stuck out as behaving differently.

Congrats to Viridiana Orona and Briana Salcido on completing their M.S. degrees and Dr. Jane Martinez on her Ph.D.!! UTEP UTEP Dryland Critical Zone

Huge congratulations to Valeria Molina, Briana Salcido, and Viri Orona for receiving their MS degrees UTEP UTEP⛏Geological⛏Sciences. Their projects have improved our understandings of soil CO2 production and transport in natural and managed Dryland Critical Zone! Anthony Darrouzet-Nardi

Congrats AYSO region 272 U10 champs - Coach James and the Knights!

I enjoyed a one-nighter in the Gila Wilderness over the weekend. Even over Memorial Day with nice weather, once I got off the river trail I saw exactly no one. It was great! In the picture are some neat white rocks I was hiking toward.

We are doing a search for a department chair (Biological Sciences UTEP), and I am serving on the search committee. Please see the ad and send it to anyone who might be interested. Reach out if you have questions. utep.interviewexchange.com/jobofferdetail… .College

I am truly honored and thrilled to be selected as an Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) Exploratory Research awardee! Looking forward to exciting collaborations with the EMSL team! Special thanks to my advisor Anthony Darrouzet-Nardi for the support and guidance! UTEP Dryland Critical Zone

We had some great conversations with national lab folks and it was fun to say hi to Dr. Asmeret Asefaw Berhe (she/her)👩🏽‍🔬🌍 and see her leading the pack!

Happy faces after three hours of group presentations and discussions on our work at the Ivey orchard, perfect for the #FaceOfScience day. UTEP⛏Geological⛏Sciences Dryland Critical Zone Anthony Darrouzet-Nardi Lin Ma Jesus Manuel Ochoa-Rivero @MargueriteMau

Congrats to M.S. graduate Lindsey Dacey who finished a great thesis, and to Matthew Jones who finished his B.S. with honors! It has been awesome having both of these students in our lab for the last several years!

Submit a GSA abstract to our session -- T150. Critical Zone Science: Intersection of Processes Linked to Geomorphology, Ecology and Climate. Due June 18! gsa.confex.com/gsa/2024AM/top…

I'll be at ESA next week and am looking to connect with prospective Ph.D. students (you or someone you know!) We have funded opportunities between our Dryland Critical Zone project and the soon-to-launch CrustNet! See anthony.darrouzet-nardi.net for more details and get in touch!

My collaborator Anthony Darrouzet-Nardi is looking for a PhD student to work on CrustNet in 2025. This is an awesome opportunity for students interested in ecology, globally distributed experiments, and soils. Go to anthony.darrouzet-nardi.net for more information.
