Check out our new paper, led by @abagaelpruitt.bsky.social, quantifying whole stream/river denitrification rates in an ag river and its tributary across seasons. Abagael did a great job leading this work and its a really great application of the open-channel N2 method! dx.doi.org/10.1029/2025...

Reducing Nitrogen Inputs Can Rapidly Reverse Eutrophication in Shallow Phosphorus-Rich Lakes

Texas A&M’s President just removed a dean and department head from their positions after they supported a professor whose lesson on gender was challenged by a student. www.kbtx.com/2025/09/09/a...
A&M Dean removed following student complaints over curriculum
The Department of Justice has also acknowledged the situation and said it would be investigating.

Had a blast presenting LTRM data to the public, students, and other managers today. Really fun to tell the story of Pool 8! Also learned a ton about fish movement, especially in high water conditions.

This week began our 2-week winter #waterquality monitoring season. We're thankful for our partners at the Chautauqua National Wildlife Refuge and use of their airboat while ours is in the shop. Ice thickness on Tuesday was still around 8 inches in most places, though quickly thawing. #UMRR
