My second chapter is out! We find that pulses of suspended sediment can temporarily enhance marsh levee prominence, potentially undermining broader marsh resilience to sea-level rise.

New Publication! Mingying Chuo shows that “both nitrogen and phosphorus inputs should be reduced to control blooms in well-mixed, tropical to temperate, oligohaline estuaries worldwide.” aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley…
Something in the water? Check out Postdoctoral scholar @mark_ciesielski's recent publication on detecting pathogens involved in oyster mortality - something affecting the majority of industry stakeholders.

New publication on barrier islands by PhD Candidate @joshimmel and the Rodriguez Coastal Geology Lab - will they stay or will they go?
Barrier islands don’t just get pushed landward—sometimes, they get erased seaward.
If we want to forecast barrier island futures, we may need to treat overwash and outwash as fundamentally different beasts.
New publication is out in JGR Earth Surface -

UNC IMS PhD Candidate @AlexisLongmire_ has a knack for seeing things from an ~intertidal~ perspective

This newly installed "living shoreline" I'm working at along the @NCReserve's Rachel Carson Reserve seems to be living (😉) up to its name

We can’t wait to connect with local educators (and fellow researchers) at the SciREN Coast event. It’s a great opportunity to put our science into the hands of our community. We hope to see you there! 🐠
We’re so excited to have Dr. Nathan Hall as the director of the field site here at IMS. Read about him and his history with the program here!
This fall, the Morehead City Field Site welcomed a new director, but he is no stranger to the program. Nathan Hall, who has taken leadership of the field site, has been involved with the program for more than 16 years.

#FreakyFriday critter just dropped. These sea hares have been cropping up in our tanks at the lab. Their head tentacles look like ears, hence the “hare” 🐰
They’re safe to touch but not 🍽️ and eject ink to confuse predators when camouflage fails
