Mussels spawning in our flow viz experiment…the heat wave made them frisky! ⁦Matt Reidenbach⁩ ⁦Carrington Lab⁩ ⁦UW Biology⁩ ⁦Friday Harbor Labs⁩

A great research trip to Friday Harbor, WA is now complete. Many mussels were collected and studied (but none eaten!). Thanks to ⁦Friday Harbor Labs⁩ and ⁦Emily Carrington⁩ for being wonderful hosts.

Airborne LiDAR data was found to accurately quantify marsh edge morphology and reef-lined marshes were found to have more gently sloping edges compared to exposed edges, likely due to protection provided by oyster reefs. Read more about this study: bit.ly/meps_669_17

Our #REU students wrapped up their projects and presented all their hard work last night. Coastal forests, marshes, seagrass, oysters, barrier islands… They captured the whole landscape! US LTER

A fun day to do public outreach with The Nature Conservancy to discuss our oyster restoration research in Wachapreague, VA

What a fantastic few days to be able to interact with (and be inspired by) musicians, poets, writers, artists, and scientists who came together through UVA’s Coastal Futures Conservatory ⁦Virginia Coast Reserve LTER⁩

UVa EnviSci has a new postdoctoral fellowship thru the Rising Scholars Postdoctoral Program (UVA Graduate College of Arts & Sciences) to support scholars from groups underrepresented in our department. Open to all environmental sciences fields! evsc.as.virginia.edu/news/story/6911

The engineering effects of #oyster reefs modified the abundance of #infauna at distances up to 40 m from reefs, while changes in local flow more likely explained the distribution of #sediment composition bit.ly/meps_686_91

Thank you Penn Cove Shellfish for hosting our tri-lab group today! Seeing farm-to-table aquaculture first-hand inspires and motivates our lab, field and modelling studies Friday Harbor Labs, funded by U.S. National Science Foundation BIOOCE. #eatmussels Mike Nishizaki 🇨🇦 Matt Reidenbach Carrington Lab UW Biology

A really nice paper was just published by my (now graduated) PhD student Elizabeth Murphy, through a great collaboration with colleagues at US Naval Academy: Boundary layer hydrodynamics of patchy biofilms tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

A fun and muddy day working on the oyster reefs ⁦Virginia Coast Reserve LTER⁩
